The box in the pic would suggest it is a fake. Zero feedback eBayers don't usually have access to unrealeased/special Oakley products so that is another indication it is fake.

I put this on my watch list, as well. The box sends up a red flag because of all the other fakes with that style RX box.

It does look like a really good fake, and a really cool color combo, IMO.

I'm about 98% sure it;s fake.

Oh, he also is auctioning a pair of XX that are definitely fake. Make that 100% sure they're fake.

I am very sure it's fake, just check with my fren who work in Oakley, they don't have the silver combo...

Silver w/blue icons and Black lenses?? What kinda combo is that? You'd think with a silver frame and blue icons, the lenses would be Ice.

I'd think it would be quite easy for a skilled faker to make a cast of the Gascan because of it's straight lines. That silver paint would probably start coming off the day you got them.

Those RX boxes you see on ebay are usually accompanied by a fake.

Yeah, fake boxes really like the company of fake Oakley, some even include fake warranty !

It's not even a real Rx box. I can see the Gascan being very easy to fake.

dropping a hint

you guys could be missing out on a exclusive


i spoke w/ my rep last week and he told me that they were releasing a ice lens gas can very limited

i was pretty stoked to get the heads up

so i ordered a few

the reason for the release is a few employes @ foothill want a fire lens release so they are testing the ice to see how well they sell

the ice lens gascan exists and is in a polished black frame and is EU exclusive... I think these are fake.

dose oakley make black polerized lenses for juliet?

yes. I think the only colour combo that had them was the carbon/black polarized, which is discontinued, but I'm 95% sure they still sell black polar. replacement lens kits.

The auction is fake, but there will be Ice Gascans. Check the ebay thread, one popped up already.

And limited in the UK to only 600 pairs. The look bloody great (IMHO) and should be released very shortly.

Didn't we see an ebay sale for like 150 Rx boxes for $50 just a few weeks ago?

yeah, and I predicted we'd be seeing them paired with fakes soon after.

That's because you're a soothsayer, Dann. BTW, when am I going to find my 0.3P's?

so I see this again, I already contacted the seller and ask to meet in person. The other silver Gascan was sold to a friend of mine and I am awaiting his reaction.
