They donated about 50 sets at our OTHG National.
I have used the Oakley and Spy tearoffs and they are very good.
Good guys and GREAT pricing.

Been using them for 3 yrs or so. Work great.

Some will jump in here and tell you they're too thin, and they'll only use Oakley. Whatever.....spend your money where you want.

They cost 1/4 of retail on Oakley O frame product.

No thinner than the laminated Oakley product......

What, other than being about the same thickness as Oakley laminated tearoffs, makes them crap?? Just wondering.....

They're alright if you use 5 or less. They don't fit very well, but they're good for races that aren't very dusty or muddy and you don't need too many.

The Oakley O's fit exactly the same as Oakley product.....I can't speak for other brands. If you need more than 5 at once, seems like you need the laminated sets anyway. Too much distortion without them. My experience anyways.

That has got to be a big mess....if mine aren't that bad, I finish the moto and tear it at the trailer.

I'd like to thank those of you that used our product for the positive reviews. We try to make our products exact replicas of the OEM tear-offs for optimum fit. We have tweaked some designs in the past when we had issues and got those resolved. When there is an issue with a customer we resolve it quickly and get them the products that they need and if you talk to almost all of our customers they are happy with the product as we get many referrals from our customers. If you don't like our products we will gladly exchange it for a full refund. We use thinner material because that's actually what people asked for. We actually had thicker materials in the past and people didn't like it because they couldn't stack as many so we switched to a thinner type for that reason, not because we were trying to cut costs because that is very minimal. All we are trying to do is offer a good product at a good price with excellent customer service. If any of you guys have any questions feel free to e-mail me or send me a pm.

I've been using them for a couple of years. I like the thinner material because they have less distortion and you can't beat the price. The only downside is the grip portion of the tear-off buzzes in the wind more than a thicker one. When I'm just practicing, I take a pair of scissors and clip them off.

What's the difference between the "Oakley O's" and standard Oakley's?

My friend had a pack for Scott goggles and they fit horrible, there was probably a 1/4inch gap between the lens and the tearoff in the center of the goggle. I figured he ordered the wrong ones but the package said the correct goggle.

That being said my next tear off order will be coming from them. Worth a shot!

I had similar issues. I didn't always have the gap issue though. Mabey they got better since then. I do know my pins were fully engaged and the name brand worked fine. I havn't used them in 3 yrs but I used to have a problem with them just falling off the pins while I was racing. Not 1 at a time either. They would all come off. They seemed too thin to hold in the mud. I would also get crinckles in my vision when a rock would hit and the whole set was no good. I then got a sponsorship, so I got allot of the name brands for free.

I still have a pack of 100 of the others though. I'll never use them. They'd be great for practice though!

I haven't tried them, but actually, it seems that thinner would be better. The less plastic that you have to look through, the clearer your vision will be.

Great price...a little too thin for my liking. For you Oakley guys who spend a fortune on their overpriced tearoffs cheaptearoffs.com is the only way to go.

We tried them last year and didn't like them. We had the gap as mentioned above and the pin holes were to small so that when you push them on the pins they would tear and not stay on. I liked them being thin though, they just didn't fit the Scott HI Volts very well. Maybe they have refined them since then?

A lot of the issues that we had in the past were that people would order the wrong type of Scott tear-offs. The problem is that Scott makes their line up very confusing since they have Scott Works 83-89 and regular Scott 83-89 and Scott Works Voltage and Scott High Voltage and they all look similar with minor changes in pin locations which causes them to not be interchangeable even though they look like they would be. Often times people don't know which ones they have because they may no longer have the package. We have switched out quite a few of these when people order the wrong ones and we do so without any questions because we know it's confusing.

I have ordered from them several times and think the work great. I use them for my Oakley O frames and my only issue is they do not have the little cuts near the holes that the Oakley tear offs do. So sometimes I tear off more than one at a time. Even then they are way cheaper.

Pretty great that you're on here listening to your customers directly. Sounds like you're saying if anyone has a problem, you'll make it right for them. Big props for that.

Your product works great for my family on Oakley O's.

Thank you. Scott drives me nuts with their 20 different lines of goggles none of which use interchangeable tearoffs.

mabey that was my issue. When I got them they told me they would fit 89's or 83's.

I still had issues in the mud though even when the did fit right. Up above it was said about them tearing. That was the only other issue I had. They worked great for practce though.
