Oakley warranty for sunglasses
The short version
Oakley doesn't cover everything, but keeps frame, hinges and lenses covered to 2 years. That full coverage is the same as most of the 12 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Oakley's published warranty, checked October 2026.
