    I just phoned Arnette to order some goggle lenses, and was told Arnette no longer stock spare lenses, this is sure to upset a few people with Arnette goggles requiring a new lens.
    I thought Arnette sold fairly well so this is a bit of a surprise to me.

    I got the impression that Arnette no longer take part in the snow industry.
    To not keep spare parts for goggles sold only last year is very disappointing and may see some challenges in consumer affairs tribunals, I know if I bought a set of $230 goggles last year and couldn't get a new lens I would not be happy.
    Carerra keep replacement lenses for about 10 years after they drop a model from production, I hear the parent company of Arnette (Luxottica) is attempting to buy Oakley and this may be why they have ceased with Arnette goggles.
