the color of the lenses is a dark blue, can't remember the name. Gargoyle website is no longer available to look up the details. they will no longer be making glasses. :(
@@highonahill76 i'm going to have to take better care of mine, i won't be able to replace them anymore. maybe you can find some on ebay or those auction websites. good luck and give us a shout if you find any.
from what I could find on the web there is no information that in 1984 Gargoyle had two model of these, it was just one size. now days they have two. but information on the web is scarce, maybe you have have the actual original sunglasses, i dont, anyways, thanks for the comment
@@RubenGarcia-px5vy I’ve owned 4 pairs. All except 1 were really small and squeezed my temples and the lenses flex. The good pair that I had when I was 17 before they were stolen was larger in size and had a rubber nose piece and came with a leather case and had the number 87 on the part of the lens where the temple met the lens. There were 2 sizes. The larger pair had longer temples and a wider lens. The larger ones are extremely hard to find and I haven’t found a reasonably priced pair since. Now I can’t even find larger pairs at all. And recently I haven’t been able to find old school ones with black lenses.
@@eddiespaghetti54321 thanks for your comment, thats a lot of good info, too bad Gargoyle decided to stop making these. Im still using the ones in video mostly for driving so I keep them in the case all the time.
Can someone explain to me why the Gargoyles web store doesn't sell outside the USA and Canada? I want to place my order from my country of residence in the old continent and I get an error message, I have to select another address and only Canada and the USA appear as option countries. Now it turns out that the World is only made up of North America and the rest of us don't exist, are we shit or what?
My Dale Earnhardt Sr Signature series gold gargoyle sunglasses of 35 years just broke. They split right in the center and I am pretty bummed out about it. I know gargoyle makes an 85s gold with black frames that come pretty close but I just don't know how close.
wow. after 35 years? unbelievable. honestly i had not seen that version, they look pretty cool in gold. good luck in fixing them or finding a replacement. thanks for sharing.
@@RubenGarcia-px5vy I purchase these glasses at his souvenir trailer in Richmond Virginia for a NASCAR race . Even back then they were pretty expensive $160. I can't find anyone to fix them and I even sent a text message to Gargoyle. I just ordered a pair of gargoyle sunglasses, black frame/ gold mirror 85mm that's as close as I'm going to get.
@@robertjakicic5878 they exceeded their lifetime so that's good, hopefully those new ones will do too. have you looked into 3d printers? they might recreate the frame, but the colors might be difficult to match. well assuming the lenses are intact
My black frame/ gold mirror gargoyle 85 just came in , and they look awesome. But unfortunately I will be sending them back i realize that the Earnhardt lens are larger then the 85. I contacted gargoyle and will be exchanging for the Classic, same style. Only problem now is the wait.
One question, are those sunglasses too big? I am 19 years old and I am thin, I do not know if they are too big by the way, the ones you show in the video is the normal model or the 85's classics?
the ones i am showing in the video are the now days classics, the width is 70mm, nowdays 85's are smaller, 66mm... you can find them on their website Gargoyleseyewear.com , people get confused with the sizes from the 1980's models and nowdays models. :)
@@RubenGarcia-px5vy Thanks. I really would like to buy the original gargoyles from the 80s, but as it is very rare that they appear for sale I think I will have to buy the new models although I do not know if the quality has decreased
@@ultradriverms i cant tell the difference from my experience because I have never owned the originals from 1980's but the ones im showing in the video are still good to this day, no scratches, nothing wrong with them other than one lost screw that i replaced and that is pretty much it, i use them almost everyday for driving.
@@beiderbeck81 i believe you have a 1980's model, because all the recent ones dont have the size printed anywhere... also, Gargoyles is no longer making sunglasses, so if you like those, take good care of them, but yeah.. to answer your questions, yes.. its the equivalent of the classics
They are still not the original generation - and Arnie wears the brown/silver/red tint - not the silver ice. The originals are 40 years old - and holy grail stuff. The way to tell - the new glasses have the gargoyles emblem on the nose bridge in gold. The older glasses have the emblem but are blacked out, and the legs are not rubber and have Gargoyles and the gold logo on both sides. They're nice. But they are not identical.
Thanks for your comment, i have been using Gargoyles since I bought the ones in the video and I see people looking at the brand, i was an Oakley user but now im a Gargoyle fan.
The new homage pair are no less beautiful. You will see my profile pic has the 85mm yellow shooters tint. Old 80's versi of na just have a leather case. I recommend modern rucker design or trench. They are awesome. The Arnie time is called rose, and aren't very nice to look at. These new homages are beautiful. ✌️
actually, 100 dollars is not that expensive compared with other trending brands and for such an iconic pair of sunglasses I think its worth it, but checking the Gargoyle website today, this particular model is not available anymore.
even though these bad boys are not available off of gargoyles website they are on amazon and you can get the 85s as well as the classics and right now they are on sale for 80 dollars
@@yungcashregister9657 looking at the pictures on amazon and reading some comments, it seems the ones on amazon have plastic legs or arms. the ones you see on this video bought on Gargoyle website have metal legs. but hey, at least there are options for us fans. thanks for you comment
I've ordered a pair of these. I see these are the black/ silver ice ones. I ordered the black/ grey ice version without realising. Do you think they'll be much of a noticeable difference?
@@RubenGarcia-px5vy Thanks man. They arrived yesterday and actually the glasses and the box say they're the black/ silver ice addition so not sure if they sent them by mistake or what. Or possibly theres just little difference between the grey and silver ice that they don't bother mentioning it. Either way I'm very happy with them!
I've had the same one's for over 30 years. Love them.
I still have the ones in the video, love them too. Thanks for the comment
"I'll be back" •_💥
They stop selling any sunglasses recently?
yep, they closed up shop, no longer making any type of sunglasses, shame i really liked that brand
Are these black or blue ??

@@RubenGarcia-px5vy damn that sucks dude I know I was searching them and the had all these bright colors no dark ones I really wanted to get some :(

Wrong! Classics are the bigger original size. The 85s are 85% the size as the classics. They are smaller

Surglasses son Black o Black ICE??
i believe is the black ice
Why wouldn't recommend someone with big head, Arnold head isn't big?
They're best for someone with a medium size head, they'll work for someone with a little bit larger head.
definitely, someone with a large head will look weird with these one
