How do I join Oakley Standard Issue?

To join, you’ll need a valid Military, First Responder or Goverment ID or email address (such as .mil/.gov). From there you can head to the verification link here, create an account on their site https://www.oakleysi.com/en-us/register/register-si

You’ll need to validate your email after registration but overall the process should be painless!

Can non service members/government employees use a friend’s account?

According to Oakley, this is against their terms and may result in your friends account being banned from the SI program. It is well known that several websites also sell SI products on the aftermarket, so if you really want to purchase one of these items it isn’t too hard to find.

What Oakleys are included in the Standard Issue Program?

In addition to the Military Spec Oakleys offered for those in the field, the SI program has expanded in recent years to include “off duty” pairs such as Gascans, Holbrooks and more. Additionally, Oakleys NFL collection is now available on the SI site with the typical discount – a fantastic option for those football fans who qualify for the program.

Does the SI program offer Custom Oakleys?

Yes, Oakley Standard Issue has started offering Custom Oakley sunglasses. Typically, there is about a 35% discount on Custom pairs compared to the normal Oakley website. Currently they offer 11 pairs of Sunglasses to be customized:
