Vintage Oakley Snowboard/Ski Jacket with Removable Goggle Wipe
Oakley · Clothing & Accessories > Outerwear > Jackets & Coats
Era / Decade
Late 2000s to Early 2010s (approx. 2008-2012); based on the iconic bold 'O' chest patch and the specific color blocking aesthetic common in that era's snowboarding gear.
Material
Likely 100% Polyester or Nylon shell with GORE-TEX or Oakley Hydrogauge technology. Features taped seams, heavy-duty zippers, and a technical micro-fiber lens cloth attached inside the pocket.
Condition
Excellent. The colors remain vibrant without visible UV fading. The heat-pressed logo patch shows no peeling, and the goggle wipe is still attached, which is often lost.
Demand Level
Strong/Niche. Demand peaks dramatically in late fall and winter. There is a specific secondary market for 2000s-era 'techwear' and vintage snowboarding gear.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
Low: $85, Mid: $135, High: $185+ (depending on size and regional demand)
Estimated Retail Value

Comparable Sales

Description

Includes a fixed hood with brim, zippered chest and hand pockets, and a signature 'Oakley' bold block logo on the chest. Designed for performance with weather-resistant materials and internal storage for gear maintenance.
Key Features
High brand recognition; retro-vintage appeal for the 'old school' snowboard aesthetic; includes a functional tethered goggle wipe; vibrant orange/grey colorway is highly visible and stylish; robust tech-heavy construction.
Authenticity Indicators
