Thank you for your continued support of LINEGEAR.
We would like to inform you that we will be ending our free shipping promotion, which has been available on orders of $150 or more.
We will be introducing a new discount system as follows:
We are offering a $12 discount on orders with a total shopping cart value of $150 or more.
This discount can be combined with your existing member discount.
To receive this discount, simply enter the coupon code DC150PR at checkout. This offer is available to all registered members.
Please note that this offer is exclusively for registered members and does not apply to non-members.
Recently, shipping-related costs have increased, particularly for shipments to the United States and EU countries. These costs include shipping fees and customs duty declaration and processing fees, resulting in significant differences in shipping costs depending on the destination.
Taking these factors into consideration, we have decided to introduce a new discount system to ensure that all customers can enjoy fair and equal discounts, regardless of their location.
We sincerely appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
We will continue doing our best to ensure that your orders are shipped quickly and smoothly.
Thank you for your continued support of LINEGEAR!

Thank you for your continued support of LINEGEAR.
Due to changes in Japan Post’s handling of shipments to the United States, advance payment of import duties and other applicable charges, along with advance customs declaration procedures, is now required for orders shipped to the U.S.
As a result, LINEGEAR will collect applicable import duties (12.5%) and other charges at checkout for U.S.-bound orders and introduce revised shipping rates that include the associated declaration processing fees.
We understand that these changes may increase your costs, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding as these measures are necessary for us to continue shipping to the United States.
Economy Shipping: US$13.50
Standard Shipping: US$32.50
The shipping rates above include the processing fees associated with advance customs declaration procedures.
At the request of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), advance declaration registration became necessary for applicable postal shipments to the United States starting October 15, 2026.
The scope of shipments subject to these requirements has expanded. For example, certain gifts sent between individuals valued at US$100 or less, which were previously exempt from advance declaration registration, are now also subject to registration requirements.
Affected shipments must be registered in advance through a designated service. Import duties and other applicable charges must be prepaid where required, and shipments must be sent using labels displaying the required declaration registration number.
To comply with these changes, LINEGEAR is updating its shipping rates and the way import duties and other applicable charges are collected for orders shipped to the United States.
Thank you for your understanding and for your continued support of LINEGEAR.

Our Non-Polarized Cardinal Red lenses are back in stock and now available for purchase.
Starting with this latest batch, the base lens color has been changed to brown, similar to Oakley’s Fire Iridium lenses.
With the brown base, the lenses now have a slightly warmer appearance, with more orange and gold tones.
The color of this latest batch is closer to the later versions of Oakley Fire Iridium, with a slightly brighter appearance, less orange, and more gold. Please check the product images to see the actual lens color.
If you prefer the polarized version, we also offer Cardinal Red Polarized lenses. Please see the product below.

Your package will be delivered directly to your mailbox, and tracking will be available.
For Standard Shipping (EMS), a signature will still be required upon delivery, just as before.
There are no changes to the shipping fees.

Thank you for your continued support of LINEGEAR.
Japan Post has resumed accepting packages bound for Canada, so from today we are able to accept orders from Canada as usual.

Important Notice for Customers in Canada

【Important Notice Regarding Shipments to the United States】
Thank you very much for using our services.
On July 30, 2025, the U.S. government announced a Presidential Executive Order titled “Termination of De Minimis Treatment for All Countries.”
As a result of this measure, postal items and packages addressed to the United States may be subject to stricter customs procedures and additional duties, which could cause delays and disruptions in delivery.
Relevant authorities and shipping carriers are currently reviewing their response to this new regulation. Until the situation stabilizes, deliveries to the United States may take longer than usual.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and kindly ask for your understanding.
We will provide further updates as soon as more information becomes available.
Thank you.

Upcoming Restock of Gold Mirror Polarized Lenses (Improved Version)
Thank you for choosing LINEGEAR.
We are currently in the process of improving our Gold Mirror Polarized Lenses.
Starting with the next batch, we will be changing the base lens color to brown, making them a better functional alternative to Oakley’s Gold Iridium lenses.
This adjustment will bring the specifications closer to those of Oakley’s Gold Iridium.
The lenses are currently out of stock, but we expect to restock around July 2th.
At the same time, we will also be restocking the Turquoise Blue Polarized Lenses, which are currently sold out.
We appreciate your patience and continued support.
JULIET Plasma / Emerald Sample Lenses Have Arrived!
Release Date: December 5th
Hello, everyone!
Let me introduce our new product, the "Emerald" lens.
We’ve received many requests to create lenses in the same color as Emerald Iridium. While there were several opportunities to move forward with production, global events like COVID-19 and the Ukraine conflict heavily impacted LINEGEAR’s operations, delaying the product's development.
However, we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve finally been able to create it.
Recently, the samples arrived.
ジュリエット用にカットしてみました。
In the image below, the upper JULIET features the original Emerald Iridium lenses, while the lower JULIET shows the Emerald lenses we’ve developed at LINEGEAR.
The official release is planned for December 5th.
Here’s some additional information:
When you hear "Emerald," you might think of the Ichiro model. While the lenses on the Ichiro model are indeed Emerald, they are technically called Emerald Slate.
Although similar to the regular Emerald Iridium lenses found on Plasma JULIETs, the base lens transmission rates are different:
Emerald Slate (Transmission rate: 25%) - Features a slightly lighter base lens.
Regular Emerald Iridium (Transmission rate: ~10%) - Found on Plasma JULIETs.
The mirror color is identical, but the transmission rates set them apart.
When deciding on the transmission rate for our new lenses, we considered whether to align with the Ichiro model or the regular Emerald lenses. Ultimately, we opted for a balance, setting the rate at approximately 14%.
These lenses feature a robust mirror coating that prevents visibility of the eyes, but they are about 4% brighter than the original Emerald lenses.
We hope this explanation provides clarity.
About the image above:
Additionally, we’ll also be producing polarized lenses this time! This means we’ll offer both regular Emerald lenses and polarized Emerald lenses. The material used will be polycarbonate.
Please look forward to them, and thank you for your continued support!

Suspension of International Mail to Israel and Libya
Due to the recent worsening situation in Israel and Libya, along with the suspension of flights, Japan Post has currently halted all deliveries to these countries.
As a result, we have also been forced to suspend orders from Israel and Libya starting in September. We will resume once the situation improves, and we kindly ask affected customers for their understanding and patience.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
Thank you.

We are currently in the process of translating LINEGEAR's blog into English to create an English version.
LINEGEAR Blog

Originally written in Japanese for our Japanese customers, we believe that the content is worth sharing with our international audience.
We are gradually translating and publishing English versions of the blog posts. We will continue to release more translations in the future, so please stay tuned.
We are using the Ameba platform, which may make some parts of the display appear in Japanese and potentially challenging to read for English speakers.
However, please note that the blog articles themselves are all translated into English. We invite you to take a look.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
