Dear Customers,

 

Thank you for your continued support.

 

Please note that our store will be closed for the Year-end and New Year holiday from

 

 

December 27 (Sat) to January 4 (Sun), 2026.

 


Orders will still be accepted during this time, but shipping operations will resume on January 5 (Mon), 2026.

 

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and sincerely appreciate your understanding.

 

Warm regards,
LINEGEAR

 


 


Shipping Method Update Effective December 12

 

There has been a change to our Economy shipping method.

Until now, Economy shipments were sent via Registered Mail.

 

However, going forward, they will be shipped via e-Packet Light (Japan Post), which means a signature will no longer be required upon delivery. 

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.

 

For more details regarding shipping methods, rates, and estimated delivery times, please check the information at the link below.

Hello,


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.

However, please note that the previous strike has not been fully resolved, so there may still be delays in delivery.
We appreciate your understanding.

Thank you.


 


 

Important Notice for Customers in Canada

 

Due to an ongoing strike at Canada Post, we are currently unable to ship orders to 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.

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.

下矢印

 

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.

下矢印

About the image above:

  • The upper lenses are the original Emerald Iridium.
  • The lower lenses are our newly developed Emerald lenses.

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.

New Violet Polarized lenses


Dear valued customer,

 

Thank you very much for your continued support.

We are excited to introduce our new violet hue for this lens! Unlike previous violet lenses, which featured a vibrant gradient of purple and green, this lens boasts a cooler, bluish-purple shade, exuding an exceptionally sleek and modern vibe.

Please note that this lens will be exclusively released as polarized lenses, and there are currently no plans to release non-polarized lenses.

For more information, please check the product page.

Thank you very much.

Dear valued customers,

Thank you for always choosing LINEGEAR.

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

 

LINEGEAR Blog
https://ameblo.jp/linegear05

 

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.

★Notification of Summer Holidays★

 

Dear valued customers,

 

We would like to inform you that our store will be closed for the summer holidays from August 11th to August 15th.

 

While our store will continue to accept orders during this period, please note that product shipments will resume on the next business day, August 16th.

 

We greatly appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

 

Best regards,

To Our Valued Customers,

 

Thank you for your continued support of LINEGEAR.
We would like to provide an explanation regarding shipping fees, so please take a moment to read the following information.

 

Since the onset of the Coronavirus pandemic, a reduction in flight availability has led Japan Post to suspend Economy shipping services to several countries. Additionally, due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, Standard shipping to some European regions has become unavailable.


North America:
United States, Canada

 

European Region:
United Kingdom, Germany, France

 

Asia area:
India


Due to the reasons mentioned above, Standard shipping is not possible to the aforementioned countries, and only Express shipping will be available.
Standard shipping cannot be excluded from the webshop's options due to system constraints. Therefore, even if Economy shipping is selected, the Express shipping fee will be automatically applied. Please take note of this.

 

As a solution, we have introduced a promotion "Free shipping for an orders over $150" We encourage you to take advantage of this offer. By consolidating orders, perhaps with friends, you can make cost-effective purchases.

 

While many parts of the world have transitioned to a post-pandemic normalcy, Japan continues to be impacted by various global factors. There are still restrictions in place, and we appreciate your understanding of this situation.

 

For other countries, we can ship using both Standard and Express shipping methods as usual. Shipping fees vary depending on the destination region, so please check the shipping fees from the link below before placing your order.
https://www.linegear-japan.com/page/4

 

Once Japan Post's transportation capabilities are restored, we aim to swiftly return to our regular shipping methods.

Thank you for your ongoing support of LINEGEAR.

 

Thank you for always visiting our website.

We updated the information about shipping. (Updated on April 5, 2023)

 

Because mail transportation by Japan post to various countries/territories has been disrupted due to the unstable situation in Ukraine, we can not ship items as usual to some countries.

Please check the chart below.
