Many thanks to Rustpot for helping me with the last lens shape that I needed. Figured I'd do a quick comparison shot at once so you can get the actual differences.
Yeah, not sure what happened with that. I know Multicam is a protected pattern and requires licensing, maybe Oakley didn't know that, or decided to drop the line for some other reason.
Actually I remember now. I was waiting for the Multicam Assault Goggle 2.0, which never came, and then in the mean time the M Frame disappeared. The Patriot Outfitter site above says they should be back in stock 1/14 though. Guy at HQ said they should too.
Sorry to bump this old thread but I do have a question regarding M Frames. I was back in Canada a few weeks ago helping my parents downsize and move house. I came cross an old pair of M Frames - 2nd Gen (raised O insignia) crystal black with red iridium Strike frames. These were my old baseball glasses and I loved wearing them. They slipped into disuse with the frequent shoulder problems I was having and the lack of baseball as a result.
The frame is still in decent enough shape but the lens is quite beaten up. I'd dearly like to get a new lens for them so I could start wearing them again. I've never had a pair of sunglasses fit so well and they are far more comfortable for sports activities than the Fast Jackets that I currently own. I recently called Oakley UK and they weren't clear on whether or not I could use new M Frame lenses in these older frames. Someone said something about using an M2 Frame. I would like to know if I can still get lenses for this style or are they going to be resigned to another storage box!
Unless its one of the very early releases (and since its a strike, it should be fine) modern m frame lenses will work. The M2 will also sort of fit modern m frames but since the vintage ones are a bit more fragile, I wouldn't risk that.
Thank you Dann. I think I bought them in 1993 and Oakley sent me a replacement frame in 1995 when it broke in half. I'll be heading in to the Oakley Store in Covent Garden next week and I hope that they'll have what I need in terms of lenses.
That's almost the same setup as my first pair... which I also wore for baseball. My frames were carbon fiber, but seeing these brings back the memories.
The Slash seemed to be use more often for Basketball since it was the largest, and had the ventilation and thick foam to keep sweat out of their eyes. The rest didn't seem to be sport specific, and was more for personal preference.
