Here ar ethe 7 original Sub Zero Frames. Shortly after this Frames 1-3 were replaced with frames 1N-3N, which lost the lower orbital to give them rounder lenses. Each has it's own number for identification (color/lens combo), not for size or shape like in the Zero family.







In the Catalogue/Reviews section Dann, you should just list Sub Zero and then have the 7 combos.

A gold iridium model did replace #2. Blue Iridium #4 is Planet X though the photo shows almost a Cobalt frame.

When the Zero family was released they phased out the Sub Zero and replaced it with 0.6. They kept a few of the same color combos and took away the number system. The lens was now wider, available in clear colors and the earstems now had fangs to match the rest of the Zero line. For a while there was a 0.6 N2T available which was the original Sub Zero lens with the fangs stems.



available color combos in 1996:




Since it's hard to read the combos, 0.6 color combos as follows:
Sleet/Black
Burn Brush/Gold
Carbon Fiber/Clear
Carbon Fiber/Persimmon
Planet X/Black (N2T)
Planet X/+Red
Planet X/Blue (I have seen these in person)
Cobalt/Blue (I have only seen these listed in the brochures)

Great pics Phil, finally get all the numbering systems. That 0.6 N2T was madness: Planet X, etched lens, and fangs - awesome. If they could only bring them back (I always wanted the 0.3P) with better arms (though the recent Zero line is a great replacement).

The 'P' designation on the Zero line means all Iridium, no matte, right? (see 0.2P/0.2 and 0.3P/0.3, excepting 0.5 which I guess had no matte version)

So here's a quiz: what do P and N2T stand for? (P=Polished?)

The 0.4s in +Red had no matte either. I was never sure what the P stood for. Or N2T.

It's the 0.4, then the 0.4 Squared, then 0.4 Squared Small. Check your email.

Thanks. All should be updated now. I merged the Sub Zero's together as well as the reviews. I tagged the numbers onto the reviews, to denote which one went with which color.

Spectacular! We just need to figure out the 1N and 2N now. One of them is the Gold combo that was available and the other is a Black combo, they both have the rounded lens to match the +Red 3N. I have a binder of catalogs at home that I believe has the Gold one. I'll look tonight.

Did the #N's match the same color combo, since the ordinal's were color specific to begin with.

I don't know if I have Joker. That was one of the last EJs made and my Manuals are from the earleir releases. Same with Smoke. On of the last combos. Smoke was like Black Gold, Moss, Corten, Red Line... Just Gray. Joker was a brighter green along the same lines. Very similar to Moss. I will look through some old catalogs and see what I have though.

I do have FMJ Copper. I don't know if that was ever even released.

No, I am not sure they ever were available. They are featured in the very first Eye Jacket brochure and then never again. Wasn't there a Copper Minute though?
