Is the older straight jacket actually a different size or just sans metal icons (like the difference in the old/new eye jackets)? It looks bigger in pics but that can be decieving.

The older is a little boxxier and the newer a little rounder. I do think the older is a bit bigger.

It's a bit taller and the stems seem a little flatter. I believe the old SJ used the old O Matter, so the New SJ should be stronger.

Gotcha, just wondering if I got an older pair, they would be different. Thanks.

Speaking of old vs new straight jackets...
I was wondering if the new SJ earsocks will work on old SJ's. Anyone ever try it? Of course I called Oakley HQ and whoever I talked to didn't have a clue but they are sending me a free pair to try out anyway. Gotta make my Bengal SJ's look nice and pretty!

if memory serves me correct, the new sj sox are shorter in height and more round. they may stretch, I doubt they will look good.old ones are more rectangular being flat and tall, whereas the new re cylindrical...

You're right. The new SJ earsocks are rounder and less tall. Do you know where a guy can get a pair of discontinued earsocks? Anybody, anybody? Am I on a fool's errand?

The old SJ's fit pretty tight on my head, whereas the new SJ's i tried in the store fit my comfortably. My old pair snapped by the arms, but unfortunately they never made an electric mustard in the newer version or else i would've bought a pair
