wohw, thx

Those are hella funky. What's up with the port holes? I like the color combo though and the chrome nose piece is awesome. Thanks OB, I didnt know these were up there yet. Or the Flak Jacket for that matter (which according to the pic, may make baby Jesus cry).

Mhm they remind me of a Rudy Project model... but I'm not sure about the name. But actually I'm not impressed - looks not like an improvement over the mframe for me.

-> I just saw the flak sports ice and fire lenses. Nice to see that they didn't forgot these lenses. I'm still hoping for some more emerald... but it's also nice that they use gold iridium (pol.) again.

I actually handled a pair about 3 months ago...Very nice. Comfortable too...They will go over well in the sports market I think.

Damn looks like some of my money is going to go bye-bye. I like them.

Does anyone know if the standard M-frame lenses are compatible?

They have the same names, so perhaps.

The word on the street is that the lenses will NOT be compatible. Neither will Flak Jacket lenses work in HJ's. I s'pose there's something to be said for "planned obselescence."

I was told they're not compatible. Both will be available in RX, though.

Maybe so people don't swap the cheaper lenses in and try to pull a fast one.

I was told the same thing as Edwin. oh and Dan they don’t share the same lens names any more.

Meh. Not one of us could reliably say whether an M-Frame lens is black iridium or grey in most lighting conditions (don't believe me? Run to your nearest dealer and try identifying one without having the other handy) but I've never heard of people having those switched on them.

'Course, it's possible it happens a lot and the customer NEVER notices, I suppose.

I think the concern is more about people buying replacement lenses from M-Frames (which are likely to cost less than Radar lenses), and putting them into the Radars. Granted, the more enterprising fans among us will surely find a way to cut or grind them into the right shape, but it's a way to keep the average consumer from putting M's into Radars.

yup the new radar , cant wait to see how those will sell in the store

In regards to the new eyewear that is coming out soon, is the Flak Jacket what was originally supposed to be the Half Jacket 2.0, or is the HJ 2.0 a totally different beast.

Nope, HJ 2.0 became the Flak Jacket.

Dan is correct. You should not see any more sunglasses with numbers after them. After Five 3.0 they decided new sunglasses need new names or at least no numbers. Notice what we all thought would be called Square Wire 3.0 is just Square Wire on the box. (Get your SQ wire 2.0 while you can my sources say it will not be around much longer) Radar was originally M-Frame 2.0.

That sucks. About the SW 2.0 that is. Surely a classic. At the very least one of Oakley's most wearable pairs.

Def a classic, but I wouldn't say their most wearable pair. It sells well and many like it but the lenses are so shallow in height that they don't offer much coverage. Still, always sad to see the classics go.

Wow, that's one funky looking pair. I can't wait to try it though. Its good they are getting rid of numbers. I think its nice to see new names.

I do like the numbers, or revision. I think it is something different, which sets them apart from the competitors. Look even Nissan is doing it. Shift 2.0

And sad to see it goes. It was very fun and nice while it lasted.

If so that means no “Juliet 2.0”

It will die with Eye jacket 3.0, Five 3.0.

So we will never advance to the next level….

Hope they reconsider this in my opinion.

I mean how long the new square wire can be “new”

This is my humble opinion.

Will the Rx to your knowledge still retain the numbers for the different wraps.

I'm glad to see the numbers go. Don't get me wrong, when used properly, they can be appropriate and meaningful like the sub-models in the RX line or the evolutionary styles like A/E/Sq Wire or Fives. However, Oakley has not always done a good job with this.

Eye Jacket, EJ 2.0, and EJ 3.0 were completely different styles, not an evolution of the same style.

The same is true for Romeo and R2.
