The Rolling O Lab was in town today, Raleigh, NC, and I went out to take a few pics. I work in the O-store here and had met some of the people that are driving it around before, always nice to talk to. Anyways, here are some pics of in/outside of the Lab and some of the Hijinx.

Thanks for sharing. Those are HUGE.

hijinx are huge glasses. almost to huge i was hopping that they might be around the size of the MD just for the actions shots thati have seen of the glassese but they are closer to the size of the oildrums. i do like the big "O" and i think that the vents in the "O" are diffrent.......i will just stick with diffrent.

LOVE THEM! Hope they love me. Its like a wrap around Montefrio. Looks Eyepatch sized to me so I'm hopefull they'll fit.

That is badass. Definitely a must-have.

oke people i want one of each, where do i sign for one,...

Wow, those are very big! Hopefully they make them in polished white.

Thanks for the pictures John, really appreciated, and yeah that a big frame, wont fit me well with the shape and all...

So let me guess, we'll never see them in Blue like that.

love it , want one

i hope so that blue is very cool.

Very cool...look pretty big too...

Those Icons are so sweet! I just wanna squeeze play-doh through em

do they whistle when you run real fast?

very nice, cool pics too, cheers

sadly I didn't get a chance to try it on though the others from the store that came out to visit are all dying to have a pair. No word yet on if this will be a color way or not.

Thanks John for the giving us a good look at it.

Now that someone has posted pictures of the hijinx I can post my own.

Here is a quick shot I took of a famous guy wearing an acid green Hijinx with warm grey lenses:




But seriously, cool pics of the testing. Those things are DAMNED huge though. Then, I suppose most people said that about the Trench Coat.

Meh, different strokes and all that;-)
