Found this pictures in a japan O store. The first one is the color that we all know. But I never saw the second one....looks really cool.

I think they're the same (the first one is XLJ); it's just that the print had much more brown than green on the second one. Thanks for the snaps. It's neat to see this variation.

Those DO look great. They look like the Japanese variants I have been seeing on eBay lately.

The print looks very similar to the Camo/Gold Trenchcoat.

anyone have any idea how they get the patterns (i.e., camouflage) onto the frames? i'm surprised that the two pairs above have different camo patterns, i assumed that every frame would have the same patterns in the same location

According to MotoJoe, they are Bass Pro Shop exclusives.

alex, last time I checked, Hungary was part of Europe.

but yes, they are a BPS exclusive. I've been there to see them.

the camo is different on every pair, like every other patterened frame from Oakley.

guess i didn't realize that about the patterned frames. any clue how they do that?

John Heins (john - 1/7/2005 11:39:19 AM)

I'm guessing some sort of dye sublimation. They'd have to have a machine that matches the contours of the frame though.
