If you haven't seen this glass in person, it is awesome! Similar style to the Frogskin, but with a slight wrap, acetate frame and a little bit smaller. Great color also.

I've seen them yesterday. I like the red one, with Red Iridium?

have not seen that one yet, but the Supreme Frogskin looked good, so hopefully it will look as good.

I wrote up the first review for those interested.

A great pair of glasses for sure.

Got to try on the Jupiter for a while yesterday, and I agree with Phil; what a great pair of sunglasses, suprisingly. The LX didn't seem to fit me right but the other ones did. The 24k pair was incredible. I can't wait for the clear/violet ones to hit. Have a look the next time you're at your OPD.

great review phil ! that's what this site is all about

I just wanted to pull this back up and sing the praise of the Jupiter.
I started with the brick red Jupiter LX and have now found a deep obsession with the entire Jupiter (omatter) collection. Not only are there a great collection of colors there are also a ton of possibilities mixing & matching different frame/lens/icon/hinge combo's. Here are my 4 fav that Oakley did not give us =)

Polished black frame - violet lens, Icon & hinge

Matte black frame - 24K lens, Icon & hinge

Polished white frame - grey lens, polished black Icon & hinge

Polished clear frame - black iridium lens, matte black Icon & hinge

I have 3 now as well since that first post above: Brick Red LX, Crystal Red and Crystal Clear regular. The LX are great, but the acetate and large hinges makes them tight. The O-Matter frames are much more forgiving and have a nice amount of flex. Knowing I swapped around Montefrios, I could def see me swapping around these, Make Polished Black/Violet. I am aching to see one proposed release with a blue frame.

I checked out a few various pairs of these in both versions and even though they are probably a great beach or skater style, and looked good on my face, they really don't fit my usable style. I already get weird stares walking from my car to my work building when I accidentally leave one of my non-conservative styles in my car from the weekend. :p

Phil; awesome review. Very detailed and insightful.

I love those custom swaps there, Paul. Especially the first two pairs. That Matte and 24K look sick! And As much as I love the Polished/Violet, I know Dawn would totally flip over it!

I tried on the Jupiter; haven't seen an LX in my area yet. I liked the Jupiter, but feel like it might be just a little too large. Hopefully the LX is better.
