I figured it was a GWP of some type but I only saw it on Ebay, and barely at that. Even the sellers just labeled it as an Employee tag, despite the differences. No other chatter on any of the boards or any other fanfare for any event or happening at least that I saw, I was just getting curious.

Hey, what are the odds someone tried to fake a dogtag?

Anyone have any info on this dog tag? It visually borrows from the Employee dog tag but is noticably smaller, a bit thicker, and has some small differences in detail. Physically is more on par with the GWP bottle opener dogtags in size and shape.

Wishing you all a very excellent New Year! Here is to hoping that all good things find us safe and sound, and that all the bad things get hopelessly lost on the way to our houses! (raises glass, chugs to health, pours another)

I asked Peter:

Heater was a reference to throwing a fastball in baseball. The rest were names associated with what was considered cool for the time or descriptive about the lens shapes themselves.

Awesome, Dann! I appreciate it!

Does anyone happen to know what inspired Oakley to chose the name Heater for the original M-Frame Heater lens shape?

I was today years old when I learned the names of the various groups of traditional battle shields such as the Kite, the Scuta, and the Iberian, among others. One of the groups is called Heater, and apparently was so popular in one variation or another that it became the most often used shield in Armorial Heraldry. I just couldn't help wondering if this was the inspiration for the name of the lens shape. It certainly wouldn't be out of character for Oakley.

But I digress. Anyone know where the name Heater comes from?

Welcome aboard!

That looks really nice!

I much prefer this new matte coloring over the older paint jobs. I'm glad they went with it on this Red Tiger series.
