New Racing Jacket To Replace Jawbone (now On Website, Pics Inside!)

[Batwolf]

Just found out from my O insider that the new Racing Jacket will replace the Jawbone due to copyright infringement issues on the name. It will have the same front as the Jawbone (Jawbone lenses will be compatible) but sport new stems. This is why there was a delay of accessory parts for the Jawbone. Expect to see them in the next month or two.

UPDATE (03/14/12): It is now on the website. Oakley Racing Jacket Sunglasses available at the online Oakley store

New features include
- Interchangeable icons
- Stem strap

I didn't get details but that would be my guess.

They're similar to the Split Jacket to accept the head strap and Wind Jacket gasket.

These are all the color ways for the Asian Fit. Generally speaking they coincide with each other color wise so I would imagine these are going to be the regular fit colors as well.

Release date is supposedly 5/1/2012... We'll see if that's true or not soon enough.
