Oakley Speed Jacket Sunglasses

[SMman]

Nice case. They aren't listed on Oakleyforces.ca yet so Canada must be late to the game.

More like the Shocktube and Flak Jacket

That's crap! Guess the idea fairy got shot dead eh

Id buy the case alone. Just like the tombstone and m frame alpha it won't be available as a stand alone.

Just found the other options on oakley.com just not on OakleySI.com

The O Icon looks like fish scales on the deep and shallow water frames. These don't come with the cool array case though.

Most on backorder until 11/15 which is when the next drop is that includes the new Black Prizm lense.

Someone tell me if they're bigger than Flaks. I'd love a bigger half frame that isn't a wobbly Radar. Flak 2.0 is borderline too small for me.

WTF?!?!!? Can't get over that price.

Listing earlier had me curious. Apart form that, I think the only hint of release we had was the trademark a few months back. Oakley's been sleeping on a lot of promotions.

Although I like the idea for the swap mech, too much going against this pair. Price, lens selection to really even make use of the swap mech, and realistically only ideal for full coverage helmet applications. Considering the Fast Jacket, which had a wider selection and came with two lenses for less money, ended up being discontinued sooner than later, I'm not sure where Oakley believes they can go with this, especially with the lack of promotion.

As it is, Shocktubes at $180 were questionable when more functional M-Alphas cost less. Maybe this is all drawing to the possibility that these SI pairs are simply produced in lower volumes — lower than usual for an SI pair.

Someone hit their head and was thinking what can we do with a Flak 2.0?

"...Come on, design group! Go have lunch with the Marketing geeks and make them juuust different enough so we can re-name them as a brand new model!"

ugh.
