Racing Jackets to be discontinued

I was emailing someone at Oakley the other day about some custom Racing Jackets, and he informed me that the Racing Jackets will soon be discontinued.

Does anyone else have info about this? Is there a replacement coming for these?
 
Ah. That makes sense. A bit weird that the Jawbreaker is the replacement though for something which has two individual lenses.
 
It really seems like they are doing away with all the older style switch lock technology also. I know the Jawbreaker incorporates a different kind, but I really did like the moving jaws and bolts.
 
If I remember right they were designed for the Tour De France so they have to change with the times

Yeah, although they seem very versatile imo, you don't see them used much in other disciplines. In preserving that intended purpose, there's no point in a split lens/full frame setup.

Sport lineup will be weird without a full frame flagship, so while the Jawbreaker may take over in some respect I'd expect a replacement.
