Thought I would just share this, since I kept getting different answers on how different the Asian fit Flak Jackets are compared to the standard fit. Some people, including Oakley reps, told me the only difference is in the nose bombs.
I recently got a pair of Flak Jackets. Turned out not to be a great fit for me, even with the larger nose bombs installed. I then ordered an Asian fit Flak, and even though the difference is minor, it makes a big difference in feel.
Here is a picture showing the difference. Standard fit on the left, Asian fit on the right. Both have the XLJ lenses (different tints though).
As you can see, the curvature of the face is flatter on the Asian fit. This results in the ear stems feeling less tight on the temples, and the ear tips have greater distance between them.
Another pic...
The same lenses will fit both frames though.
Hopefully this clears it up for those who are unsure of whether the Asian fit Flak Jacket has a different frame than the standard fit.
