Center/orbitals are O-Matter (plastic)
The hinge/icon area is aluminum. I personally don't like it when it's colored black.
Trailing end of the stems is carbon fiber wrapped/bonded to Unobtainium

For reference on sizing @QLR1 can rock these pairs. Granted, he's got selfie genetics, but he generally goes for bigger frames.

They can work for wider faces. As Ventruck said, I prefer the larger frames. These barely fit, but they work. Check out my selfie in this thread. Collection took one step forward

Selfie genetics? Awww! Thank you.

I waited long time for a new sporty sunglasses and this new Carbon Shift seems similar my favorite Straight Jacket look. Streamline and not so invasive as dimensions like Scalpels or Tens.
Price make it very exclusive, I hope Oakley will make a cheaper O-Matter version, would be really nice.

PS: Compared to Scalpel or Jackets, how do CS fit? Ty

The Carbon Shift already is the cheaper version, of the SF16-C. And its orbitals are o-matter already.

Yeah, the price is out there, for sure. But if you look around, you can get a deal. I certainly hope they don't come out with a cheap version of these. I hate they have tons of cheaper fare out there already. I don't want all expensive items, but they shouldn't have a high priced and a budget version of the same item.

Can't comment on the fit of the 2 frames that you have mentioned.

Cheaper version I mean like Triggerman compared to the Badman. In Italy CF cost not less than 340$.
Maybe there're people that wouldn't spend too much or prefer simpler versions.

Right, but you have the full-price SF16-C for $2K (allegedly, hasn't been released yet).

Then there's this cheaper Carbon Shift in the $300 range.

So you want a cheaper version of the cheaper version?

Unfortunately I believe you're gonna be SOL with that one.

Just a few shots of my new Carbon Shift's that arrived today.

Delighted with them, they fit beautifully which is good as it was a bit of a gamble ordering without trying first, and I have a bit of a large head too haha.

Brilliant shades!
