Half X compared to Carbon Blade?

[Kurocarbon]

Hello all.

I am considering picking up a Half X as my next XM purchase.

I own a Carbon Blade and as I was driving home tonight I realized they look similar in design.

Does anyone have both To compare?

I am curious how similar or different they are in terms of size (lens depth and width).

Thanks!

Completely different pair of glasses.... I like the carbon blade better myself.

Thanks. I like the look of the Half X and the Carbon Blade fits me fine (except eyebrow smudges) so I wanted to know if the Half X had a similar fit.

What would you say is completely different about them besides materials?

The hinge system on the half x this prone to fail..... And from what I understand you cannot get OEM lenses for those..... So unless you get custom cut, you're stuck with the lenses on those frames.

Linegear makes Half X lenses. Their NB10 is a ringer for original Ice. I find my Half X to be the most comfortable to wear as they are one of if not the lightest of the X-metals and the spring hinge makes for a great fit.
