I can see a lens chop for these in the future......

Jared is right if you go into a store and ask nicely most people won't refuse to let you see/feel/buy the new Factory Lite. I have all of my off the sales floor but I have regulars that have known about them and if they ask I'll gladly show them prior to the 20th. So far I've only gotten two Brushed Aluminum w Ice polarized and two Matte Black w Black Iridium polarized.

Just seen the matte black pol and silver and ice pair. They are sexy as hell and feel extremely well built. I didn't care how they fit my face so I don't know if I'll be buying, wish the matte black had the OO red ird in them then I would buy them just to look at

Just stopped by SGH and took a look myself. The frames feel very strong and sturdy and I love the look but, like Crazysteve, they didn't fit my face very well. One thing I noticed, however, was it looks like the nose piece is removable as it's attached to the frame with a tiny philips screw. That makes me wonder if there are plans for a larger "Asian fit" nose piece at some point.

Here are the rest of the photos I took of them too. That's the inside of the Matte Black.

Any word on availability in Canada?

 

[Sharpdub00]

I would assume the Canadian SGH stores would get them as well since its a big deal for them. Though I could be wrong. OakleyJared may have a better answer to that question than me,

How much are they? $ 280?
Bad design what I can see on the pics!
Looks like frame and arms do not belong together.

Here is a better angle for the temple. It lets you see how the frame and dual hinge work together. The small (1/8th of an inch if that) gap lets the frame have a natural flex with the dual shock hinge rather than using a traditional spring. I've been wearing them all day and the hinge has enough flex to feel comfortable without being loose and falling off the top of your head like a spring hinge. I would definitely stop by and give them a look and try before writing them off, I'm a fan but as all frames they may not float everyone's boat.

I wonder if the release dates are the same...
