Launching the New Oakley Canteen Sunglasses at Sunglasses Hut on June 1st...Check out the vids below.

Dann from O-Review helped us out with one of them...if anyone from Oakley Forum does video product reviews, has a decent following and is interested reviewing Oakley products launching in SGH send me a direct message.

First the Valve, now this. I'm sure the designers will probably say "well you just don't understand" but how do people get past the obvious shift from bold and radical to...simple and repetitive? Both of the original pairs were awesome to at least look at, but now they're looking like cookie cutter frames.
 
ok my usual annoying question How is the fit for small medium heads that the straight Jacket and Flak fit perfectly...bigger like the tends or old school wrap the colors don't thrill me as someone who can wear polarized

The fit is pretty similar; Flak frame measurements are 58/22...Canteen is 60/16. So from temple to temple you are looking at a 4mm difference. Might even fit a little bit better.
 
The fit on them is perfect for small to medium heads. They're too narrow for big heads IMO.

According to the Sunglass Hut website, they should fit similarly to the new Valve, but the Valve has a larger temple size.

Wow. This company is starting to become a joke. It takes the designer numerous attempts to get the style of a frame he's regurgitating right? What bullsh!t.

I've seen it too many times.... People go off of measurements hoping something will fit. There's nothing like physically having them in your hands to compare. I say they are better for smaller to medium heads because I am a hijinx/eyepatch/dispatch wearer. Here's a pic of the new canteen compared to an eyepatch 2.
