Newbie With M Frame Question

[mpmcgaughey]

That's what I love about this forum. Real honest, factual feedback.^^^


Thanks again and Happy New Year everyone.

There is one lense that fits the M-Frame's that is larger then the Heater though ;o)

The Slash is a wearable lens that's bigger than the Heater. It's just vented like crazy and hasn't been made in 15 years though.

I would actually love Oakley to make a new eye shield. Something that looks like a flight helmet shield that isn't a pair of goggles.

You know, something like these

I actually don't like the Radars as much. The nose bridge arm is much more visible than the nose piece in a Heater lens on the M Frames.

I would venture a guess and say the M-Frame 2.0 would work better for Lance than the Radar in the picture above. The M-Frame arms are more flexible and the 2.0 frame sits a lot flatter than the Radar does. Although those prototypes don't appear to be as wide as normal Radars, and there's no hole in the stem.
