I wonder if there will be any sort of switchlock feature on these?
I can't see any.
If you can peep the auction I referred to, on the inside there's two holes where where each stem meets the lens. I'm predicting a snap-in of sorts, possibly with a hooking point where then the stem pivots and effectively snaps into place — similar to Smith's Pivlock or more-so Tifosi's Podium. I think that's the only robust way to get it done while keeping the design as minimal as possible. Only other experience I had was with Rudy's Hypermask, and that uses a straight snap with some relief tabs. Really easy, and I guess minimizes stress cracks, but doesn't feel solid. It's just like "hey that was quick, but,uhh...that's it?"
I personally would've liked the Tombstone setup but more direct to where the lens clips into the stems vs. first being glued to segments. I assume cost would've been the hurdle, as well as perceived redundancy.
