The Field Jacket does indeed feel a bit less to touch, but it's been my go-to pair lately The Advancer feature can be practical for ventilation or manipulating fit.
The Flight Jacket was also good, but strictly for cycling. A Radar with the Advancer feature is a bit weird given that it's a bottomless frame design.
I guess Oakley designed this Radar with a taller lens and then during some testing found out that the taller lens was fogging up easily when using it for cycling. So the Advancer was placed to have the ability to prevent the lens from fogging up. So now we have this new model coming up. We would probably never know if this scenario was the case but it seems to make sense to me.
