Yes to the Triggerman and the Brook. I think you should get some Brooks. It would be a new look for you.

I think so, too. And there are so many options.

Ok, I went to my local SGH to try on 2 of the new frames. The Triggerman is definitely a yes, the Catalyst is a no. I was surprised I was able to get them on my face.

If you're on the fence for the Holbrook try the Sliver. Similar size, but more forgiving fit, and softer lines.

The Sliver gave me the same on the fence feeling. I guess I will just take the plunge on one of them one of these days.

Sliver would be good and if you go with the Sliver F you get the cool case.

I believe the F is a few mm more narrow and has shorter stems. Didn't fit me as nice as the standard Sliver.

Oh, wasn't aware there was a difference. I have a Sliver F, never tried a standard Sliver.

I'll be picking up more Sliver when deals pop up, might get an F for fun. My Uranium/Violet Polarized pair is a sweet set, but I like a lot of the frame colors in the Sliver. Sepia, Matte Brown Tortoise, Matte Black, Matte Clear.
