I would be if he does not. Also how would I obtain frames for those other lenses?

He's taking the Aegis.
You can get replacement frames from Revision http://www.revisionmilitary.com/store/sawfly-tx-replacement-frames.html
I don't know if it would be worth it though, the whole kit is only $80 by the time you get done with the SS discount, you'd be better off just buying the kit.

Thanks bro!.
Anybody got experience with the "Smith optics"? I've used Oakley for many years, great products, highly recommend!
The ESS rep sent out some crossbow's about a year ago now with the low profile frames which are perfect for under a flight helmet, peltors or whatever your headset of choice is. Fog resistant coating on inside of lenses works well and they have stood up to the abuse well. Logged a few hundred hours of flight time and plenty of range time, schools & etc. with them and no problems.
Smith has a similar product with a metal frame you can contour to your head to some degree. I don't think you can swap out the lenses from clear to smoke and back though IIRC.

ESS fix the problem with the wire poking through the side of the frame into your head?
I'm using Wiley X XL-1's. I like how for stuff that needs it, you can throw on the goggle seal and band, but otherwise wear it as a normal set with the band/seal removed. I don't have photocromatic lenses for them yet, but I will probably give them a shot since I like not having to doff-don due to varying light conditions.
I'm not sure if they use a wire in the regular crossbow frames still I have never used them. If I'm not flying or at the range I just wear my Gascan's. The low profile frames are so slim that I highly doubt they could fit any kind of support wire in there.
If anyone is interested in the Crossbow's I can provide NSN's for them w/ & w/o the additional low-pro frames. Also contact info for a ESS & Wiley X rep if you need to get in contact with them for unit purchases, etc.

I highly recommend Oakley M frames. I've used them for years with zero issues. I picked up the array which comes in a tough as nails hard case with three lenses so i can pick the color that works best for the particular condition.
I thought M Frames only had clear ballistic lenses. The shaded ones are polarized but not ballistic. Was I mistaken all this time?
OK, they do have ballistic ones now... guess I need some new lenses for mine.

Yes.
I don't know if the yellow ones are ballistic but the polarized ones are (clear lenses came later).
That's how we justified them (pissing off all the ACC folks at Pope Airplane Patch).
Every time I see this thread get bumped it reminds me I need new glasses still. I liked my first Oakleys but of course they don't make them anymore and I don't rock the big bug eye glasses they make for women now. I may have to go to a Wiley X model of some sort since I need them to be sunglasses as well.
Next time we're in Reno and hitting up trader joes, stick your head into the optometrists office and try what they have on. They've got a decent selection of both oakleys and wiley's to give a shot. I'll haul the midget along to the comp store so you can browse uncluttered.
