Just wanted to acknowledge and document the new "no wear" cam hinge in the research section. Nice pic of it on oakley.com and apparently a key component of the "Hollowpoint Collection". I like the idea of no wear and no future adjustment requirements on Wires. Let's see how they perform.

Heart and soul of the site right here. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to pick one up.

Finally was able to check out the Toncan and Tinfoil last week. The hinge was actually my favorite thing on the pairs. Great movement and feel to it. And I really like that barrel look.

That looks very cool. The hinge has the old school industrial looks that I like so much, can't wait to get some pairs in my hands.

The TinCans had these, very smooth. Cool design and function - I like it a lot... It was a shame that that was the only part of the TinCan that I really liked, they had to go back (Ferrari TinCans, specifically)

Suppose the only good news is that there is a high chance these hinges will be standard on most future wires. Then it's just a matter of finding a nice design.

I have a few as tags for db models, but I need to add the rest. I saw some of those new ones, but wasn't quite sure if they were new names for existing ones.

Cam and FlagCam are the same I believe. (99% sure)

I've seen Latch included on other hinges as well. Seems to be a secondary feature that several models can possess.

I’d love to figure out the recent change of cam names. Back in 2017 (and many years prior), most O Matter frames had what they called “integrated cam” hinges. Sometime in 2018, they changed to “flag cam”. I’d love to figure out the difference and why the name changed one day. Carbon Shift had spring cam as well.

Does Carbon Prime have its own designation

"Flag" cam?! Why call it "flag?"

I think they periodically re-categorize things to screw with Dann. :D

So I can wrestle with the decision to name things historically or in current terms.

I'm guessing that's the industry standard name for that type of hinge and LUX changed the terminology so it was easier for Reps to explain to accounts (and for reps of multiple LUX brands to remember)

But why even use the term "flag?" What's "flag"about the hinge design?

A flag hinge often looks like a flag swivelling on a pole, with the leaves roughly in line with the pin. Often the leaves are 'stacked' on top of each other on the pin instead of closing on each other like a book. This means they can rotate a full 360 degrees in relation to each other (like a flag can point in any direction around a pole). Whether Oakley flag cam/hinges work like this or not, that's probably where the name comes from.
