I'll see what I can do with assault boots.

I just did that today actually, but if you can expand upon it, please do. I split up the page as well due to all the images.

Thats Cool Dann, the other difference are that Gen 2 has: Gusseted Tounge, New low friction lining, doesn't have the red triangle that the Gen 1 consumer boot had and is slightly narrower overall.

2 variation suggestions, under lenses, the fact that HI Blue is being phased out to HI Yellow, and the old HI Yellow is now just Yellow.

Can also mention Ti Iridium lacking etching on new lenses.

Good ones, I'll add them.

Quick update Dann, good job. I was actually referring to the standard Ti Iridium, completely forgot about Ti Clear and etching. I haven't verified it, but know that a lot of the Ti MD replacement lenses we've gotten in the store have been missing etching.

2 generations of Raw Hatchets.. one with the unfinished "raw" appearance, Gen 2 with the smooth Mercuryish finish.

Here's a pic of Gen 2:



I imagine someone else with a better camera can probably improve on that.

I searched on variations but couldn't find the following one. Sorry if this has already been discussed.

On the square wire 2.0 without spring hinges I have some where the orbital screws are near the nose bridge like this:





and others which have the screw near the earstem like this:



I much prefer the second one because on the ones with the screws near the nosebridge you can clearly see where the two ends of the orbital meet up.

I'm reasonably sure they're not fakes but would very much like to hear if anyone else has some like them. Thanks!

I'll have to check mine at home and see which it falls under.

I think that is what the O calls a rolling change. Part way through production they see something that needs changed and they change it with out any warning or change to part #.

I've been browsing the collections of other members and I've seen one or two others with the screws on the nosebridge.
I've also noticed that the orbitals of my T wire 2.0 are fastened the same way.
So it seems a legitimate (early) variation. Don't know how it got by Bong though LOL

I know my T Wire is fastened on the other side, but I figured that was due to the frame difference or something. I know the lenses aren't compatible.
