Im lookin at this jacket and I cant find out what the fuck is going on. Backcountry has it and so does Zappos, BUt they are totally different, the one from Zappos has an Oakley "O" on the chest and the others dont...Talked to both people from Backcountry and Zappos and they dont know what the fucks going on either...Can ne one shed some light on this situation?

I almost bet that there two different years. Maybe both are the standard but made in two different seasons

duuuuuuuuude

its the same jacket. if you look closely in the pics where there is no "O" it is simply not showing because the flap it is on is folded over

If you go to Ride gear they have it with some guy wearing it like zipped up, and its missing the little "O". And the guy i talked to from Backcountry said the same thing, he looked at both pictures and didnt know why theres didnt have the littles "o"s.

thats what i thought too, but then i looked closer, and both jackets were folded over right at the breast pocket...could they be different year models/different "styles" one looks like leather/cord and the other looks like normal outerwear

the first batch of those jackets were made without the "O" on the chest and the second batch sent out had em. Thats why.

they are both exactly the same...the pictures on oakleys site were taken a year before the jacket was released. you think they couldnt have added the o in a year?? the material is exactly the same. i have one for sale by the way. medium. 90 shipped takes it. brand new
