so my friend, ..SteezusChrist. , was wondering if the Crowbar j's, the asian edition, fit the same or similar to the regular crowbars.

*i'm making the thread for him cause his computer's super slow*

I have both fits. There is actually no noticeable difference for me between the J fits and the normal crowbars.

tripple post but this is important They ship outlet to canada so i'm in luck but I was talkin to a "gearhead" im geussin he knows what hes talking about.

seth: you don't ship crowbars to canada and there is absolutely no way to get around this?
Samuel: Hey Seth
Samuel: We can ship any Oakley gear that is listed on our outlet site to Canada.
Samuel: What item # crowbars were you looking at?
seth: oh my god!
seth: your my hero
Samuel: Only older models on the outlet can be shipped though.  
seth: asian fit red crowbars for 50bucks
Samuel: what item # is that please?
seth: there on your outlet site
Samuel: The Oakley Crowbar J Goggle ?
seth: sec
seth: Item OAK2194
Samuel: ok cool!  Those are good to go!  
seth: yessssss
seth: hey quick question
seth: any diffrent between asian fit and normal fit?
Samuel: Yup.  The Asian fit goggles are a little more padded and the frame is not quite as large as the regular Crowbar.
seth: I was told there is a slight bit more foam on the nose and that is absolutely all and its hardly noticible your saying that that is not true?
Samuel: I have a pretty large face and definitely noticed a difference.  The frame is not as tall on the J goggle as with the regular Crowbar.
seth: then how do you explain a normal lense being able the fit a asian fit frame and vice versa If the Frames are diffrent sizes?
Samuel: There isn't a huge difference, I'm just saying I noticed one myself.  The lenses could still work for both frames.
seth: I know for a fact that they do so your trying to say that the frame on the asian fit is the same size just less bulky?
Samuel: Correct.  The padding around the nose is the biggest difference, but makes them sit a little differently on your face.  Maybe that's all I noticed.  They did feel different for sure.
seth: alright thanks for all your help
Samuel: You're welcome

This picture shows the difference between the asian fit crowbars vs. regular crowbars. The top pair are the regular ones. Notice the extra layer of foam around the nose in the bottom pair. That is the only difference. ALL PARTS ARE STILL INTERCHANGEABLE!

and that foam pretty much just flattens out, leaving virtually no difference. maybe a minute difference in feel, but other than that..
