Alright so I am looking some oakley crowbars.  They say oakley crowbar "j" goggle. What does the j mean? And can I switch out parts on these j crowbars just like on other crowbars?
Thanks

It refers to the Asian Fit model. It will fit a little smaller than regular cbars. I'm not sure if the interchangeable parts are the same.

hey.
pw ninja wasn't entirely correct.
they are the "asian fit" but all that means is that they will have slightly more padding around the nose bridge, so compensate for asian facial structure.  most people will tell you that there is no noticeable difference.

Really? That's good to know. I was under the impression that they were also not quite as tall.

yeah the person on backcountry said more padding around the nose. I think I am just going to get some normal crowbars though seeing that I am not asian...

check out this thread i made

there really isn't a huge difference, + they're cheaper. they just have a little more padding around the nose, and people say that they can't notice a difference. on bc they're super cheap, jump on those!
