New oakley visor

Recommended Posts

I also saw a number of those visors last year, we have an ECHL team here and almost all the players had those. I also looked for it and couldnt find it

It's been out. It's the shield Oakley sued Jofa over. The settlement was for THC/RBK to distribute Oakley.

It's referred to as the "New" or Oakley 2.0.

did the jofa have the vents at the top like 2.0s?

I like the 2.0s I have, the vents are just annoying though.. it kinda makes me look like a bug because of the weird shape

2.0 gives great vision, but dislike the distance from the visor itself to your head. Way too much space to get e.g. a stick up under there...

Use the Itech Pro Wave, and it sits alot closer, but vision and fog-resistence is great on both products.

What ever happened tothis visor? My friend got one from a pro team, but I never saw them at the retail level. Was it a pro only visor?

Yes, that was a pro only visor available mostly at the ECHL level. It is basically a modified version of the Jofa Image/Oakley 2.0 visor, a side mount version without the vented top mount hardware. It is also shaved down a bit, a feature appreciated by some pros who are only wearing the visor because the league requires it.

The retail 2.0 is a nice visor, but the coverage from the side mounts is in a weird shape and then dips pretty low down your face. You also can't really adjust the distance the visor sits from your face.

There's something about that visor that makes me think of the new Jofa 1C visor below. I know it's not the same one, but it somehow resembles it a little.
