Grabbed the Latch Alpha (flash sale right now)

[KarlBlessing]

Been wanting to get the Latch Alpha but not for 300+

Right now the light gunmetal one with the polarized prizm Sapphire are 50% off and my local vault has them in stock, so picking those up soon as my flight gets back to grand rapids.

I like the unobtainium on the flak so curious to get a feel for the entire temple being made of them.

Yep and they were available online as of yesterday. Though I did a store pickup at my local vault and just happened to be the last pair they had in store.

Shame it doesn't look like there are any lens you can buy for them.

Love the frame but my head was too big for them unfortunately

They are a tad snug, a millimeter less and they'd be too tight.

By comparison the Holbrook XL, Flak 2.0 xl (which is just a bigger lens not frame) fit more comfortably.

I think I got a pair or 2 from THESHOW on here for a killer price... I like them but they seem too narrow on me.

Seems like we need them to release a Latch alpha XL.

Yup .. but my luck it would be xl lenses and not wider...

Decided to get some closer pictures of the Latch Alpha I still have (especially if someone hasn't seen the texture/details in person and are curious).

I don't mind the frames still, but wish I had something other than Sapphire for the lens, it's still kind of a 'meh' lens to me compared to the lenses I like (Trail, Deep Water, Tungsten, Shallow Water, etc).

You could always try and get a lens cut for them!? Depending on how the base curve is Im sure @Chris A Hardaway could make it work!

Crossrange XL and Holbrook XL lenses might be a good donor . Maybe even a standard holbrook lens.

My favorite was the black frame that had Prizm ruby polarized. My dad wears them all the time
