Two new signature KM pairs. The HSTN is super nice the Latch Panel....not so much.

Latch panels grew on me. Essentially it’s a Sutro Sweep Lite, but with a full rim and more coverage with the “blinders”. I hated them at first, but over 2 months time I tried them on over and over again, ultimately leading to me purchasing the Mbappé signature pair. While I feel the “latch” part is gimmicky and somewhat out of place with this model…I can say with certainty I love the amount of coverage and fit of this style. Essentially it’s a luxury Sutro Sweep Llite with full frame. Loving it thus far….
 
As for the BISPHAERA, I’m not sure what the audience is…it is essentially a wider (frame wise) flak 2.0 XL. I don’t know how much you can improve on the perfection of a flak 2.0, but hey, it’s here…time will tell. On the flip side, when viewing the Sphaera, I thought “well what more does this provide”…. Essentially a visor with amazing peripheral, but I see the changing of lenses on the fly as the downside. Either way, I am still considering the Sphaera, for the sake of peripheral and functionality.
 
I've seen both in person already. I don't care for the shape of the Latch panel, personally- they don't fit my face. They look cool though. HOWEVER- I really like the HSTN and it looks awesome in this guise. Do like.
