Why 3 vs Why 8

["TRUMP"]

Optical engineering without boundaries, this rimless eyewear offers a wide-open vista in three optional lens shapes. It uses X Metal, a titanium alloy to retain its precision optics in a comfortable three-point fit. The earstems carry soft Unobtanium earsocks that increase grip with perspiration. Plutonite lens material maintains durable protection against harmful UV rays. Prescription ready.

So whys are xmetals?

I'll be damned

Just not a lot of X metal
Certainly not enough to be as durable as a proper X metal frame.

Hell if I know. Every other titanium sunglass frame they made is not xmetal.....I had no clue the Why's were!

Why 8 arrived today, I like these frames. Very minimalist. Given how visible the screws are on Why 3 I'm having second thoughts about them. Maybe if one pops up at a bargain price, but they're going on the back burner for now.

Congrats on the why 8, it’s a really cool frame

Looking for Nanowire 2.0 to go with it now
There's an ideal one in the states, but shipping and taxes alone are $62.51.
