You're asking the wrong question.

The fundamental answer is, they were going to call it "Rough Trade Elmo," but the guys over at Standards & Practices nixed the idea, and asked for a resubmission.

Actually, my RE01-R's have lasted much much longer than my friend's (WillieGee) Star Specs-at least double.
Similar usage, track days and heat cycling? And how are they with small amounts of standing water (yay for ruts on all the major freeways around Seattle)?

I have about 12k miles currently (4 track days/7autocrosses/1 Dragon trip) on mine- WillieGee has less track days/couple more autox's than me & same amount of Dragon runs). They are excellent in the rain (1 of the track days was at Sebring in the rain).
