Oakley Jawbones

lloydy75

I'm thinking of getting a pair of the Jawbones for TTs and road racing this season. I have used Flak jackets, but find they do get a bit misty with a big effort even though they are an excellent all round pair of glasses.

What do people think of the vented lenses?

Cheers

got mine whilst in florida last july was a good price, i bought them as my other oakleys keep misting up and thought these would be great.unfortunatly they do still mist up, although clear quicker when you start descending, although i have had moments when they havent cleared and i have had to stop and clean them.also the lens coatings dont seem much better than the original oakly lenses, they are better but not much.overall i do find them a better fit than other ones and i am still glad i got them.

as above. but i think they are the comfiest glasses i've had and the special rubber on the arms and nose that gets stickier as it gets wetter is a good feature

Have you tried Radars ? No frame on the bottom of them to catch the warm air ?

Don't think the venting makes any difference. I don't have any Jawbones, I thought about getting a pair, tried a pair on but the fit didn't really suit me. But I have plenty of other pairs some vented some unvented and I haven't noticed any difference.

I would consider the Radar XL's for TT's, they have a larger lens which puts the frame higher up, so will not obstruct your vision if you ride in a low position.

Think it's important to try before you buy to make sure the fit is right!

Anyone know if you can buy alternative lenses for the Jaw Bones. Got myself a pair late last year and I would like some clear lenses.

Got some Radars for Xmas, wore them for the first time on Sat. Still steam up but much better than any other glasses I've worn before. Would definitely recommend.
