Today to decide, help! - Matte Black or Livestrong Jawbones

Hitby

I'll be wearing them both on and off the bike

Matt black -

or Livestrong -

Matt black.

Mainly because I think yellow is a hideous colour!

+1 for the Matt Black, according to CRC both are around €200, however if it was me i'd be desperately searching for an extra €50 to buy the Photochromic versions...

Hitby

That kind of defeats the point of the jawbone doesn't it?

PXR5

well yes it does, but then that depends on wether or not you are really going to use the interchangeable lenses or you just like the design idea/style - i've had a pair of half jackets for years and never once changed the lenses, other than the first day just to see if it worked - plus the photochromics apparently work really well and adapt quickly.

I like the "mechanics" behind the jawbone design - clever idea making it easy to change lenses - but I would probably choose the photochromic advantage - as they say you pays yer money and you makes yer choice...

Hope you like whichever ones you choose...

Hitby

thanks,
I will change the lenses regularly I'd imagine, I ride a lot in woods as well as on the road.

I have some as new jawbones for sale in mtb classifieds if you are interested.

get them to match your bike.

I went for the Livestrongs in the end. I figure if they don't suit they'll have a better resale value, at least, it seems that way on ebay

Where are my stabilisers?

Have you got them yet? I find my Jawbones very hot! My previous Oakleys have been metal framed and I find the plastic frames and tight fit boiling - they don't fog up, but the heat is taking some getting used to!

Hitby

No, I placed the order then waited. Eventually rang them and the order hadn't even been placed. Shocking service by oakley so I cancelled and bought some raybans instead!

Where are my stabilisers?

Probably a good move - if it wasn't meant to be!
