No, well maybe, but I doubt you have what I would trade it for. Top shelf top tier almost impossible stuff to find.

No you don't.

If YOU start collecting, seriously, WHAT hope do ANY of the rest of us have of getting good stuff?!!

Bought my first Jawbone in about 2010 and fell in love with them.

Several years later, they were "replaced" by the (new) Racing Jacket. Oakley were allegedly facing copyright issues for the use of the name "Jawbone" by a company of the same name, which releases wireless headsets for mobile phones etc.

My only wish was that they had made a Ducati version.

I'm looking for an Atmos, Rapha (yeah, right!), Team Vegas, Fairends and custom splatter if you've got one!!! I have stuff to trade also.

The New Racing Jacket is essentially the same as the old Jawbone. They utilise the same sized lenses, nose pieces, "jawbone" pieces and nose and ear rubbers.

But there are a few notable differences:-
- RJs - have holes in the ear stems to attach a lanyard strap (much like their cousins, the split/wind jacket).
- RJs come with alternate and swappable O icons (and they're slightly larger compared to the un-moveable Jawbone icons).
- All RJs come with vented antifog lenses. Only some of the Jawbones do.
- Jawbone bolts compatible with the RJs but not vice versa, because the bolts are 1/4 mm longer. You risk over tightening RJ bolts in Jawbones and stripping them if you do this.

If you find any other differences, let me know and I'll update this!

Anyhow, on to the bit you've been waiting for! My Collection!

Haven't seen too many of them. How rare are they?

I have a set of them. I’ll send pictures later. I don’t know about their rarity.

Yeah, but at least you can literally make another one. When I "miss one" I've sold, I have to wait till it comes up again!!
