Jawbone And Racing Jacket?

[BDHO]

Do people prefer jawbones over racing jackets?
I know they are the same frame but is there a difference in the build quality or some subtle difference?
Ive noticed that "basic" jawbones seller for higher prices on ebay than "basic" racing jackets.

sorry if this is a silly question.

Only real difference is that the Racing Jacket can hold a strap & the icons are interchangeable

Jawbones might seek a higher price because they're 'rarer' as the name has been discontinued ... Over a name/copyright issue...

USA made frame vs China...that itself is the only reason for many.

Not necessarily - my Racing Jackets say made in USA on the frame

Right, but you have to search for those. All the Jawbone's were made before the switch.

I prefer racing jackets because the icons are bigger and nicer looking and easier to change out/source.

Wow that sucks I just realized the O-Mater frames are made in china now. What a joke? Jim would have never let that happen.. Lux sucks!

I prefer the Jawbone because the icon is smaller. LOL. I just wish it was interchangeable. But that's not something hot water and a flathead screwdriver can't fix.

Jawbone's also had more non-vented lenses offered with them, although those lenses are their own separate topic.

I'm not gonna lie, while I wouldn't exactly trade my Jawbones, the features of the RJ would've been nice to have.
