Racing Jackets

[Simonh]

Ok so what do I do. I fancy a pair of racing jackets for general use but what colour frames and lenses. I am normally boring and go with black so am thinking poss black frames and poss plasma or jade lenses with black back ups. What does everyone else have and any pics. I do like the white frame but maybe that's just for hols not every day. Please help lol

why dont you try the OCP program on oakley.com bro... you could customize the look of the racing jackets from the frames, rubbers and lenses. then you can havea real picture of what you want...

Sorry to spam your thread with photos of my face! But I've just picked up the Matte Black Ink model with OO Red Iridium Polarised and Black Iridium.

Here are the 2 lenses in the frames.

Note: I've just ordered the Ice Iridium Polarised (non vented) lens from Oakley and they will include the anodised blue icons for the side of the frames! Result!

^ thats what i would go for if i had the spare cash :-/

Although the OCP route isnt a bad choice as you can change bolt, rubber, icon colour etc.

All matte black with red icons, bolts and rubbers with OO Red irid would look niiiiiiice!

Cheers guys keep em coming. They are very nice mate. Post pics with ice lenses. Your on my wave length. By the way what's OCP?

 

[Simonh]

Sorry also how is the icon changed ?

 

[NickH]

OCP = Oakley Custom Programme.

Lenses arrive soon so will post pics then.

The icons are changed by poking them through from the inside!

I see your in Birmingham? The Sunglass Hut in the bull ring is excellent, although I'd buy online as it's significantly cheaper!

Newitts have them for £173 with the 2 sets of lenses.

Where are newitts mate? Iv been looking for a big dealer with loads of stock locally but all seem small

 

[NickH]

Newitts are online.

I haven't found anywhere with loads of stock.

For the RJ's specifically you'll have more luck with big cycling shops than eyewear shops!

No where will beat the online prices though.

Woo, the lens and icons arrived this morning (amazing service from Oakley).

Here they are - thoughts?
