Hi, first post here. Not really an Oakley enthusiast but I do have a couple before this latest purchase.
The purpose of these glasses will be strictly cycling. A little about my setup: white helmet / white bike.
Naturally I would like for the glasses to match so I have made white sort of a requirement.
This is what I have purchased but will only keep one. Why didn't I get a Jawbone and customize it instead? because it's being discontinued and it makes more sense to buy the "new" model for the same or slightly higher price.
$220. 2 lenses (Jade and clear)
$355. 2 lenses (transitions and the one pictured, don't remember name)
-----
-I'm not crazy about the green accents on the first one. And it's hard to find thru bolts locally and they're $30 online. Does the Racing Jacket and the Jawbone share these components? I was told in the Oakley store they are not interchangeable, but then again the girl also told me the lenses were not interchangeable either and they clearly are.
-Not sure how I feel the black jaws on the white/black one. Maybe it'll grow on me but for the money I'm spending I have to LOVE it to keep it.
Opinions welcomed!
Thanks
