JAWBONE Atomic Orange/Fire Iridium Vented, Persimmon (04-206)

JAWBONE Atomic Orange/Fire Iridium Vented, Persimmon (04-206)

h2. JAWBONE SUNGLASSES Oakley’s legacy of sports performance innovation continues with the new JAWBONE. The latest evolution of a coveted design, this frame is like nothing ever seen in the world of sports. Every aspect is engineered around the clarity and protection of HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®). With Oakley’s new SWITCHLOCK™ Technology, the lower part of the frame rim opens to allow easy access for quick lens changing, letting you optimize performance in any light condition. The revolutionary design holds the lenses with a suspension system so stresses on the frame won’t affect the optics. With ordinary frames, flexing can change the surface contours of the lenses, causing optical distortion. The new architecture ensures there’s nothing to diminish the unbeatable clarity of HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®), and you still get the optimized comfort and fit of a flexible frame design. Pivot the nose piece to unlock the lower jaw and open it for easy lens changing. There’s minimal handling involved, so dirty fingers don’t get all over the lens. The quick-release system closes with a cam that locks each lens securely in place. Oakley engineered the pivoting system with a release mechanism that lets you remove and replace the nose piece with a different size to customize the fit. A comfortably secure fit is essential for athletic competition, so Oakley started this new design with the company’s legendary Three-Point Fit. Instead of hooking the ears like conventional frames, a Three-Point Fit ensures the frame touches the wearer only at the bridge of the nose and the sides of the head. Oakley combined the proprietary fit with specialized bridge geometry and strategically placed flex zones to give the frame a broad range of flexibility while directing stresses away from the lenses. That way, the optics can do their job without the distortion of subtle bending and bowing. Oakley SWITCHLOCK™ Technology for an interchangeable lens design that helps you keep up with changing light conditions and maximize performance in any environment. UNOBTAINIUM® stem sleeves for a secure fit that increases grip with perspiration. Durable yet comfortably lightweight O MATTER® frame material that optimizes protection while maintaining a flexible fit. Interchangeable nose piece for a customizable fit. Unbeatable clarity and visual fidelity with the patented innovations of HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®), optimized by an entirely new frame architecture that translates frame stresses away from the lenses. Full range of optional lens tints for glare reduction, improved color perception, enhanced contrast and optimized depth perception. Convenience and clarity of Oakley HYDROPHOBIC™ a permanent lens coating that repels dust while maintaining a smudge-resistant barrier against skin oils, fingerprints, lotions and sunscreens and even repels water to prevent streaks and sheens from corrupting your vision. Impact protection that meets all ANSI Z87.1 standards for high velocity and high mass impact resistance. XYZ OPTICS® to extend clarity across lens contours that open peripheral vision and improve side protection against sun, wind and impact. PLUTONITE® lens material for 100% filtering of all UVA, UVB, UVC and harmful blue light up to 400nm. Protective sports-specific Oakley Soft Vault included with capacity for extra lenses Available with Oakley prescription lenses (+2.00 to -3.00 combined power)

Jawbones ROCK!
Date: October 26, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity, No glare

These glasses are amazing! The fact that this new switch lock tech makes these glasses have no pressure on the lens is amazing...not surprising as Oakley has always been so design and tech driven...I would recommend these to any hardcore biker out there! Along with all the other Oakley traits (100% UV protection and impact protection), this must be one of my favorites yet!!!

Pros: Comfortable, Durable, customization and available colors

Like most Oakley performance eyewear, the Jawbone lives up to expectations with an excellent fit for all applications. No issues or concerns to mention in regard to fit or field of vision limitations. Where the Jawbone excels is the new lens swapping technology, making it quick and easy to swap out lenses. The hinge bolt is extremely well incorporated into the frame design, making it part of the style and color considerations. The other thing Jawbone has going for it is that the whole design lends itself to highly customizable options and great colorways since you can potentially select colors for the frame, lower jaw, bolt, icons and earsocks/nosepiece. The inclusion of a 2nd set of lenses and case are true finishing touches.

THANKS!
Date: September 26, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity, No glare, holding up just fine.
Cons: none

For me the best Oakley's EVER! I have 6 pair from Monster Dog to Flak Jacket. no question, as soon as I put them on I knew, they're ME! From the tree stand to the gun range (yellow lenses!), I almost never grab any of my other Oakleys now. Oh yeah I think my Jawbone's work better than the "Three Wolf Moon Tee Shirt" does.

Stylish and functional
Date: August 18, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity, Stylish

These glasses are among the best I've ever owned. They function well for all sports I have used them in during the short time I ave had them; cycling, softball, golf, disc golf, running. The lenses are easy enough to change and clean, and the vault and carrying bag are nice additions with this product. This color scheme will get attention, they are bright and vibrant, with the fire iridium lenses that add a nice touch (and with the vents don't fog up on you.) Overall these sunglasses are well worth it, they will quickly become your everyday sunglasses, whether you're going to the mall or going for a ride these are amazing.

One of the best Oakley Eyewear
Date: July 4, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity, No glare

no doubt about "science wrapped in art" on this product. fits like the older racing jackets but more versatile and lighter in weight, vents are great, no fogging, no pressure points. easy lens swap and nose piece can be easily change although it was not in the instructions manual, i have to figure it out, but thanks to the help of fellow o-reviewers. For your info on how to change the nose piece. 1) pop the lens, don't return the jaw back,2) close the nosepiece back(it will not lock because jaw is not in place) and push a little bit, it will easily fall off. Overall for me this is comparable to the sub zeros and zeros that i wore over the years.
