JAWBONE Pearl/VR28 Blue Iridium Vented, Persimmon (04-208)

JAWBONE Pearl/VR28 Blue Iridium Vented, Persimmon (04-208)

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)

These white and purple Oakley Jawbones are the best way to stand out from the crowd and make you proud that you have these. The purple made me purchase a couple of purple t-shirts and polos from American Eagle because I want to look fresh when I go out with these bad boys. The first time I tried it on I didn't even notice it on my face except for the weight on my nose. The "jaws" that allow you to switch lenses are a breeze to use. You just flip open the nose pieces and open up the jaws to effortlessly remove the lenses and put new ones in. The lens quality is superb because it blocks out just enough light without blocking most of it. In a sense, these Oakleys are cheap! The soft vault cases cost $25 and the extra lenses cost $60, which totals to $85. This means the Jawbones themselves cost about $115. It's a great deal! It also comes with a soft pouch, but it's far from the ordinary black ones, these have a graphic font of "JAWBONES" and cool images. This is my first pair of Oakleys and I'm proud that my first is the Jawbone. I can't wait to wear these to school and use it on the trails for years to come.

These were by far the best pair of race glasses I've ever used! Nice weight, easy to use in terms of removing the lenses and I love the weight. Great air flow too. These things are perfect for my face! Love 'em!
