Polarized JAWBONE Matte White/VR28 Black Iridium, Persimmon (04-204)

Polarized JAWBONE Matte White/VR28 Black Iridium, Persimmon (04-204)

h2. Polarized 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. Oakley polarized lenses that block performance-killing glare without forcing you to endure the haze and optical distortion found in ordinary polarized lenses. 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)

Amazing!

Pros: Comfortable, Optimal clarity, No glare
Cons: Obstructed views

I am so happy with the Jawbone. Lightweight, stylish, functional and perfect for cycling. I have owned many cycling glasses and none have fit as well and stayed in place as well as the Jawbone. The Polorized Black Iridium lenses are great for summer riding and everything is crystal clear.
If you cycle these are the specs for you!

In my opinion The Jawbone is a all rounder.

They are specificaly designed for extreme sports but they can also have purpose outside the performance arena. The full frame of the Jawbone gives them scope to be acknowledged as a fashion accessory as well.

When I fist put the Jawbone on they remided me of the Monster Doggle.

As for function. I Just used them in a 65km cycling road race.
Fit was perfect, no fogging and no obstrution of view except for when you want to peer around your shoulder to see who is behind you.
The best feature is the new system for changing the lenses.
It is very easy and quick to change lenses and most importantly no pressure is applied to the frame during the process, unlike all the other frames where bending and pressure are required to fit the lense.

Overall a very good product that can be worn to the battle.
During the battle and at the after party.
