h2. Livestrong 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 is proud to partner with the Lance Armstrong Foundation in support of its ongoing mission to inspire and empower people affected by cancer. When you purchase the LIVESTRONG™ edition of Oakley eyewear, the company will provide $20 to the foundation. Oakley SWITCHLOCK™Technology for an interchangeable lens design that helps you keep up with changing light conditions and maximize performance in any environment.

Durable yet comfortably lightweight O MATTER®frame material that optimizes protection while maintaining a flexible fit. Interchangeable nose piece for a customizable fit.

Once again, Oakley has made some great sunglasses. Actually, they're the best sport sunglasses I've ever had. And what about the style, just awesome. I'm not used to wearing sunglasses while running but now I surely will ! they're worth the price.

Livestrong Jawbone - Unbelievable
Date: August 15, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity, increased field of vision
Quite simply, these are the best glasses I have ever used.
Regardless of the colourways and the fact that they show my suppoort for the fight against cancer, they perform at the very highest level. Supremely comfortable fit is provided by very low weight and amply paded nose bombs and ear socks. A spare set of nose bombs are provided to fine tune the fit if needed.
Optics are predictably immaculate, and vents, whilst evident, do not impede the field of vision. Which, it's worth mentioning, is massive. The usual problem of the upper frame getting in the way during those head-down 115% efforts isn't there, just acres of unadulterated flawless light transmission.
Which brings me on to my final point - the ease of switching lenses. Who'd have thought a fully-framed lens would be faster and less fiddly to swap than that of, let's say, a Half Jacket?

Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity, No glare
I first thought these were a little goofy looking, but after I mountain biked in a pair, I didn’t care what they looked like. Much more comfortable on my head than the M-Frame or Radar and changing out the lenses is much easier. The black on black look ominous while the Retina Burn must be seen in person to appreciate. I also love the Livestrong edition… looks cool and benefits a great cause. I also like the Transitions lens in the silver pair. And after several months of wear, and watching the Tour de France, the appearance has kind of grown on me.

Rockin' the Jawbones!
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity, No glare, bold statement
I finally got my Livestrong Jawbones after a month of waiting. I love them. The fit is great. They are very light. I like how easy it is to change lenses. The vision is great. I see my helmet before I see frame and the venting works great. I seem to get less sunblock smudges on these also. The only minor thing related to vision is I often glance over my shoulder to check traffic/other riders while riding. With my half jackets I could see fine, but the Jawbones I see the frame. I just have to adjust and turn my head a little farther. Not a big deal. I also noted, like others have, the yellow of the jawbones is different from the yellow on the arms. Again not huge but a better match might have been nice. Overall though, these will be my go to sunglasses from here out. I like the bold statement. Get lots of looks while riding (like it!). LIVESTRONG!

Awesome sport sunglasses
Date: July 3, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity, No glare, super light, 2 lens colours in package Cons: yellow colour not the usual livestrong yellow
Livestrong Jawbones are brilliant. The close fit keeps out the wind and the venting prevents fogging. Superlight too so you dont' even know you are wearing them. Getting both lens colours in the one purchase is great too. Only slight complaint is that the yellow part of the frame is not quite the same yellow as the ususal Livestrong yellow as used on the earpieces, 'O' logo and other Livestrong merchandise - it is slightly paler

Excellent for Motorcycling!
Date: July 2, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Optimal clarity, fantastic for motorcycling
This is my second pair of Jawbones and today (just to see if it is possible) I used a pair underneath my motorcycle helmet. They worked better than I had hoped! I am now retiring my old sunglasses and using the Jawbones exclusively. Besides the fact that they fit perfectly there are two other advantages that will appeal to motorcyclists; they did not fog and you can easily change lens as conditions dictate. (I always wear sunglasses under my helmet). So for night riding I can (when the lens become available) switch to clear and still have protection! Yippee!!
I just received my liveSTRONG Jawbones and I'm thoroughly impressed! Wonderful new product. I can't stop switching lenses and wearing them around the house. The locking mechanism is exceptional. Love the clarity and structure of the vented lenses. These glasses were made for cycling.

Great For Cycling or Everyday Use
Date: June 22, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity, No glare, great vision in all directions, turns heads, wind blockage
I also own the Polarized Polished Black and red Iridium Jawbone also. The Clarity on these is great. I have only used the Radar or the M Frame for Cycling and I can truly say that these are far better. I can see all around me, looking down at my computer is perfect with no issues, and my vision all around is excellent! They block the wind a lot better than the Radar especially with the frame coming down to my cheekbone. Don't get me wrong, I love the Radar and the M Frame but with the interchangeable lenses that you can just put in your back pocket or jacket and change out if the weather changes on you out on the Road, by far the Jawbone is the greatest of them all! I just recently participated in a 104 mile bike ride and the weather was calling for Rain, wind. I put in my Persmision Lens and brought my Polarized Red Iridium Lens with me just in case. After about 60 miles the sun cam out and in less than 20 seconds, I reached in my pocket and pulled out the other lenses and off I went! I had a lot of questions and compliments about the Jawbone and how easy it was to change out the Lens and a lot of riders were pretty jealous because they gambled and road with the Shades in the Dark rainy weather and the others kept their clear lenses on and squinted the last 44 miles of the ride to the finish! I read a review that the peref vision is really bad and thats not true. If you have a smaller face I don't see why the vision would be worse. I have a medium facial build and have had no problems with all directions of my sight in any way!! Try them on for yourself and see what you think, you won't be let down!

Date: June 20, 2009
Pros: Comfortable
I am a Full Time Tennis Professional at a country club in the Bay Area and the Jawbones are perfect for everyday on court. The vents prevent fogging, they are light on my face and the fit awesome. Great job Oakley. Thanks
