[skinnydog1973]

Its my birthday in a few weeks and im going to treat myself to a pair of oakley sunglasses but i am not sure which ones to get its either the Racing Jacket, Radarlock or fuel cell if anyone has a pair of these let me know what they are like please, i know that they are overpriced but may as well treat myself lol, i seem to be swaying towards the racing jacket because the fuel cell seem a bit big thanks if anyone can help me cheers

Try them on if you can different models suit different face shapes.

I use jawbones most of the time for cycling (jawbones are the old name for racing jackets) and find them good. Easy to change the lenses too. Radars are also good for cycling its just i prefer having an 'enclosed' lens with the frame on my cheekbone rather than the bottom of the lens. Depends what you want them for really - racing jackets and radars are more about wearing during sport, they are functional for this but dont look so good as a casual / fashionable sunglass whereas the fuel cell are more for fashion than sport

thanks for the replies, adscrim they look nice glasses and for that price they are tempting, zizou i agree with you about the fuel cells thats what the oh was saying how they are more fashionable but really its mostly for the bike thats why im going towards the racing jackets,canyon do a fuel cell but i think after looking on youtube they will be too big for my face

It was my post in the bargain thread that @adscrim is referring to. I also have the glasses and I like them a lot, great lenses in them and think they look smart.
I bought them to replace my Oakley Custom Flak Jacket XLJ that I left in a hotel room in Gran Canaria!

Racing jackets are good and very comfortable, but they do steam up if you are wearing a cap (with the peak down) and when stopping at lights. The radarlock have more side clearance thus don't steam up as bad, which is why I prefer them. However that being said, the best glasses I currently own are a pair of Salice 005's, half the price of oakley and just as good.

Cheers for replies I'm still tempted by the racing jackets but for the price the flak jackets are very tempting, think I will have to go somewhere and try them all on to see which ones are the best

Razrwire. ..ditch the bluetooth off them if you want without it they are comfortable and practical for all round use ...and as they have been out years you can pick a pair up quite cheap

Radarlock XL Photochromic. Larger lens gives full coverage whether head up or down. Having photochromic means just the one lens for all lighting conditions, all year round.

Bugger. Was tempted by those on offer, but now really desperate for some Racing Jackets. They look awesome!

Jaw bones for me ,have clear ,yellow and dark lenses,you can pimp the colours by changing the hinge ,spares easily replaceable,
Can recommend eyewear outlet they are great guys ,we had a good relationship with them as they sponsored some shirts for us

I've had M Frames in black for about 10 years. I use them for playing cricket and they've got my perscription in, haven't used them on the bike yet as the sun has never shone in Burnley.

It shone yesterday when you picked up your first point against United! Chuffed that you have opened your Premier League account!

You played well in the second half against us last week in fairness too.
