I think about $200 for the Jawbones & around $70 for the photochromic lenses, so all up $270, but I got 3 or 4 sets of lenses with the glasses, so it's not a bad buy when you consider the quality. I don't change out the photochromic lenses when I'm riding road, day, night, wet, it doesn't matter. I fit the amber ones when I'm riding the MTB.

There aer way too many fakes out there, makes me very suspicious for purchasing them online, but that's where you get the fine prices

I got my jawbones online from the USA for $180, but it was a clear/black photo chromatic lens only. they are genuine glasses and I can use the same lens day and night which makes them perfect for commuting and early morning road riding. The lens is a bit worn now after two years, but these have outlasted every cheap frame I have owned. I find that most frames crack due to changing lenses. the jawbones have a swing lock closure to hold the lens, so there is no stress on the frame when fitting a new lens.
I would buy jawbones again without hesitation, but not at the local RRP of $450 (who are they kidding?). my sister works for the local distributor and even their "can't be beaten" staff price is still more expensive than the RRP of the same glasses on the Oakley USA website. When buying online from a US store, I use the Oakley official store to figure out the discount, Paying $180 for jawbones is not a huge discount from the standard US price, but always buy from a reputable seller.

Thanks, that information is handy, I tried a pair at the DFO Oakley store today, boy are the comfy, I have a little weird head size
Often one of my eyebrows touch the glass, not with the jawbone!
Plus they are so light

The budget is the biggest factor, would like to stick to $25.00 if possible.

Deal Extreme (dx.com). A lot of sunglasses under $25. Free shipping too. Delivery is slower than most other online stores though.

not to mention you cannot cancel your membership...or the regular 'special' promotional emails...very annoying.

Go down to Bunnings and have a look through their safety glasses..I paid about $14 for mine, lost them on a climb a few weeks ago and went straight back for another pair.

Perhaps, I never bothered to check, I use a Delete button.

I got the jawbones , with 3 sets of glasses - Jade and Black (Iridium) and yellow ones for night.
Thanks All, these are definitely a premium pair, even though I don't look great with them, I feel great

They have some very good ones. Unlike "Masters", which only had junk.

How long ago did you order, how long did it take for you to receive the items and are they of comparable quality to the glasses sold in a retail outlet in Australia?

It seems a little odd that almost every type of Oakley sunglasses are listed at a price of $122, marked down to $25.
The whole thing screams FAKE! to me... and that website has scraped details off a legit site and purports to be trading from the US.
The description for every pair of oakley sunglasses (there are literally hundreds to look at) is identical with only the pictures changed as well.

If you've purchased sunglasses from there and actually received something i think you've been very lucky.

There is a massive difference between fake and scam...
