Oakley radar's vs Jawbones

[jamesn184]

Has anyone owned both and can give me a compare?
I own a pair of jawbones and are generally happy with them bar the fact that at high speeds I still get wind in my eyes...
I've had a general hunt around fleabay and have found a few for around $100 that look somewhat legit

Radar's are fine, but you need to spend a few to get a few lenses. I use BBB Select which are practically identical, $100 and three lenses and cover the high brow well. I found the radars can give in a bit of light in at the top of the brow but the jawbones wont. You'll probably get more wind on the radars. Are you sure they're a good fit in the first place? I find most without an adjustable noise piece aren't too good. Jawbones will give you a complimentary City Beach look.

When I bought the jawbones I tried on the Radar's and they felt fine.. reason why I got the jawbones in the first place was they were the last ones and were 50% off!
Id only pick up a pair of yellow lenses off ebay, have done the same with clear lenses for the jawbones and they have been fine

I started with Jawbones, then went to Radars. Will never cycle in Jawbones again due to the smaller field of view. I much prefer the uninterrupted view with the radars (no frames). It was particularly noticeable when riding in traffic and checking over my shoulder for cars. With the Radars I don't have to turn as far. My jawbones are now my everyday glasses where Radars are cycling only.

Hi James,

I have both. Went to Jawbones becausee the Radars (Path) didn't fit my face quite well enough (sat up a bit on the bottom of the lense and let the wind in).

I love them both for comfort, especially the jawbones and haven't experienced any vision or field of vision issues. I also like you can buy different lenses (photochromic) and spares like arm socks at quite a good price on ebay. Not legit parts but still very good.

I recently bought a pair of Radars with the "pitch" lense which suits me better so if you consider the Radars, try the different lenses.

Cheers

If you want minimal wind, you could always get wind jacket
