SurferChild Posted August 1, 2013 Share I'm currently having a look at purchasing one of these sunglasses and just wanted to know what the significant difference is? I understand that the Racing Jacket has holes at the end of the stems for a strap.... but other than that....? Which would you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skuzzi Posted August 1, 2013 Share I collect oakleys and have a couple of each. There is no difference. When I was in america I asked the guys at the one store and they said they had to change the name due to another brand also have a jawbone range. Thats why the change Edited August 1, 2013 by Skuzzi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cycho Posted August 1, 2013 Share As far as I am aware, the racing jackets are merely the new models of the jawbones. Name changed due to some patent or copyright issue. So likely the jawbones are actually old stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SurferChild Posted August 1, 2013 Share Thanks a mil... I had a look around and browsed the internet for some images. Like i mentioned, it seems the only difference is the Racing Jacket has holes at the end of the stems to fit a strap.... that seems to be pretty much it. The Racing Jacket is also slightly cheaper than the Jawbone plus you get the strap with the Racing Jacket by the seems of things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinnekop Posted August 1, 2013 Share Jawbones went "off the market" in the beginning of 2013 and was "replaced" by the racing jackets. In the old days......5-10 years back the "racing jacket" was the one that was a one piece.....ears could not fold.Hincapie made them popular back in the day.... http://thecyclinghouseblogdotcom.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/images2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baaisikilist Posted August 1, 2013 Share Jawbones were the 1st generation of what are now called Racing Jackets. The differences between the two are mainly just 'upgrades' or 'facelifts' of that 1st generation. The name change came about due to an Earphone manufacturing company already owning the rights to the name Jawbone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
