Oakley Jawbone

Oakley’s SwitchLock is a new lens change system that disengages the lower part of the frame rim to allow access for quick lens changing, letting the wearer optimise performance in different light con­ditions.

The design holds the lenses with a suspension system, preventing possible stresses on the frame from affecting the optics. The pivoting system also allows the wearer to remove and replace the nosepiece with a different size to customise the fit.

Available in nine colour and lens options, the Jawbone caused a stir on its release. Burry Stander has been riding with a lumo-green pair and that other Oakley cyclist, Lance whatshisname Armstrong, wore a pair at the recent Tour of California.
It also featured in the 2008 Tour de France. Lens options include vented (seven models), Iridium® (two are non-vented), photochromic (two options) and polarized (three options).
