I don’t think they’d be any more or less likely to do that than other budget sunglasses (EDIT: or not so budget ones as per rocketdog).

I don’t think anyone’s expecting shotgun levels of resistance from £10 glasses…

If you have a crash where you hit your sunglasses hard enough to shatter them, surely not wearing them would just mean that you’d smash your face against the rock/tree/whatever? It’s not going to be pretty either way…

Mine arrived today – so that’s essentially a month from ordering. From a distance (eg for anyone looking at them on someone wearing them) I don’t think you could spot them as fakes.

Close up they’re more plasticy in feel and the non-visible edges definitely aren’t as neat (eg under the nose contact points when they’re flipped up) but they’re not bad especially considering the price. I’d say they’re similar quality to what you’d be ok getting for £30-£40 otherwise but look better. The nose contact points aren’t quite the same as genuine ones but again, similar enough to not be obvious.

pics below – the main thing that’s not quite right is that one of the Oakley “O”s on the arm has paint that goes beyond the “O” (you can see it on the last pic)

The lenses seem ok – no obvious distortion but since I plan on fitting genuine oakley lenses that’s not really something I’m too interested in. They come with: gold vented, yellow vented, grey (possibly mirrored) non-vented.

Oh, the jawbone pivot has a torx bolt like the genuine ones.

They look really good! Think I might have to put an order in 🙂

Sod it I just ordered 2 pairs of ‘fashion’ glasses. Cant go wrong for £5.88 for the pair!

Did exactly the same a couple of hours ago – worth it for the case alone 😀

Not jawbones clubber. Oil rig and Eyepatch by the look of them.

Not got much to loose if they don’t suit me. Unlike the Frogskins I got a week or two ago.

Hello, sorry for the thread resurection. I didn’t go for Jawbones, I went for Radar’s I tihnk? Anyway, there’s weird clear plastic “glasses” inside the lens. Looks odd, are they meant to be there or do i remove them?

Thanks

That clear lense is how lots of glasses manufacurers put pescription lenses in. You don’t need it.

2nd of three orders shipped today….still waiting for the first one to arrive.

12 days to ship first order.
10 days to ship second order.

I had my order shipped yesterday. 10 days from order to full shipping. Not too bad for DX. Looking forward to getting them.

ive actually got some colleagues that work in an optical physics lab think i might order a pair and see how they block uv compared to my real oakleys……

Kimbers if you are near me you are welcome to test mine when they arrive. North Brum BTW

I don’t think anyone’s expecting shotgun levels of resistance from £10 glasses…

If you buy bolle safety glasses you do 🙂

Who’s up for a bit of testing? I know a man with a shotgun and I have a few pairs of Bolles, anyone got any spare eyes?

Trouble with these knockoff Oakleys, is that they still look like Oakleys. If you really want to look like Bono, then fair enough and I suppose it’s good that it’s now cheaper.

Cheaper for 2 pairs than the Blocs I would have got to replace the Blocs I broke.

£3 Each for me.

I’m up for testing northwing. I will let you know when miner come. You supply the shotgun.

Anyone tried these ones?

I don’t suppose anyone has a quick guide to which ‘DX Leisure Glasses’ look like which Oakleys?

(by DX SKU if poss)

Received my pair of Jawbone lookalikes from DX today. Very impressed. No paint work out of line, very comfortable (for a short period so far). The case is great plus theres the neck strap and cleaning cloth and bag with it. One set of lenses(dark) however doesn’t have cut outs which is no big problem. And it has a Torx bolt fastening.

Mine arrived today too – excellent, I’m well impressed with them. I’m going to order another pair just to keep in the truck 😀

Higgo can’t get the numbers now as on my phone. The two that I ordered had customer images that showed the model name on the arm just like real ones do.

just search on “Oakley” at DX…

my comments on my dxbones

http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/dx-jawbone-style-glasses-compatibility-with-genuine-jawbones/page/2#post-3694630

Just got back from a 2 hour ride with them and they’re far more comfortable than the bolle safety glasses I’ve been using for the last 3 years. Really quite impressed with them.

I’ve just ordered the same black and red Oakleys as Clubber – Sku 68824. Seem worth a try.

Now to check out a suitable prescription lense supplier. Anyone got any recommendations?

Wh needs the knock offs……. got me a prescription set of these…….

……..ariving this week, by far the best lens available optically, and usable on and off the bike

you being a peado or knowin all abou them would know this?

English?

They look rubbish though.

Just ordered a set of jawbone ripoffs, black/white 😀

Can anyone tell me the name of the ebay seller that does the lenses that fit?

Visionarylenses in US

Why risk buying cheap Oakley’s and getting inadequate UV protection and lens clarity, also you are supporting the illegal counterfeit black market, also STW are openly supporting this tut tut.

yup.

Yep, if this was a thread about fake booze/fags/illegal downloads stw would have melted in rage

Although if it was about how best to evade import tax on bike bits or electronics most people wouldn’t care either. :shrug:

Because I think spending over £30 on a sunglasses is mental. So I got 2 pairs for less than that.
