Looking at these for road biking and mountain biking. Not sure on whether to go for vented or non-vented lenses? Will use with prescription lenses so I'm looking at the black transition lenses at the moment. Anyone use a similar set up? Any other feedback on these?
Cheers

I like mine - have had two sets.

I run the vented Clear - Black iridium transitions, but the persimmon are good too

I've been using a pair of jawbones for a few years now.. Road, XC, Commute, gravity enduro, DH. Can't fault them.

I would definitely go down the vented route.

The Clear Black Iridium lense is a really good one too - I use mine in everything from bright sun to night riding.

I have a set of jawbones with prescription transitions lenses.

Are you sure you can get vented prescription transition lenses?
When I bought mine last year for prescription lenses, transitions and venting were mutually exclusive.

They are great glasses though!

I thought you could - will have to check

Any idea where the best price can be found?

Awesome glasses, just ordered new ones with prescription lenses. I would recommend vented.

I've got some prescription ones coming from RX Sport today assuming Royal Mail deliver (tracking suggests they will) - ordered on Sunday afternoon. Placed a half hearted delivery query on my account page on RX's website on Tues and had a call within 15 minutes to confirm their response, quite unnerving but v.reassuring.

So, so far an excellent experience; unless they're smashed to smithereens or the prescription is totally out (hopefully both unlikely) I'll be pretty happy!

Give Mike here a call http://www.uksportseyewear.co.uk/

I wear Split Jackets which are very similar to RJs but a little plainer looking.
