I'm about to press the "buy" button for a set of Windjackets with prescription lenses but would be interested in feedback from anyone riding with these - or any similar alternatives.

Jawbones with a spoiler to deflect wind int they?

I quite like my Jawbones, prefer Radars though. Find Jawbones slip down my nose a bit, tend to get dirtier, and the frame obscures my vision a bit. Not the end of the world, but if I had one pair they'd not be Jawbones.

I do prefer glasses with no lower "rim" but I'm in search of something to keep the wind out of my eyes, so it looks like I need to compromise somewhere 🙂

I'm using Half Jackets with the XLJ lens just now, but still affected by streaming eyes.

Don't say that!
We're going back to Virgin after Sky has become far too expensive...

Have you seen Mission Impossible 4? Do you think Tom Cruise is cool? If you answered yes to one or both of those questions, you should definitely buy them.

Seriously though, I've got some Jawbones and I like them, but the location of the hinge & thickness of the frame in that area does mean peripheral vision is reduced compare to Radars, M-Frames, etc. Best to try before you buy.
