Jawbones are very good. I have a pair and they fit really well. Radars have slightly long arms for my helmet, so they don't fit as well as the shorter arms on Jawbones. Split Jackets also look good - a bit less cycling.

Jawbones are big, don't suit small faces, Radars are much better in that respect. Really you need to try them on, I love my Radars, never had problems with arms interfering with helmet either.

any of the adaptalite ones are good. i have a pair of chicanes, and another pair which are similar, but without the bit of the frame around the bottom of the lens. i prefer the latter, as the vision is marginally better when looking over my shoulder, but those ones have been through my back wheel at speed, and consequently are a bit scratched!
very robust though!
i'd recommend adaptalites to anyone.

I love m-frames. they can make you look like a try-hard on an MTB though

do the Racing Jackets you have, have transition lenses?
Im interested in them if I don't get the spesh adaptalite ones.
