My racing jackets are great. I've got black to near clear transitions lenses. I got some clear lenses for night riding top.

Try them on - I've got Jawbones and Radars, and much prefer Radars - fit my face far better. I've no idea what he's saying:

Loving my prescription lensed racing jackets but cost including two sets of lenses ( vented) was eye watering expensive.

If you can find an Oakley store near you they will have a nice range and will encourage you to try lots on. They will also give you an impressive demonstration of trying to snap a pair in half.

I'm not sure about the Radar(lock) look for MTB. They look cool on road bikes though, whereas IMO the [s]Jawbones[/s] Racing Jackets are a bit more universal. I've got racing jackets, I think they suit my face better anyway.

Peripheral vision I.e. looking over your shoulder in traffic (and I guess in races) is easier in Radars but it's not a dealbreaker.
