Title: Radars or Jawbones?
Post by: King pair on February 20, 2013, 07:35:31 PM
As the title suggests. What are people's opinions?

When I tried the jawbones on I personally found that the jaw obscured downward vision. They fit my head like a dream but the radars weren't that much of a compromise.
My advice would be to get to a bike shop or somewhere that seller them and try some on.
Within the radars you must also decide which lense shape best suits your head. :)

I have Flax jackets and I have no downward obstruction.
I use those for batting as well. :)

Agree with the above, jawbones probably sit better but I prefer the visibility with radars. It your budget stretches enough, go for polarised lenses.

try them on before you buy.

I do have Flak Jacket XLJ and Radar Paths, I think Flak Jackets are better fit than radar paths. Never tried the Jawbones as I don't really like the look of them...

I've played cricket in both Flak Jackets (in the sunny Climes of Jamaica, where there was a lot of sun) and used Radars over in the UK in the summer. I found both equally effective when it came to keeping the sun out, but I also noticed that the Flak Jackets tended to get more grease from sun cream on them. Otherwise, both were good sunnies.
