The thing about having too many choices is you get a headache trying to pick one you like, especially when every choice is pretty attractive in its own right.

I spent my lunch hour at Oakley yesterday. As Russ tried on options for prescription sunglasses, I deliberated over what colour Jawbones to get.

Jawbones

The white/purple combination was my first choice, given my allergy to anything bright and loud. Though I did consider giving in to the green/black one…. but what did I have that matched that other than my Nike LunaRacers? Orange was the colour of my secondary school years and I wasn’t going back there. Red, too much red. Black (both matte and polished) too manly, though the red lenses were pretty cool.

So, as before with other Oakley models like Radar, Enduring and Flak Jacket… I went for white. Can’t go wrong with white, matches everything, looks more feminine, clean, slick. Thanks to Joey, however, I did manage to change the stock lenses (unvented, polarised VR28 black iridium) to the vented blue iridium lenses that came with the white/purple Jawbones, and the spare persimmon lenses from unvented to vented ones. Vents are good because it prevents your lenses from fogging, though Oakley lenses also have a “hydrophobic” coating that does away with/reduces fogging.

The great thing about Jawbone over Radar is lens changing is a breeze. It’s really as easy as taking a ring out of a box and putting it back in. See the Oakley website for more details.

I used the glasses on my ride to work this morning and it was super duper comfortable. Loved it.

If only my legs felt as good today. A short workout only this morning (6.5k run, including 8×400m intervals) because I’m starting to feel tired after 17 days straight of exercising. Oh well, taper starts next Monday for Saturday’s North Face 100! Looking forward to it!
