Practical, functional sunglasses, a good range of options with interchangeable lenses and grips
12 April 2012
4 out of 5 stars as I do feel the style of these glasses may not suite all occasions!
These sunglasses are typical Oakleys. Plastic frame, rubber grips. Comfortable and lightweight on your head. Strong, high quality lenses.
The added benefit of the Flak jacket series is the interchangeable lenses. Not only can you switch between a normal (sort of oval) lens, and also the sports "XLJ" lens (adds a little rounded corner, covering your field of vision more - pictured), it also means you can change your lens colour to suite your tastes and needs. The same can be said of the grips.
This means that really all you need to do is pick your base frame colour. Everything else you can change down the line. I originally bought a pair of these Jet black / Black polarized XLJ glasses. I then replaced the black grips with grey to add a bit of tone to them. I also have a pair of fire colour "normal" lenses, for when I don't need polarised lenses that cover my face!
The lenses can take quite a beating before they get scratched too.
VERDICT
=======
Not the cheapest Oakleys, but also not the most expensive. These glasses are very popular, and there is a great range of accessories/lenses (including cheaper, 3rd party accessories) out there because of their popularity. I'd recommend the XLJ version to anyone that needs their entire field of view covered, and the polarised version for anyone near or on the water. My girlfriend even has a pair now!

Best Oakleys yet
6 July 2009
This is my third pair of Oakley sunglasses. Previously I had two pair of Minute 1.0 shades. The two pair had combined to last 10 years total with minor repairs. My lenses were getting scratched and it was time for new rubbers so I set on getting a new pair.
For those not intimately familiar with Oakley, they put out an outstanding product for the discerning consumer. If you are tired of $15 sunglasses that break at the slightest flex, or fed up with poor lens quality that gives you headaches at the end of a long day outside, then Oakley is for you.
To be honest, at first I was not totally sold on any new Oakley style. A lot has changed in four years since I bought my last pair (the design of which by the way was then already 6-7 years old and getting ready to be phased out). The more I looked however the more I decided I wanted a practical sport style, as opposed to a fashion style. I decided to get a pair of the Flak Jackets, with jet black frames and black iridium polarized XLJ lenses. The clarity is truly top notch. The "rubbers" (Unobtanium) on the nose pads and ear stems grips so well all the time even if you're sweating. The fit feels like they are custom made. I especially like the wide open view of the XLJ lenses. The lenses extend further down to give greater coverage but they are not so huge as to get in the way or make you feel like you are wearing a ski mask. Oakley's website will have way better descriptions of all the details, but sum it up to say I love the shades.
If you aren't ready to spend good money on good sunglasses then you can go down to your gas station and pick out a pair right now that was made in China. Oakley definitely does not scrimp on quality and you get what you pay for. This will be evident the first time you wear them outside (and no, you cannot tell the full quality you are getting from inside the Sunglass Hut indoors). This is also my first pair of polarized lens in any sunglasses. Truly I could not be any more thrilled with my purchase. I continue to be a loyal Oakley customer.

Solid sunglasses
29 Dec 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
I have had some opportunity to use these sunglasses, and they have proved to be very comfortable, and do a good job of blocking the sun while providing good vision. The fit is snug on my head, but not uncomfortably so. I have used the sunglasses while using snowshoes in clean snow on a totally sunny day, and they blocked the glare from the sky and the snow very well. I am pleased with the purchase.
