Bottom Line: Change up the look of your shades with an Oakley Flak Jacket XLJ Replacement Lens Kit.
I have owned the standard Black Iridium Polarized before and really liked them (until I damaged them). After ordering what I believed to be the same lenses I somehow received the "OO Black Iridium Polarized" which bares little resemblance in color to the non-"OO" model. The "OO" is similar to the Black Ir. VR28, the lens look mostly grey but while wearing them they appear very brown. Somewhat disappointed in Oakley for making the names so similar and calling a brown lens "black."
Back Country was very helpful to inform me of these differences and processed an exchange for my intended purchase: "Black Iridium Polarized" (oakley's model with the least light transmission).
I just purchased XLJ lenses from Backcountry and they were the new, larger versions. I like them better because the cover more area under the eyes (great for reflective protection). I have two pairs of Flak Jackets because they are some of the only glasses I've found that cover above my eyes (without any blockage from the frames) and below without any fogging. I love the fit and performance.

These lenses do not fit near as well as the ones that came with my glasses. they rattle around in the frame and constantly sound like they are going to fall out. Bottom line, kick in the extra $100 and just buy a new pair of glasses that are under warranty.
The Flak Jacket lens is ever so slightly larger than the Half Jacket lens, enough where they are not interchangeable. I have a pair of Half Jackets and they broke while I was changing lenses, so I checked at the store before buying the Flak Jackets to see if I could use the lenses that I have in the new frames. Sorry, they don't work. I really like the Flak Jacket though, so I got them anyway. They have really good coverage.
I just bought a set of Flak Jacket XLJ VR-28 black iridium lenses for one of my pairs of Flak Jackets. I love them. They provide a great color (very much like Maui Jim rose) and the contrast is excellent. They are designed to work well in lower light but they also perform very well in bright sun. I wanted something for hiking where you are in and out of trees and therefor shade and these are just the ticket. They are my favorite lenses for the Oakleys. The clarity is awesome.
You don't need any tools. It'll probably take you a couple times to get the hang of it and know what you're doing, but it's not hard after that. The main downside of lens changing is that you need to hold the lenses in a way that you're virtually guaranteed to need to clean them immediately after (via microfiber cloth, etc.). If you might be changing lenses daily for some reason, I'd suggest getting a second frame to minimize risk. If rarer -- like just every weekend, or every month -- it's not a big deal.
I bought a persimmon set to use in low light conditions, specifically when I go shooting and they work great. These lenses do a good job and work fine indoors.
Dude, seriously!! The lens weren't even the right color. I ordered Gold and ya sent me Gray. If that would of been the only problem, I would of considered myself lucky. One lens was scratched, enough that when you shipped them, someone should of noticed. Now,let's not leave the second lens out. That one had a huge chip out of it. The chip that was missing was no where to be found in the box so again, my guess would be someone should of noticed that also. To be fair, I ordered another set of lens from a different company. I wanted to be sure that I wasn't seeing gray instead of gold, but I saw gold on the new pair. So, needless to say, I was not very happy with my first purchase. The second set, you know that ones that I didn't get from you, are wonderful. Maybe next time, ahh!
I scratched the crap out of my old lenses taking them through slot canyons and have replaced them with these! they are easy to snap in and out of the frame and save you some money from having to buy new frames!
Will the XLJ lenses fit on a standard Flak Jacket frame? I've got the standard sunglasses, but I want to get more coverage and would like to put the XLJ lenses without having to buy a new frame.
To the best of my knowledge, yes...they will. I was talking with an Oakley rep the other day and he told me that they would fit. I have the XLJ's and they are awesome. Only bad thing is the fact that the Transitions lenses aren't sold seperately yet. Go on Oakley.com and search for a customer service number, they are really cool and will be able to give you a definite answer.
I received the right lens but mine were cut differently. The left lens was sitting right on my cheeck bone and the right was sitting above it. I thought I was going crazy, and the rep, thought that I was crazy also. But they shipped out another pair right away.
Overall, I got the right lens and they are in fine condition. Every good on getting your product to you right away.
The usual Oakley quality, but the XLJ lenses are a little big for those with larger faces. Even with the larger nose pieces, the bottom of the lens was hitting my cheek. Switched to the regular lens in a polarized black iridium, and all is well.
