Description

Protect your baby blues in the Oakley Flak Jacket XLJ Polarized sunglasses.

Slightly larger lens than the standard Flak Jacket, the Oakley XLJ Flak Jacket Sunglasses feature polarized lenses to give you more protection from the sun's nasty rays. If you're biking and you need to see those berms rushing your way, swap out the Flak Jacket's lenses to suit any lighting condition in a matter of seconds. These shades stay on your dome thanks to Unobtanium rubber temples and nosepiece, which actually get grippier as you sweat. When your trail runs take you into less-than-favorable conditions, Oakley's hydrophobic lens coating repels water, oils, and even dust.

Really enjoy these glasses. They block out wind very well and I'm excited to try road biking with them once I get out of the mountains from winter.

I have been wearing oakley's for years. They're lightweight, comfortable and the lenses are easily replaced.

hands down bet running glasses. I recommend these for any active wear. Some people would rather have rudys for running but those don't look as cool. These look cool enough for casual were and for driving around. For cycling, i find larger glasses to work better.

I got my first pair of Flak Jackets as a door prize gift and loved them! They fit my face well and look good! I bought another pair a year later because my lenses got all scratched up from taking them through canyons. I would use the old pair for canyoneering and the new pair for driving and day use. They were so stylish that 2 of my friends also bought them! I will definitely buy another pair when the time comes to replace the ones I have now!

These things rock. I have been an oakley fan for the last 11 years or so. Never been disappointed. I got these because my new job need more wrap around eye protection. I had a pair of half jackets that I was very happy with but they were 3+ years old and getting tired. These glasses give me ANSI Z87 rated protection from flying debris and keep me stylin'. The polarization is a plus to keep glare down when I'm off playing after work.

Bottom Line: Buy them. If you can keep a decent pair of shades around then this is what you need!

A great compromise between wire-frames and M-frames. Able to wear these around town and still out adventuring. Plus, in my opinion they look a little better than the Half-Jackets... which look a little too roundish for.

Hubby opened 'em up and loved the color combo of the frame and lenses. He played golf wearing them for the first time yesteray and LOVED them! Very happy with the purchasing process and shipping was quick.

Tried a pair on at a local store, but wanted a better price. After two other retailers couldn't get me the shooting package of the non-polarized version, I settled on the polarized version.
The glasses stay in place during my running and biking. I need to get some lighter tints now that it is getting dark so early. The only real issue I have is that my bike helmet strap and some of my hats make me shift the ear pieces into less than optimal positions.
Nice case and cleaning sock.

I have bought a new pair if flack jackets this year and they are really good i love them but when i wear them for a long periods of a time i come out in a horrible sore either side of my nose and just under my eyes and was wondering if any one else had experienced this??

you could be allergic to the rubber they use for nose grips "unobtainium nose bombs" they call it, if its latex based. As for under the eyes...could it be sunburn?

Check out the x metal line (juliets, others) that have no rubber on the nose area, just metal frame material. A call into Oakley might help, but since lens crafters bought them, i have no experience with customer support there.

Good luck!

I wear these glasses for running and cycling and absolutely love them. I have an average sized head and have never had any issues with them slipping or falling off no matter how sweaty I am. I use the polarized gold iridium lenses no matter the time of day or amount of sunlight and have never had any visibility issues. Definitely not a budget item, but if you've got the money to spare you can't go wrong with these glasses.

Can I get these in a progressive lenses? -- Oakley Flak Jacket XLJ Sunglasses - Polarized

Cheez

Yes you can,but would seriously consider distance only instead because of the progressive design used and cost. I'm an eye doctor and just ordered a single vision pair instead of a progressive in this model. If using for cycling be sure you're not looking over them in a road bike posture - if not use asian design. Tint is personal --- suggest bronze or gold iridium polarized.

Do these have the HD polarized lenses?

The Flak XLJ are just shaped a bit differently than the half jacket. They flare a bit more to the side after it exits the bottom of the frame.

XLJ on Half jackets fit me great, where as XLJ on Flak Jackets, the flare tends to bump into my cheekbones. That fact led to the return of my Flak's.

if you go on Oakley's website and look at these same glasses, there will be a tab called "lenses" where Oakley has simulated the different lens tints for different activities: golf, snow, trails, water activities and jogging.

I thought sunglasses were mainly the same and always bought cheap ones, in case I lost them. These sunglasses have changed my mind completely! Even with direct sun in my eyes, my eyes never hurt I don't have to squint to see. There is no place at the edge for the sun to leak in. They are very comfortable and not overly fragile. These are worth every penny.

I purchased a pair of half jackets four years ago, but have sadly outgrown them. The flak jackets are a little bigger than the half jackets, and simply amazing. i expect to get at least another four years out of these. their optical clarity, weight, and durability are unmatched; i frequently forget that i'm even wearing them.
