The XLJ lenses make a great upgrade for the regular Half Jacket frame if you're looking for better eye protection for sports like mountain biking [OAK0208].

Bottom Line: The light change? Then change the lens.
I got the VR28 Black Iridium lenses with some Christmas money - $50 well spent. The color is just perfect for a wide variety of conditions, and they don't look goofy around town like regular pink lenses do. The XLJ lenses are very easy to remove and replace, never had any trouble. Backcountry ships super fast - here in Utah I get my gear the day after I order. I'd say the only negative was the excessive amount of packaging the lenses came in. They were the only thing I ordered, and the box was almost shoe box sized.
I bought these yellow lenses to go with my oakley fishing sunglasses. Although they are not polarized like my fishing lenses are they are perfect at dusk when you cant see your fly on the water anymore. Helps for the hike back to your car also. Really brightens up the sky at dusk. It is so nice to be able to just change lenses so you only have to carry one pair of sunglasses. Gotta love that!!

Years ago I bought Oakley half jackets with the standard lenses. They worked great until I started using them for biking and running as they didn't provide sufficient coverage. These lenses do just the trick and I love the additional color definition offered by the gold lenses. I use them for everything from driving, biking to the occasional round of golf. I liked lens shape so well I bought black iridium to fill out my collection. As always, service was top notch.
I own the Black Iridium and HI Yellow. I prefer these over the standard Half Jacket lens because they seem to deflect wind better when going 50 miles an hour downhill on your road bike. The lenses are also fairly easy to change out ~ if you follow the directions!
Lens fit regular half jacket frame. Glasses look better than the regular half jacket lens. Hadn't worn the glasses with the regular lens as it did fit well. Not use to the lens color on bright days as it enhances the light. The glasses look classy with the Titanium Iridium.
The yellow would be a nice choice. It brightens things up and offers more depth and contrast to the shadows and darker areas. It even does pretty good in when it is completely dark outside.
I originally bought my Half Jackets with Transitions lenses for the versatility that photochromic (variable tint) lenses provide. I couldn't be happier with the Half Jackets; however, when I took up road cycling as a hobby, I quickly realized that the regular shaped lenses did not provide enough coverage when I'm riding against the wind. I bought a set of XLJ lenses to address that issue and now, I think I have the best of both worlds -- regular shaped Transitions lenses for casual wear and XLJ lenses for cycling. If I had known, I would've opted for XLJ Transitions lenses (assuming that they exist)!
recently purhcased half jacket with xlj gold irrodium polarized lenses.....need for golf.....what lense would you recommend? G30, G30 irrodium, Persimmon or HI Persmmon. Thanks....I play about 3 times per week reqardless of sunlight.
I bought these lenses as a replacement for some old ones that I had cracked. I am happy with the service I got from here, but I am dismayed that a month later I noticed they had cracked. I am not sure if the lenses are faulty or maybe my frame is. Its all Oakley. I have always been a huge fan and user of Oakley.
The regular round lenses and the XLJ lenses fit into the same frame. The round lenses aren't too difficult to change in and out. At first when I went to change in the XLJ lenses, I thought it was IMPOSSIBLE and that they didn't fit, but alas, they eventually went in. Since, I have filed down a corner that goes in the nose area to get them to snap in easier.
I had a biking accident a few months ago and regretfully my Oakley's were injured too. These lenses drop in easily, but are highly secure if your frame is not damaged. Great service, they were shipped out fast, and arrived well-packaged with a copy of my invoice. A+ Thanks!
I have a pair of oakley half jackets with the normal lenses. can i buy XLJ replacement lenses and be able to change them with the regular lenses or no?
I bought the Oakley half jacket replacement lenses for my husband for Christmas. I was able to buy them and ship them overnight and still pay less than I would have if I bought them from other places. Great service. Thank you!
The regular half jacket lenses have a flatter, straight side on the bottom and outside edge. The half jacket XLJ lenses have a concave, more curved bottom to them. The same goes for the outside edge of the lens for the XLJs. They have a curve in them toward the bottom while the regular half jacket lenses don't.EDIT: The XLJs have this funky extra bump on the outside lower edge. The regular Half Jackets look much cooler, the aesthetics are much better.
Are the standard half jacket and half jacket xlj frame one in the same? Are standard half jacket and half jacket xlj lenses then interchangeable on any half jacket frame?
Fitted these the day I got them and headed out on the MTB as soon as I could. Excellent, didn't fog up at all even though it was hot out. Good visibility even in low light conditions, will be looking for another set to fit in between these and my titanium iridium set. Great service, prompt delivery and excellent follow-up by the staff. Wouldn't buy anywhere else.
The original replacement lenses that I ordered were defective and I quickly and promptly replaced the lenses with a new pair. The lenses are terrific and allow me to change out the Oakley's based on light levels. The cost of an alternate pair of lenses and the pair that came with the Half Jacket XLJ's, all of which I purchased here, still totaled less than what I expected to pay at the mall or other online outlets. I am very please with the experience here.
Are you talking about Backcountry.com or just as an aftermarket mod? If you plan on getting it done yourself.. sure, why not? Just make sure you have it done by someone who knows what they're doing- for $40 and up I wouldn't want to ruin a lens like this. As for Backcountry.. I have no clue, sorry.
What a great lens. I'm currently serving in Afghanistan where the air is always filled with dust and or haze. The VR28 lens seems to magnify the available light and are a great in changing weather. In hazy conditions you can really see the detail of your surroundings. I wouldn't recommend this lens for very bright conditions that you're fairly certain won't change. I've kept the VR28 lens in for about a month now regardless of the weather and they've worked great.
I had just a little trouble inserting the new lenses for the first time. I've switched lenses back and forth several times and now it's no problem. Just be careful and be patient while replacing lenses.
I have been a diehard Oakley fan for years! I have pairs that have found resting places such as: the Gulf of Mexico, Lake Ray Hubbard (TX), Germany, Florida, and Cancun. After each loss I ran out and bought another pair. Now, I actually won't feel too bad about losing them because these guys have the best selections and prices. I highly recommend Oakley shades and lenses!
I LOVE these lenses. They work great in almost any light level. I had the polarized before but found the view distracting as I could see patterns in glass windshields, etc... The VR28s are wonderful. I was looking for a good lens to use on the water with lots of sun and glare. They work well for that, but the bonus is that they seem to work well in just about all conditions.
