Description

Not satisfied with the casual life.

If you've been following Oakley products over the years, you know these sunglasses. The name is Split Jacket and they come with Iridium lenses. The Split Jacket is a smaller, more rounded version of the Jawbone. While the aesthetics are pure Oakley, the size and shape make for a less aggressive look that fits well on smaller faces and is subtle enough for casual wear.

Much like the Jawbone, the Split Jacket's calling card is the Switchlock frame that helps provide unbelievable optical clarity. The clarity is the result of Oakley's HDO optics as well as the Switchlock system that allows the Split Jacket frame to capture the lenses without flexing them. The lenses aren't snapped into place so much as they're contained in a soft liner within the frame. This system allows the frame to flex a bit without bending the lenses and distorting your view.

The frame is the usual light, sturdy, flexible O-Matter. The nosepieces and ear socks are the usual Unobtanium rubber. This stuff gets stickier the more you sweat. And if it ever wears out, the Unobtanium pieces can be replaced. And since Oakley is all about protection, the Split Jackets come with a vault, a cleaning cloth/bag, and a set of spare lenses. The vault is designed to carry the glasses, the cloth, and two sets of spare lenses securely. The cloth works for cleaning and for storage, and there are tiny pockets inside for the spare lenses.

The Oakley Split Jacket Iridium is available in Infrared, Matte Black, and Polished White. The Infrared comes with VR28 Black Iridium and VR50 lenses. VR is an acronym for Violet Rust and allows 28% of visible light to pass through the lens. VR50 allows 50% of visible light to pass through. The Matte Black comes with Black Iridium and G40 Lenses. Black Iridium is a great sunny day lens with a grey base, and G40 is a moderate day lens that blocks lots of green from coming through the lens, allowing 40% light transmission. The Polished White comes with Ice Iridium and Light Grey lenses. Ice Iridium is similar to Black Iridium, just with a blue mirror coating. Light Grey is best for cloudy days and flat light. The grey is a neutral base so colors appear true.

  • Soft Vault case included; stows sunglasses and extra pair of lenses
  • Oakley lenses meet regulatory standards, come standard with anti-water and anti-smudge coating, and UVA, UVB, UVC protection

My favorite pair of glasses. Changing lenses is so east and fast. I regularly switch between indoor and outdoor lenses depending on the setting, time of day. I know it sounds stupid but I feel like I can see better with these on. And im 20/20. extremely comfortable. ill wear these all day on the river or mountain biking and they never slip, never make your ears hurt or give you a headache. had mine for a year now and treated roughly, there are no scratches or dings. pop out lenses and stick in dishwasher (FRAME NOT LENSES). would def buy again if broken or lost. --i have them in red and black

Oh and the lenses can only be seen through in direct sunlight 3-4 feet away, and very faintly. So stay in the shade, creep on creepin' on.

These look sweet-but IMO they fog up more than the flak jackets. However, I have only used them primarily ice climbing as I got them this winter. That being said, I have used my flak jackets for several seasons and while they would fog up sometimes-the fog would quickly evaporate.
Not so with these-I have done several climbs where the fog just did not clear through out several pitches.
Also, they arent as good for climbing due to the frame below the lens. I knew that going in-but just wanted to try them out.
Overall-they look sweet-but for really high output, but relatively stagnant activities (not high speed), id definitely get some of the vented lenses.

I live in a warmer climate, so I never have this issue. but during winter and when i went snowboarding in colorado for a week, they did fine the whole time.

Got the one in white, looks real cool. Got a loot of compliments on it.
The frame it selves doesn't get dirty, but the ear piece gets a bit dirty look after 2-3 weeks of use. Recommended =)

Just recieved my infra red Split Jacket with vr28 black iridium lens and like all oakley sunglasses the fit is awesome. Comfortable and once on for awhile you forget you are wearing them. Riding my mountain bike and hitting jumps and bumps and no movement at all. Oakleys, do you have to say anymore.
