The Flak Jacket is Oakley's newest offering to the Jacket Sunglasses line. These sport sunglasses give you wrap-around protection and precision optics you'd expect from Oakley. When lighting conditions change from cloudy to blaring sun, swap out The Flak jacket's lenses in a matter of seconds. Grippy, Unobtanium rubber temples and nosepiece keep your glasses comfortably snug on your head—they get grippier as you perspire. When your sporting endeavors take you into less-than-favorable conditions, Oakley's hydrophobic lens coating repels water, oils, and even dust.
Bottom Line: Keep your eyes free from UVA shrapnel with the Oakley Flak Jacket Sunglasses.
I've had these for a couple of weeks now. I like them a bunch. I have three different styles of Oakley sunglasses cause I race bikes all over. I love them all but, these are my favorite ones out of all of them. I think mainly they not only are a sports type sunglasses but, also they are a "use for anything" type sunglasses. I got two pairs when I bought them so I keep one pair in my car and the other ones in my racing gear. I normally don't wear these when I'm racing mainly cause I have the other two pairs that are just plain better for the job but, when I'm done or hanging out with friends these are the ones that are on my face.
This is actually my second pair of Flaks. The first pair I left at a restaurant and never saw again (go figure). The lenses are awesome, I love how much they reduce glare, and the color they give to everything. The fit is perfect (and I have a fairly big head). Much better than my old Half Jackets. The Flaks don't have the uncomfortable pressure points that some glasses can have. Definitely recommend these!
I bought these to celebrate having Lasik surgery. Excellent sunglasses, dark with great clarity. The hydrophobic treatment works extremely well, even preventing sweat and skin oil.
I just got them today and well I like them a BUNCH! I have several other pairs of glasses by Oakley and I've never been let down on any of them. I race bikes and you have to have a good view of what is in front of you at all times. These plus all my other pairs by them have made my job a lot easier to do because everything in front of me seems to pop out because of how sharp everything looks. These or any other pairs of glasses by Oakly will not steer you wrong.
I don't think I have ever spent more than $60.00 for a pair of sunglasses but didn't like the fit and feel of the cheaper pairs. So I splurged and bought a pair of white flak jackets and couldn't be happier. While exercising they don't bounce around on my face, hurt me ears or squeeze too tight, the tinted lenses are perfectly clear across the field of vision. While I'm happy with the level of tinting I can even change lenses if I choose. Should have bought a pair like this years ago. My wife tried them on when she went running and I ended up buying her a pair of pink ones a week later so I could get mine back! The glasses also have held up admirably in the field on two separate backpacking trips. Would purchase these again in a heartbeat. Incidentally, my head is on the small side and found glasses hard to fit or look too large. These fit and look perfect on my head and equally good on my friends with average sized heads. Probably look great on alien heads too...
i have only used mine for a day seeing as i just got them. i love them. these are the perfect blend or casual sunglasses and performance. i have a pair of m frames and a pair of gascans that will probably collect dust now that i have the flak jackets. the frame it so versitle and can adapt to anyhting, literally, you need. its worth the dough
im just an average guy, but the lens were way small,,,,,exchanged for flak XLJ and they are better, but could still be larger,,,,wouldnt reccomend these 'cept for people with very small faces
these sunglasses are incredible. i got them because i was tired of cheap lenses and frames. i wear these things every day, and i never let them out of my sight.
The glasses are awesome. Very comfortable. Typical Oakley quality. The hydrophobic coating repels water and sweat better than previous generations of Oakley lenses. I did switch to polarized lenses, but that is a personal preference.
