Oakley Half Jacket XLJ Sunglasses

5 Star Rating

Great Glasses

By Ranked #699 - Sunglasses November 29, 2008

I have these glasses with VR28 prescription lenses. I've never been a fan of Oakley sunglasses for their style. Personally, I think they all look rather futuristic...like something the designer came up with after watching a Star Trek episode. But, after trying the Half Jacket XLJs, I've come to use these glasses during all sorts of outdoor activities. I see them simply as a great piece of gear. Whether I'm mountain biking, rock climbing, snowshoeing, etc, these glasses shield my eyes from the sun, stick to my head, and provide a level of physical protection. Just like a good climbing helmet or an ugly pair of clip-in biking shoes, I will continue to use these...regardless of how rediculous I think I look in them. Of course, I wouldn't be caught dead in them at a social function.
