This is my third pair of Oakley sunglasses. Previously I had two pair of Minute 1.0 shades. The two pair had combined to last 10 years total with minor repairs. My lenses were getting scratched and it was time for new rubbers so I set on getting a new pair.
For those not intimately familiar with Oakley, they put out an outstanding product for the discerning consumer. If you are tired of $15 sunglasses that break at the slightest flex, or fed up with poor lens quality that gives you headaches at the end of a long day outside, then Oakley is for you.
To be honest, at first I was not totally sold on any new Oakley style. A lot has changed in four years since I bought my last pair (the design of which by the way was then already 6-7 years old and getting ready to be phased out). The more I looked however the more I decided I wanted a practical sport style, as opposed to a fashion style. I decided to get a pair of the Flak Jackets, with jet black frames and black iridium polarized XLJ lenses. The clarity is truly top notch. The “rubbers” (Unobtanium) on the nose pads and ear stems grips so well all the time even if you’re sweating. The fit feels like they are custom made. I especially like the wide open view of the XLJ lenses. The lenses extend further down to give greater coverage but they are not so huge as to get in the way or make you feel like you are wearing a ski mask. Oakley’s website will have way better descriptions of all the details, but sum it up to say I love the shades.
If you aren’t ready to spend good money on good sunglasses then you can go down to your gas station and pick out a pair right now that was made in China. Oakley definitely does not scrimp on quality and you get what you pay for. This will be evident the first time you wear them outside (and no, you cannot tell the full quality you are getting from inside the Sunglass Hut indoors). This is also my first pair of polarized lens in any sunglasses. Truly I could not be any more thrilled with my purchase. I continue to be a loyal Oakley customer.

I like to cycle a lot but while riding my face gets so sweaty that the sunglasses want to fall off of my head. These Oakley seem to stick to my head with very little movement. Most sunglasses that I have had in the past stick out on the sides, but this pair closes fits my head. The view is clear and they look real good. I great product.

The view thru these dark lenses is great! I love the way they feel and especially the way they look. They fit and feel better than all the other glassed I tried and I shopped around a lot. I like them so well that I talked my mom into buying a pair also. I would also like to add that both our orders arrived very promptly.

I own them, I have jumped in our pool a few times with them on and they are not damaged by the water and stay on. Plus Great for a full 12 hour shift in the sun. Best Sunglasses I have, Great Lens and Style

I have used these for now more than three years. I bought new lenses just yesterday, since I had abused the earlier ones pretty bad. Earlier I used to buy the cheap one and replace almost every three months. These polarized ones are really very comfortable. One should check for the perfect fit though at local store before buying it, since my wife could never find one model that fitted her well.
All in all it’s a gr8 sun glass.
