Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity, No glare
Cons: can't wear more than one pair at a time

If you don’t own at least a half-dozen pair of Flak Jackets, then you are a complete idiot! I have many styles of Oakley’s, but for me, the Half Jacket was my go-to work horse. Then came the Flak Jacket. The lens size is about the same, but for some reason the Flak provides me more coverage. They are very comfortable and extremely light weight. I almost forget I am wearing them moments after putting them on. If you are considering your first pair, you can’t go wrong with the ‘murdered-out’ black on black with black iridium lenses. And don’t be fooled by the metallic red… they look so much better in person then they do in the picture. Then there’s the polished white or Livestrong editions, or heck, click on the custom option and build your own creation. Either way, you won’t be disappointed.
