Polarized FLAK JACKET XLJ Jet Black/Black Iridium (12-903)

Polarized FLAK JACKET XLJ Jet Black/Black Iridium (12-903)

h2. Polarized FLAK JACKET XLJ Sunglasses Sport professionals demand nothing less than the best, and we've answered their challenge for decades. World-class athletes have driven us to create innovation after innovation, including interchangeable lens designs with unbeatable optical clarity. FLAK JACKET sunglasses take that to the next level with the latest in performance technology. The lenses in this polarized edition of FLAK JACKET are engineered to block the blinding rays of glare that are magnified by flat surfaces such as snow, water and pavement. Oakley uses a liquid infusion process to eliminate the haze and distortion found with ordinary polarized lenses. Optimized with Oakley polarization, FLAK JACKET offers the best optical performance on the planet. MAINTAINS SHARP, CLEAR VISION FLAK JACKET features Oakley HYDROPHOBIC™, a permanent lens coating that prevents rain and sweat from building up on the lens. It also repels skin oils and other contaminates, so the lens is smudge resistant and easy to keep clean. It even eliminates static electricity, so dirt and dust particles won't cling. STAYS AHEAD OF THE SUN FLAK JACKET lets you change lenses in seconds to optimize vision in any sport environment. Multiple lens colors are available, and all lenses feature the unbeatable clarity of Oakley's HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®). OFFERS A SECURE, CUSTOM FIT Choose the nose pads that give you the best fit — two sizes are included with every frame. Like the stem sleeves, they're made of UNOBTAINIUM® to increase grip with perspiration. Oakley's Three-Point Fit optimizes comfort and holds the lenses in precise optical alignment for superior clarity. OPTIMIZES COMFORT, PROTECTION AND CLARITY FLAK JACKET is made of lightweight O MATTER® for all-day comfort. Pure PLUTONITE® lens material filters out 100% of all UV, and FLAK JACKET meets ANSI Z87.1 standards for impact protection. The semi-rimless design means there's no frame rim to block downward view. Optical clarity exceeds all ANSI Z87.1 standards, and XYZ OPTICS® extends razor-sharp vision all the way to the lens periphery. Interchangeable lenses to optimize performance in any environment Durability and all-day comfort of lightweight, stress-resistant O MATTER® frame material Optimized peripheral vision and side protection of 8.75 base lens curvature Comes standard with Oakley HYDROPHOBIC™/Oleophobic anti-smudge lens coating on all lens options Comfort and performance of Three-Point Fit that holds lenses in precise optical alignment Metal icon accents Optical precision and performance that meets all ANSI Z87.1 standards Impact resistance that meets all ANSI Z87.1 standards for high-mass and high-velocity impact UV protection of PLUTONITE® lens that filters out 100% of UVA / UVB / UVC & harmful blue light up to 400 nm Minimized glare via technology that produces the best polarized lenses on the planet Glare reduction and tuned light transmission of IRIDIUM® lens coating Multiple interchangeable UNOBTAINIUM® nose pad options for customizable and comfortable secure fit Protective sports-specific Oakley Soft Vault included with capacity for extra lenses Available with Oakley Prescription Lenses (+2.00 through -3.00 combined power)

Best sunglasses ever
Date: September 13, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Optimal clarity, No glare, sees through water surface
Cons: easily scratched

I worked at a water park in Gurnee, IL as a lifeguard. These sunglasses were perfect to see past the glare on the water to see that bottom of the pool. They were light enough that every once in a while, I would forget that I was wearing them or that I put them on my hat. The fit was also perfect. Prior sunglasses would be so tight on my head that i would begin to form a grove in my head just above my ears where my sunglasses would always lay. Also the grips on these sunglasses actually helped to keep these sunglasses on my face when I had to jump into the pool. Overall I'm very happy with these sunglasses and would recommend them to anyone looking for a good pair of sunglasses to use for lifeguarding, fishing or anything where they are looking at the surface of the water.

Pros: Comfortable, Optimal clarity, No glare, Stylish
Cons: Fogs up

I got them in jet black for the low profile look. They are sick glasses and I would definatley recomend these for a friend. They do fog up just a bit but not way to much. I guess I will find out more bout the fog when more snow falls next year. Overall I love these glasses and feel that I will be sticken with Oakley because of them.
