Polarized FLAK JACKET Jet Black/Black Iridium (12-900)

Polarized FLAK JACKET Jet Black/Black Iridium (12-900)

h2. Polarized FLAK JACKET 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)

Bought for everyday use but I play in a mens baseball league and a co-ed softball league. Work my gear relatively hard and it keeps up with me every step of the way

Most Versatile Sunglasses
Date: August 19, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity

I own four other Oakley sunglasses, and these are the best I've purchased. Although the price may seem steep, they are totally worth it.

I have used this sunglasses for just about every occasion (i.e. driving, ultra running, biking, chillin' at the pool, weddings, funerals, etc). They fit right, are so light that you can barely feel them on your face, perform well and look great.

One of the coolest features on them is the "hydrophobic" lens. Even when water drops hit them, they drop right off without smearing the lens.

Best sunglasses I've ever owned!
Date: July 11, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Optimal clarity, No glare, lightweight

I was questioning myself in the store whether or not I was really about to spend $195 on sunglasses... But I went through with it and I can honestly say I did not feel one ounce of buyers remorse... These are lightweight, jet black and the lenses are very clear... My pair came with the hard carry case and a cleaning kit and I baby these sunglasses to the max... I don't have much to say about their durability because I handle these like they are Plutonium and I have yet to drop them and I hope I don' t (knock on wood)... These are by far the best sunglasses I have ever owned and I highly doubt that any pair I buy in the future won't be Oakley... Worth every penny =]

Date: June 10, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Optimal clarity, No glare, great looking

I just bought these glasses and have to say they are great! They stick to my head no matter what I do, from road biking to running to going fishing they can do it all.

They are very light and look really good on my rather smallish face.
