STRAIGHT JACKET Grey Smoke/Black Iridium (04-327)

STRAIGHT JACKET Grey Smoke/Black Iridium (04-327)

h2. STRAIGHT JACKET Sunglasses Oakley made STRAIGHT JACKET sunglasses for those who understand that style is something you define yourself — it’s not the world’s idea of how you should look. If you need the world’s opinion, STRAIGHT JACKET isn’t meant for you. The first design was created more than a decade ago, and it blended the art of Oakley with the science of precision optics. This latest edition combines aggressive styling with the best technologies ever to dominate light rays. We optimized the lenses with a permanent coating called Oakley HYDROPHOBIC™ that maintains a smudge-resistant barrier against skin oils, sunscreens and lotions, and even repels dust and dirt. That’s in addition to repelling water and preventing wet sheens from corrupting your point of view. You also get the unbeatable clarity of HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) including patented technologies like XYZ OPTICS® for crystal clear vision along the entire lens contour. The optics are so sharp, they exceed all ANSI Z87.1 standards. Protection meets ANSI Z87.1 standards for both high-velocity and high-mass impact, and the pure PLUTONITE® lenses filter out 100% of all UVA, UVB, UVC and harmful blue light up to 400nm. The durable, lightweight O MATTER® frame utilizes soft UNOBTAINIUM® components to increase grip with perspiration. It’s all part of a Three-Point Fit that holds the lenses in precise optical alignment and offers all-day comfort. STRAIGHT JACKET is available with a range of options including IRIDIUM® lens coatings that balance light and reduce glare, lenses ACTIVATED BY TRANSITIONS® to darken in response to light, and even the best polarized lenses on the planet. The frame can be fitted with Oakley prescription lenses. Durability and all-day comfort of lightweight, stress-resistant O MATTER® frame material Comfort and Performance of Three-Point Fit that holds lenses in precise optical alignment Optical precision and impact resistance meet ANSI Z87.1 optical and basic impact standards UV protection of PLUTONITE® lens material that filters out 100% of UVA / UVB / UVC & harmful blue light up to 400 nm Includes Oakley's proprietary smudge proof HYDROPHOBIC™ coating which resists water, oils perspiration and dust Patented hydrophilic UNOBTAINIUM® earsocks and nosepads ensure a snug, secure fit, and increase grip with perspiration Metal icon accents Designed for medium faces Glare reduction and tuned light transmission of IRIDIUM® lens coating Available with Oakley prescription lenses (+2.00 through -4.00 combined power)

Nice pair for everyday
Date: October 29, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Optimal clarity

This is a great style for everyday use, I must really like them since I own 4 other pairs myself. The fit is good and the optics are what you would expect from Oakley. Not sure if I would use them in any outdoor activity other than golf. Having the Oakley HYDROPHOBIC coating is a plus. Nice to see all the color combos in the Custom versions now too.

My first Oakleys and it doesn't get any better. Had Bollle, Maui Jim, Nike before, nothing compares to this. Perfect fit. I had them custom made with Gold Iridium Polarized lenses and it is a pleasure to put them on. Absolutely perfect!

Good Sunglasses
Date: September 27, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Durable
Cons: odd frame size

The Oakley Straight Jacket sunglasses were my first Oakleys and also my first "High End" sunglasses purchase. Overall, these are good sunglasses. They are very durable and come with all the pros of Oakley, including the tough lenses and good frames. Despite this, the sunglasses look gigantic on my face and are not what some people may consider "Stylish." However, overall, they are good sunglasses. It all really depends on the person.

Disappointing lens
Date: August 10, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Optimal clarity

I bought these because they fit very nicely on me which is not always easy since I have a wide face. They're great for sports (I play basketball and MTB in these) because they don't fall or move around.

I'm very disappointed, however, by the lens which lost it's coating after 2 wears. For a +$100 pair of sunglasses, the coating shouldn't come off so easily. I had to rub away all the coating so that it didn't distort my vision.

I'm hesitant to buy another pair of Oakleys, which is too bad since they fit very well and look awesome.

Pros: Comfortable, Optimal clarity

These glasses fit well and protect your eyes while still giving clarity, I served in the military for 8 years and have worn many sunglasses/eye protection including multiple Oakley models and so I've had these for about 2 years and love them.

Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity, No glare

Yearning to break free from the shackles of the prescribed status quo? The Straight Jacket is a great first step. Styling is a blend of Sandinista sophisticate with a twist of post-grunge urban guerilla panache. These things are the heat! One of my favorite frames, this version is the best yet - - great fit and “cool as the other side of the pillow” style. A hybrid, it masterfully blends the Lifestyle line’s full frame aesthetics and styling cues with the Performance line’s unobtanium adhesion. The polished black/black iridium is the gold standard with a “G-Man” edge, and right on its heels is the grey smoked/black iridium with its subdued metropolitan vibe. A buddy of mine pointed me to the custom shadow camo frame. Pair it with an emerald iridium lens and transform yourself into the modern incarnation of the late 60s TV crime fighter - - The Green Hornet.

Picture Perfect???
Date: June 25, 2009
Pros: Comfortable

Don't expect them to look like the picture shows. More than likely they won't have the same colored lenses, and the color won't be what you see in the animated pictures.
