STRAIGHT JACKET (Asian Fit) Polished Black/Black Iridium (04-325J)

STRAIGHT JACKET (Asian Fit) Polished Black/Black Iridium (04-325J)

STRAIGHT JACKET (Asian Fit) Sunglasses Designed to compliment Asian facial anatomy in both fit and comfort. Oakley made STRAIGHT JACKET® 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 sunglasses 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, and even the best polarized lenses on the planet. The frame can be fitted with Oakley prescription lenses.

Pros: Comfortable, Durable, No glare, unobtanium
Cons: Fogs up

The design take cues from monster dog and is a nice change. The side accents by the icons add a bit more character.
For myself the regular fit feels snug, while this asian fit is just perfect. although the nosebridge looks like its hanging above my nose and creates an awkward gap, it's still worth it for such an incredible performance and comfort.
The unobtanium on both the earstems and nosebridge does lend itself to stick stronger to your face in addition to the 3-point fit.
As such, the design can make it blend in the casual eyewear scene while still standing out from the masses, but it's also on the ready for some sporty action.
As always, the permanent hydrophobic is just another monster reason to make this a very functional but still sleek sunglasses.
The polarized brings it to a whole higher plateau. No blinding glares are going to hold you back.
The wrap and rake and orbital size does make it more resistant to windy pressure, and also virtually eliminates light leakages if you have the face for it.
One gripe though is that because of less flowing air between the lens and your eyes, it can cause the lens to fog up easier when you get out of a air-conditioned car for example. However, I have noticed that the fog itself does not make vision or recognition of objects as uncertain as a non-hydrophobic model. Also the fog clears up faster too compared to non-hydrophobic lenses.
All said and done, it just looks sleek and fast and performs as such.
