Polarized STRAIGHT JACKET Matte Black/Grey (24-124)

Polarized STRAIGHT JACKET Matte Black/Grey (24-124)

Polarized 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.

The stems and hinges look a bit weak, but the fit is excellent and the polarization and visibility exceeds expectations. Excellent value for the money.

For the Price, Great Deal
Date: July 30, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity, No glare, prevents wind in eyes

I just received these the other day and I'm already very satisfied with them. They fit great, cut the glare perfectly without detriment to visual quality, very rugged despite how light they are. I really can't say enough about how great things still look with these glasses on. It seems the market equivalent to what Oakley has done with their lenses is to just tint the heck out of the lenses. However, this causes colors and overall image quality to drop significantly. With these lenses everything looks exactly the same as when you're not wearing them, but the glare and brightness are toned way down. All-in-all, just a great product for the price.

Pros: Comfortable, Optimal clarity, No glare
Cons: weak hinges

These sunglasses are a great compromise between sport and casual. First thing I said when I put them on was "wow!" glare is almost non existent and everything seems so clear. They fit on my face perfectly and look great too. the only negative i have found is that the hinges feel a little flimsy, as long as you take care of them they should be fine. They are worth every penny!
