Polarized WATER JACKET Jet Black/Black Iridium (04-678)

Polarized WATER JACKET Jet Black/Black Iridium (04-678)

h2. Polarized WATER JACKET Sunglasses HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) combines patented optics and PLUTONITE® lens material that provides 100% UV filtering and unsurpassed impact protection. We took the formulas for lens rake and XYZ OPTICS®, trimmed the dimensions and honed the aesthetics. Condensed cranial geometry produces eyewear for smaller faces-because wind, UV and projectiles don't sidestep the challenge of tighter targets. Optical acuity remains full scale with a wide-screen peripheral view. Wind and water are a formula for liquid shrapnel. That's why the glare reduction and high contrast of our vented lenses are protected against droplet buildup with a specially formulated hydrophobic coating. A restraint system anchors the frames when you hit the swells, and rogue waves only increase the adhesive properties of their UNOBTAINIUM® nosebombs and earsocks. Each kit includes hydrophobic treatment solution, H2O strap, micro clear bag and a protective case. Our polarized lenses are specially engineered to block the blinding rays of glare that are magnified by flat surfaces such as snow, water and pavement. Oakley polarization technology utilizes a liquid infusion process to bond the polarizing filter at the molecular level. That's how we eliminate the haze and distortion found in conventional technologies and achieve the best polarized optics on the planet.

Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity, No glare

Ive used these while Surfing and Kayaking. The Drains are great to have especially when getting water enveloping your face. The hydrophobic solution is also a great accessory. Nothing but great comments for these.

An accessorized Racing Jacket
Date: May 22, 2009
Pros: Durable, Optimal clarity

There are certainly similarities between the Racing Jacket and Water Jacket. But upon closer inspection, the Water Jacket is actually the same frame but with a slash strap, larger nosebomb and vented lenses. If you look under the nosebomb, you will even see the Racing Jacket logo. However, you do get a nice large padded case and bottle of hydrophobic solution, so the perks are certainly there.

None of this takes away the functionality in any case, and they remain a great pair for demanding activities. The solution works as advertised and keeps the water beading off the lenses, so you never lose the perfect vision provided by the HDO lenses.
