Not happy with lens interchangability
Date: February 14, 2010
Pros: Comfortable, Optimal clarity, No glare Cons: not durable
Have had these glasses for at least three to four years now. I switch the lenses occasionally depending on what I am doing. Have probably done this not more than fifteen times. Lenses no longer fit properly or stay in place. There is a gap between the frame and the corner of the lens than cannot be eliminated.
Thought I would use these glasses for years, as I should be able to do so at the price. This has proved not to be the case.

Custom HalfJacket XLJ
Date: January 13, 2010
Pros: Comfortable, Optimal clarity, Stylish
At almost a month to receive my glasses, I was excited to wear them; they fit awesome and the lenses are perfect. Also, the bridge and nose are ideal. I can't wait to get on the golf course. I do, however, have a complaint with the customization, because the socks and nose pads are not fitted precisely, not the quality expected for "Custom."

Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity, No glare, didnt get them sooner
This glass is amazing! I bought some custom Half Jacket XLJ, and I love the way they look and feel. They are super light, and I cant even tell that im wearing them. These are awesome, and an upgrade from my fives 4.0. But all Oakleys are great. I love these. THANKS OAKLEY!!!

Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity, No glare Cons: Fogs up
The Half Jacket has been the best product I have used for my eyes. I even convinced my wife to stop buying drug store glasses and buy one great pair. We then purchases a set of Half Jackets for our aniversary two years ago and she has enjoyed them so much she just ordered a pair of Flak Jackets. I also just had a pair of Flak Jackets sent to me also for the Hydrophobic lens since the Half Jackets fog up.
My brother is also another person who solely wears Oakley and nothing else.
Many thanks to Oakley and the dedication into your optics!

Date: October 20, 2009
Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Optimal clarity, No glare
I love these sunglasses. They grab to your head unlike anything any other manufacturers have to offer. the sunglasses are perfectly simple. There are no bells and whistles that weigh the shades down, and everything about them is 100% functionality. The XLJ lenses have amazing coverage with great ventilation. The ability to swap out lenses quickly has saved me time and again as I use these for rowing, and conditions change daily. These sunglasses are so durable that they have become my beater pair, and still seem like they are new. The lenses scratch just like any other lens, but the frame won't scuff no matter what i do to it.

I have a pair of these with the carbon frame and the g30 lens. Carbon frame matches my carbon bike, and the G30 lenses are great for cycling in early morning or dusk riding. love them
