Oakley Flak Jacket XLJ Sunglasses

Do you see shades of the Half Jacket XLJ in these Flak Jacket XLJs At a glance the contoured Flak Jacket frame seems to be the only significant difference but the Flak Jacket XLJ represents a new generation of sport eyewear performance The interchangeable lenses have a permanent hydrophobic lens that repels skin oil rain and sweat to optimize optical performance The lenses also resist smudges and clean easier than previous eyewear making the design better suited to endurance sports and extended climbing and backpacking While some people found the Flak Jacket XLJ lenses easier to change than the Half Jackets its all really a matter of getting used to changing lenses Like learning anything new changing the lenses the first time around takes an extra moment or two After that you can swap out lenses in a few moments and quickly adapt to new light conditions The XLJ lens design offers more vertical sweep or coverage than the standard Flak Jacket designs an essential feature for athletes with larger faces or those who tend to watch their foot placement more than others Like the Oakley Half Jackets the Flak Jacket XLJ has a featherweight O Matter frame with Unobtainium earsocks and the proven threepoint fit Unobtainium tends to grip more when wet so you dont have to worry about your Flak Jacket XLJs giving you the slip before you reach the finish line

  • Distinctly contoured and lightweight O Matter frame
  • New interchangeable Plutonite lenses exceed ANSI Z87.1 standards for optical performance and have a special hydrophobic finish that resists moisture and skin oils
  • Sized to fit medium to large faces
  • XLJ lenses offer more vertical eye coverage than standard Flak Jacket lenses
  • All Oakley lenses block 100% of UVA, UVB and UVC rays (plus blue light)
  • Unobtainium grips at nose and ear stems increase grip when damp
  • Patented XYZ Optics design
  • Note: The last time we checked Oakley's polarized lenses had a wider width than other non-polarized lenses, so don't interchange these two lens types on the same frame
  • Specially woven, electro-static storage bag included

all purpose sunglasses
I bought these to replace the Half Jacket XLJ Sunglasses that I lost on a trail run. They are definitely better than the Half Jackets. They cover the eyes better and they're a more comfortable fit. They're a little expensive but so far they are worth it.

Best Ones Yet!!
I own 4 pairs of OAKLEY sunglasses and these are my favorites by far! Great fit and performance that makes all other sunglass makers envious!

absolutley awesome
these glasses are insane, ive owned various $20 sunglasses over the past few years and finally bit the bullet. i bought the flak jackets after doing some research and i absolutley love them. everything from the lens coating to the fit of the glasses.
