Oakley Men's Flak Jacket XLJ Sunglasses Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have always loved Oakley sunglasses and have worn them for 10 years.My primary pair for the last 4 years has been a pair of black/grey Half Jacket XLJs.I ordered these red Flak Jacket XLJs because I liked the frame color and the overall design is similar to the Half Jacket.There is no Oakley store near my home so I did not have a chance to see the glasses before I ordered them.I got two surprises when my order arrived from Extreme-O.First of all, the "VR28 Black Iridium" lenses are actually a reddish brown color.I had thought they would be black, as the name implies.My second surprise was that the glasses arrived packed in a Flak Jacket XLJ soft vault case.The case alone is sold for $30.

I am not sold on the lens color, yet.They make the world look a little rosy.However, I can't argue with getting the glasses and case for $108 (plus $5 shipping).All and all I feel as if I got my money's worth.I would have given these glasses a 5 star rating had the lenses been darker.In the end, I'll likely get used to the color of the lenses.

Product Description:
The XLJ Flak Jacket Sunglasses feature lenses that are slightly larger lens than the standard Flak Jacket to give you more protection from the sun's nasty rays. If you're trail running and you need greater visual contrast, swap out the Flak Jacket's lenses to suit your lighting conditions in a matter of seconds. Unobtanium rubber temples and nosepiece get grippier as you sweat to keep your glasses comfortably snug on your head. When your sporting endeavors take you into less-than-favorable conditions, Oakley's hydrophobic lens coating repels water, oils, and even dust.
