While the Oakley Flak Jacket might resemble the popular Half Jacket designs, there's more to the innovations than a redesigned frame. The Flak Jacket represents a new generation of Oakley 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 lenses easier to change than the Half Jackets, it's 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. Like the Oakley Half Jackets, the Flak Jacket has a featherweight O Matter® frame with Unobtainium earsocks, and the proven three-point fit. Unobtainium tends to grip more when wet, so you don't have to worry about your Flak Jackets giving you the slip before you reach the finish line.
These are great casual sunglasses
I have the Livestrong version and I love them. I switch the lenses with the clear ones when I bike in the dark in the morning. Then I use the regular lens when I bike home in the early evening. They are also great looking sunglasses for the weekend. I like them better than the half jackets.
Very good experience
These are without a doubt, the best sunglasses I've ever owned. I was hesitant to spend this much on sunglasses, but am glad I did. I don't have to worry about them falling off, as they "grip" very well without hurting. They were shipped quickly & all in all, I was very happy with the experience with Altrec.
Great sunglasses for active people
I am an active runner, golfer, and cyclist. I have used Oakley products for years and continue to find them among the best. The flak jacket is a great system. The lenses are clear and lightweight. The frame is great and stays in place even when you get sweaty. I also plan on buying different lenses to swap out for different light conditions.

Great fit, great optics
I am an avid mountain biker and I have tried several different sunglasses. I have had a problem with depth perception at high speed with other glasses, but these performed great. This is my first Oakley experience and I am sold!
Lightweight, sporty, functional, stylish
I have the polished rootbeer with polarized lens. They look great and feel great! They light and sporty - great for the long bike rides. I wear them all the time because they are fashionable sunglasses as well. Have gotten great comments on them! Altrec is the best website to buy your Oakleys! They have great customer service and also ship very promptly. All around a fantastic product from an awesome company!!
great stylish sunglasses!
I have the Livestrong Flak sunglasses which I use for commuting by bike. I like them because they are comfortable and fit better than the half jackets. I also have a clear pair of lenses so I can ride both in the morning and then swap them out for the grey lenses in the afternoon.
On the fence?
Greatest pair of shades I've ever owned, hands down. I was a little skeptical of buying them "online" but I'm glad I did. They are about cheaper here than buying them in the store, and these particular shades come with a case that is $40 in the store. They weigh about as much as in ink pen, sit farther off your eyes (if your like me and have long eyelashes this is great), and the lens is much easier to change on this pair as opposed to the straight jacket. If your thinking if it's worth it, IT IS.
Great clarity
My biggest problem with sunglasses is my eye lashes rubbing the inside of the lens. These fit perfect and I have had no issues with this problem.
Awesom Sunglasses
I'm a big fan of these. I especially like the anti-static invisible coating they have been treated with. Sometimes with smith sunglasses and other polarized lens, I've noticed that they attract a high degree of dust, and that dust really stands out when you're wearing them. With the oakley flaks, it actaully repells the dust so the lens' are always spec free. This is a huge plus for anyone who is a type A personallity and/or comletely anal when it comes to sunglass lens clarity.
Metallic red, fire polarized.
Just fabulous glasses. Comfortable and super clarity and contrast. Great looking too, and I own a lot of sunglasses.
a pair of very decent sunglasses
The design of the carbon fiber frame just wasn't my taste but that's just aesthetics. Besides that the, lenses was up to par as other Oakleys I have bought. I would also suggest getting the regular flak jacket as oppose to the xlj if your nose is narrower.
