Sport professionals demand nothing less than the best, and we’ve answered their challenge for decades. World-class athletes have driven us to create innovation after innovation, including interchangeable lens designs with unbeatable optical clarity.
Flak Jacket sunglasses take that to the next level with the latest in performance technology.
Convenience gets a performance boost with Transitions® SOLFX™ lenses. As sunlight brightens, the lenses darken to keep up. When sunlight is scarce, the lens color gets much lighter but never goes away — so you get enhanced depth perception in shaded areas and cloudy places. This unique edition of Flak Jacket comes with all the cutting-edge features that athletes demand.
Maintains, Sharp, Clear Vision:
Flak Jacket features Oakley Hydrophobic, a permanent lens coating that prevents rain and sweat from building up on the lens. It also repels skin oils and other contaminates, so the lens is smudge resistant and easy to keep clean. It even eliminates static electricity, so dirt and dust particles won’t cling.
Stays Ahead of the Sun:
Flak Jacket lets you change lenses in seconds to optimize vision in any sport environment. Multiple lens colors are available, and all lenses feature the unbeatable clarity of Oakley’s High Definition Optics® (HDO®).
Offers a Secure, Custom Fit:
Choose the nose pads that give you the best fit — two sizes are included with every frame. Like the stem sleeves, they’re made of Unobtainium® to increase grip with perspiration. Oakley’s Three-Point Fit optimizes comfort and holds the lenses in precise optical alignment for superior clarity.
Optimizes Comfort, Protection and Clarity:
Flak Jacket is made of lightweight O Matter® for all-day comfort. Pure Plutonite® lens material filters out 100% of all UV, and Flak Jacket meets ANSI Z87.1 standards for impact protection. The semi-rimless design means there’s no frame rim to block downward view. Optical clarity exceeds all ANSI Z87.1 standards, and XYZ Optics® extends razor-sharp vision all the way to the lens periphery.

Angles. It's all about the angles. The Oakley Flak Jacket XLJ Iridium takes the same exact frame as the Flak Jacket, but has a slightly larger, more squared-off XLJ lens. So you get all the same features, only with a little more coverage for larger faces.
As with the standard Flak Jacket, the XLJ is all about sport, and it's all about lifestyle. It looks and works just right whether you're groveling in your drops or kicking back with a cold one. This kind of multi-purpose use is appealing for the simplicity it affords.
The Flak Jacket has an O Matter frame for lightweight, durability, and comfort, and the Unobtanium nose piece and ear socks help make the three-point fit as secure as wearing full-face goggles. High Definition Optics on Plutonite lenses offer great clarity, and to keep them that way, Oakley coats the lenses with a hydrophobic and oleophobic solution. These are features on all of Oakley's sport glasses; they haven't skimped just because the look here is fashionable. And being both sporty and fashionable is what the Flak Jacket is about.
The Oakley Flak Jacket XLJ Iridium comes in a Matte White frame with Jade Iridium lenses. Jade has a neutral green base with a mirror coating for sunny days; it allows 17% light transmission. It comes with a hard case and a soft bag, the latter for cleaning and stowing the glasses in a pocket. There are also two sets of nose pieces to customize the fit.

Oakley Flak Jacket XLJ Reviews:
Reviews:
These are my favorite sunglasses for any active use. They are super lightweight and they look awesome. I have them in black with the fire iridium lens and they're perfect for any type of sunny day. I generally use these when running on the road or trail as well as every hike I do. They hug my face and nose enough so that they don't slip at all. In fact, the more you sweat, they tend to "stick" to you even better.
I don't change the lenses on mine very often, but if you want to, it's easy enough to do. This opens up your options a lot and allows you to use these for really any situation. I have an average sized face, and these fit very well. I also love the XLJ lens as it's just a little bit bigger than the regular, offering that much more protection from the sun.
It's with good reason you can find the Flak Jacket in the peloton up on the Col du Tourmalet, as well as perched atop foreheads in the Whole Foods produce section. It's rare enough that a frame offers a universal fit and style (sporty, without being overly aggressive) with enough engineering to satisfy the needs of a pro cyclist just as much as a pro dog walker, but the Flak Jackets deliver. They don't feel overly sporty, nor do they underperform, ensuring they're never out of place in any activity - already an easy mainstay in my collection.
* while all Flak Jacket frames are the same size (with exception to the "asian fit"), the XLJ lenses feature a slightly wider lens profile
* granted, this is an interchangeable lens system, but it's much trickier than the PIVLock or Interlock systems from Smith, or the vastly superior Switchlock tech found in the Oakley Jawbones
I got my first pair of Flak Jackets as a door prize gift and loved them! They fit my face well and look good! I bought another pair a year later because my lenses got all scratched up from taking them through canyons. I would use the old pair for canyoneering and the new pair for driving and day use. They were so stylish that 2 of my friends also bought them! I will definitely buy another pair when the time comes to replace the ones I have now!
I have the black iridium and I love them. They don't cut glare as well as polarized lenses, but the clarity is amazing. I dropped them and put an idiot scratch in the corner of the lens, but I don't notice it when I'm wearing them. I'm going to fix that when I'm ready to order prescription lenses, since age is attacking my eyesight. They don't slip when I'm sweaty, which is a huge plus.
These glasses are sweet because they are comfortable to wear all day, offer a variety of lenses and block the wind fairly well. As a kit, they have the soft case with space for extra lenses so you can have a lens for any light condition. They wrap well without causing any hot spots from pinching, and the rubber contact points make sure they don't slip.
Love 'em. This is my second pair of Flak Jackets. The only reason I bought a second pair is because I lost the first ones. This is my first experience with the XLJ lenses and for me they are a big improvement. I guess I have a big head. Field of view with these lenses in physical activity is improved and vision clarity is unbelievable.
These are the first and only sunglassed I can golf in...others move, streak, or don't cover the full visual field. FYI golfers, my wife is an eye doctor and was busting my balls about macular degeneration (risk factor, not cause) and cataract risks from sun exposure...esp if you have light colored eyes..wear them or learn to wear them. I got the transitions g40 lenses. Perfect!
I love these sunglasses hands down. Oakley has it figured out with the fit and styling. You can do any kind of activity without having to worry about them slipping or falling off your head. My only complaint is the price. Seems a bit high for some nicely configured plastic, but overall they are worth it.
These are great sunglasses, you can change the lenses very easily. It also comes with a hard shell case in which you can add the extra pair of lenses.
I wouldn't recommend these glasses for biking or for running as they fogs up especially in the rain and in winter.
Overall great glasses, extremely good quality
I have an array of lenses (clear, persimmon, vr28, ice iridium, and a polarized lens). They are all super clear and serve their purpose well. The fit is good and the lenses are easy to change. I also really like the case. I've had the glasses for 4+ years. Still holding up well.
