Whenever possible, we prefer to pack light. Pieces that can perform double- or even triple-duty are welcomed so we don’t have to travel with so much stuff. After all we’re saving energy for the move to the break. And that means the same set of glasses for the drive to the race and for the race itself. A long day of driving is best relieved with a set of polarized lenses, and the Oakley Flak Jacket Polarized is there with you, protecting your eyes from the harsh glare you can experience in the car and out on the race course.Oakley’s polarized lenses block glare and improve your vision in bright reflected light. Particularly distracting sources are those in front of and below you. Snow is obvious, but glare can also be harsh on the water, on the road, and from shiny cars on the road. The application here is similar to a Venetian blind for your lenses, with the horizontal lines blocking the glare. You’ll see better, and you’ll squint less. In the end you’ll be more rested because your eyes don’t have to work so hard to see.What makes Oakley polarizing different is that they figured out how to integrate the filter into their lenses without applying glue. Their competitors typically sandwich the filter between thin layers of lenses using clear glue. The glue is often the source of the slight distortion you experience when wearing some polarized glasses. Another plus of Oakley polarizing is they make both the right and left lenses at the same time and cut them out in parallel pieces so the filter lines up exactly the same way for both eyes. This is one less piece of optical information for your eyes and brain to adjust to; another reduction in eye strain.The Oakley Flak Jacket Polarized comes with a Polished Black frame and 00 Red Iridium lenses. 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.

Sport professionals demand nothing less than the best, and Oakley has answered the challenge for decades. World-class athletes have driven Oakley to create innovation after innovation, including interchangeable lens designs with unbeatable optical clarity. Flak Jacket takes that to the next level with the latest in performance technology.

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.
