Product Description

The Oakley Half Jacket Polarized Sunglasses are Oakley's first dual-lens eyewear with interchangeable lenses. This chameleon lets you adapt instantly to any light condition. Polarized lenses cut horizontal glare out like no other lens can, making them perfect for boating, driving, and all water sports. When the sun fades, switch to a new set of lenses and change your entire outlook on life. Accented with true metal icons, the lightweight O Matter frame includes Unobtainium earsocks and grip anchors. The open-edge design extends your vertical field of vision, and each set of lenses retains the peripheral clarity of XYZ Optics. *Replacement lenses sold separately.

Voted 5/5

Damn, been climbing in the VR28 Oakley lens for ever...problem is I broke both pair of my full metal jacket VR28s on climbing outing within a month of each other and had been climbing in these same two pair for years. Of course Oakley can't stand to keep a good thing going, so no more Full Metal Jacket which I prefer....worse thing was finding a reasonable small Oakley design with polarized lens that was any good for climbing. Most lens tints are way to dark and don't function well in corners and shade when on the rock. That VR28 was the ticket until I found these Amber Black Iridium. Tremendous contrast which is a must when climbing and scouting out the smallest of features. Cheers.

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.""   --Rene Daumal
