 Great Sport / Active Sunglasses, Bad Scratch ResistanceJul 25, 2010
I have owned three pairs of these in the Asian Fit model. I have a wider head and it has always been tough to find good-fitting sunglasses and I love the fit of these so much I keep buying them despite the fact that the lenses on the Half-Jacket Iridium (both polarized and non) are not very durable at all. I wish that Oakley would upgrade their lens manufacturing process so that the lenses are more durable and more scratch resistant.
Pros:
Lightweight, durable frames with no metal parts that can be bent or screws that can fall out. The frames' temples (parts that hold the lenses and front frame to the head) attach to the front frames via a squeeze/clip hinge that allows the whole thing to just fall apart if sat on, crushed or otherwise contorted. I rock climb, bike, surf, ski and much more with these glasses and other than the really poor scratch resistance of the lenses these things are virtually indestructible.
Cons:
Lenses scratch VERY easily and are VERY expensive to replace.
 Killer sunglassesJul 04, 2010
Excellent glasses. Comfortable, light-weight and they help me look good. Bought through Amazon at below retail price.
Oakley Half-Jacket's ShineMay 20, 2010
With a simple yet stylish design, the Oakley Half-Jacket's carry themselves well in a crowded sunglass market. As for me, I'm impressed by this pair - it personifies my active lifestyle, keeping everything within sight and life short and simple, and ultimately, sexy. I keep myself busy, and run often - so far, the glasses themselves do a wonderful job of providing eye protection against the harsh California/Florida sun. Without the glasses stopping the glare, tackling a half-marathon blind would be a daunting task.
Question is: How do they stand up? Aesthetically, I've commented that they are quite pleasing to the eye. However, construction-wise, I think the engineers at Oakley hit the spot. The main purpose of the glasses for me will be for outdoor situations, and the build seems rugged enough to handle the rigors, and wear and tear of strenuous play. As a previous owner of some Oakley Whiskers, there is a difference: as much as I loved those glasses too, I felt they weren't suited for the type of recreational running activities I am accustomed in doing. And unfortunately, the Whiskers were stolen.
Now, the situation is more like a blessing in disguise, and I sport these Half-Jackets. Not only are they more affordable, but they are great in balancing my on-the-go persona while keeping my eyes in wonderful shape.
The Half-Jacket is a definite must buy!
Very Nice GlassesApr 06, 2010
I ordered these pair of glasses because my half jacket silver with iridium lenses (silver frame with light blue lenses) is showing its age. I got a whisker type Oakley as a gift last Christmas but feel that I enjoy the plastic versions better. I got them from the mail today and so extremely satisfied with it. I picked the rootbeer color with same color frame and gold emblem. It fits my face perfectly and I like the new color. The lenses are great but I'm still getting used to the rootbeer lens color. I'm asian and these glasses are snug, they really hug my face and they are very light. You really have to pick the style that fits your face in order to really be satisfied with the Oakley glasses. So far I have 4 Oakleys including a frame for my prescription glasses.
I was a Ray Ban guy but I like Oakleys better. Great quality glasses, would buy again.
Outstanding sun glassesMar 03, 2010
very nice pair of sunglasses for shade/sun hiking or biking, driving or looking cool outside. clarity of vision with these are outstanding, construction is good, look is very noticeable (i got the flame lenses with black frames). especially good for rock climbing, i discovered, as i can see every little depression in the rock.
