Comments about Oakley Half Jacket XLJ Polarized Sunglasses:
I find them very comfortable and stylish. They have great peripheral vision and coverage and don't allow sunlight through the top. Lenses don't cause any distortion; some of the clearest I've worn.
The polarization seems to be at 45 degrees. This allows better use of electronic devises with screens but doesn't seem to cut down on glare as well as other brands I've worn.

Comments about Oakley Half Jacket XLJ Polarized Sunglasses:
I spend a great deal of time outdoors everyday. These glasses work great in all my outdoor activities from mountaineering to coaching track & field. They always stay on even when sweating heavily. They can fog in extreme situations, but a quick wipe with a fog cloth fixes that problem. The polarized lenses are essential for driving too. My dog chewed on them and only popped out one temple piece. I Just popped it back in and they were good as new. I replaced a pair once after going over the handle bars on my mountain bike. Otherwise I've only needed to replace them when they have been misplaced.

Comments about Oakley Half Jacket XLJ Polarized Sunglasses:
The best glasses I have ever owned. They have lasted through many backpacking trips as well as working on a table saw cutting stone. Great for snow travel. Very comfortable. The one downfall is after a while the rubber on the sides begins to wear down and get sticky and needs to be replaced.

RE: the review above that they are "a little tight around the head"
oakley offers sunglasses with "asian fit" that are significantly wider around the temples and offer a bit more support on the nose bridge

Comments about Oakley Half Jacket XLJ Polarized Sunglasses:
The best thing about these glasses are the interchangeable lenses as well as there light weight. I can wear them all day without them hurting my face. I purchased the glasses originally with the polarized black lenses for bright sun and water (kayaking, snowboarding, etc). I have since purchased a medium tint brown for lower light conditions as well as the yellow iridium for very low light. I like the yellow for night driving to reduce eye strain of oncoming traffic as well as using them for safety glasses because they meet or exceed all safety glass standards.

Comments about Oakley Half Jacket XLJ Polarized Sunglasses:
Love the look. These things are tough and stylish. The Polarized lenses are darker though, so these are definitely for midday use. I only have one good eye, so protection is a major consideration for me. Wish I would have gotten some lighter lenses for early morning and twighlight uses.

Comments about Oakley Half Jacket XLJ Polarized Sunglasses:
These are the best sunglasses I've ever owned. I wear them everywhere: driving, running, skiing, hiking, climbing, on the water, or just to work or walking around. The replacable lenses allow you to switch in and out; I have a clear pair for night skiing. I've owned mine about three years, and have no intention of buying another pair until these break or fall apart.

Comments about Oakley Half Jacket XLJ Polarized Sunglasses:
I loved these so much I bought a second pair to have some variety. I have the fire lenses as well as the black lenses. The black lenses offer a very clear image. I drive a lot and these lenses reduce the glare and make my drives more enjoyable. In the past Oakley has had a problem with the frames stretching out, I don't find that happening with these frames.
