      Comments about Oakley Half Jacket XLJ Sunglasses - Polarized:

      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 Sunglasses - Polarized:

        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.

            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 Sunglasses - Polarized:

              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 Sunglasses - Polarized:

              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.
