      Comments about Oakley Flak Jacket XLJ Sunglasses:

      I wear these while cycling long distances. They're quality sunglasses, but I wouldn't cry if I dropped and scratched them like I would a more expensive pair. They do a great job keeping the wind from my eyes, and I can see great in these. I have a high contrast lens for night riding and darker ones for those sunny, Southern days. I have worn similar Oakleys on kayaking and similar trips in Hawaii, and I plan to bring these with me when I return there this year. Being a tall, medium-build female, I do find these just a tiny bit too big (which is why I didn't opt for the Radar instead), but the flexibility of the lens changing and the look of these is great. One thing to note: These fog up more than I prefer (when stopped), but I think switching lenses to the non-XLJ will help that.

        Comments about Oakley Flak Jacket XLJ Sunglasses:

        What can I say? They're an Oakley! These are fantastic for outdoor pursuits...and have the best lenses of anything I know of out there. They are rugged, yet elegant. If you want the best for your eyes, pick up a pair of these and see the difference...and understand why Oakley's are truly the best. :)
