      Comments about Oakley Straight Jacket Polarized Sunglasses:

      After years and years of despising Oakley for their outrageous cost, I decided to give them a try with these Straight Jackets. I am so glad I did. From day one it was evident why they are on the pricey side; the lenses are fantastic.

      I also feel they are durable enough to take up mountains this summer all around Colorado, as well as multiple backpacking trips. They were one of the few I had tried on that I felt were up to the task.

      Comments about Oakley Straight Jacket Polarized Sunglasses:

      First, please encourage your friends and family to wear eye protection and sunscreen. Two people in my family have long-term skin and eye damage from the sun.

      Review:
      I've used this for 18 months in all sorts of activities up and down the west coast of the USA.

      Consider trying this if:
      - You have a wide head and wide cheeks. I wear a size 7 7/8 hat. This wraps on my face just right.
      - You want decent lightweight physical eye protection. Since it has a slight curved shape, it leaves less air gap for light, dust, and branches to enter. I wore this at elevation in the snow during the summer, in the sun, and I didn't need to add snow blinds to the sides.

      Uuuuuuuh, you might also want to know:
      - When in western WA state, rather humid, I could not wear these glasses for sports in forested areas or mixed weather. The snug fit didn't allow for a lot of air flow to clear the fogged lenses. In dry southern California, this is less of an issue.
      - I wouldn't say that these lenses are easy to scratch. They are plastic and have gotten scuffed with normal use.
      - My experience with product deterioration:
      After a year of use, the black laminate on the Oakley 'O' at the temple of the sunglasses fell off. Also, after using it ~200 days, the left hinge was noticeably looser. I use my left hand to equip/unequip it so the repetition is showing.

      Try it before you buy it.

I usto always buy cheep glasses but these were well worth it. i wore them on my tweleve day backpacking trip, and i wear them for work as a life guard and to water ski. i have never had a problem with them slipping because they rap all the way arround my head. they relly are great sunglasses
