Great for Running -
The Oakley Flak Jacket is outstanding for running. Many other sunglasses are too heavy or unbalanced and thus bounce on your nose. The Flak Jacket stays put on the run. With the exception of the M-Frame, this is the only model that stays where you want it and is the best I've worn. I can't speak for other brands since I'm partial to Oakley. Looks good, too!

Fantastic Golf Sunglasses -
I recently bought Oakley's Flak Jacket XLJ in black with the G30 Golf Specific Iridium Lens. They are great! I am a woman and the fit on these sunglasses is perfect - absolutely no slipping no matter how much I perspire. The optical quality is top-notch. The lens is a pinkish iridescent-looking lens and is wonderful for golf. I actually feel like I can see more clearly with these sunglasses than without them. I previously wore Oakley's M-Frame with the same color lens, but it was a one-piece sweep lens and it cracked in half just above the bridge. Over the past 10 years I had 3 of them that broke. The last one broke within the 1-year warranty and Oakley replaced the lens within a week. I'm much happier with the Flak Jacket XLJ because it has 2 separate lenses and therefore will not have the same problem as the M-Frame. I had my new sunglasses in 2 days from Zappos. Zappos is the best, no matter what you order. This is the first time I ordered anything other than sneakers. I am amazed at the variety of products they have to offer and will continue to order from them in the future. P.S. If you are looking for a good pair of sunglasses for golf, these are the ones.

Oakley Flak Jacket XLJ Asian Fit -
I was hesitant to buy these because at time of purchase the regular fit was $40 less. I am SO glad I went with these! They fit great for my face! I get compliments on them a lot and when I go on bike rides they don't get stuck in the helmet straps like other sunglasses have before.
Buy these if you’re an Asian, you will not be disappointed! Whilst cooking I unfortunately swiped a lens across my oven's hood and a small "v" shaped scratch appeared! I hope to replace the lenses with polarized ones soon!
"A+"

Excellent glasses -
These glasses fit great. If you sweat, they actually gain grip power too. The lens does not permit water to remain on it...its coated with something that just sheds the water right off, so when I am in the pool, I can still see just fine. These lenses snap in/out so you can change them if needed (less tint or different color or even clear). These are NOT polarized although they do come in a polarized version. The lens size does a good job of blocking sun. I like them better than my Maui Jim Sport glasses.
Other brands recommended by reviewer: These come with a normal (non XJC lens) for a smaller look - or consider the Oakley BottleCaps

Best online experience ever!
Excellent customer service. Amazing price matching. Lightning fast shipping. I have made close to 10 purchases at Zappos.com and I have yet to come across anything that is even remotely negative.
I LOVE the personal cards I receive after each purchase.
THANK YOU ZAPPOS for making online shopping experience truly wonderful.

They’re real nice, best sunglasses I’ve ever owned...Zappos.com is real quick with the shipping (and no cost) and has great prices…the only thing is what (if any) kind of solution can you clean these glasses with? On the instructions it says don’t use any kind of cleaning solution because of the type of lens. Is there anything out there that wouldn't be harsh on the lens?

Best I've owned -
I bought the Flak Jackets about 2 weeks ago and all I can say is they are perfect for me. I hardly notice they are on and not once have they slipped. I bought them mainly for when I go out riding my mountain bike and I don't regret the purchase.
I strongly recommend these to anyone looking for multi purpose sunglasses.

Oakley has a winner here...
I wore the Half Jackets for 3 years and swore by them. Then I saw the Flak Jackets online. I bought a pair and have to say, they get compliments all the time. I went for the XLJ lens and they provide even more coverage then the Half Jacket XLJ lens. No more light leaking in on the sides or bottom. A perfect fit. The new lenses have a coating on them that really do resist sweat and water. It just beads off the lens. Get these! By the way, the service that Zappos provides is unbelievable. Quickest shipping EVER. I needed a replacement pair sent to replace a defective pair. Replacement order placed on Sunday, Monday was a holiday, Received Tues mid afternoon! Great job Zappos!

New lenses are great -
Good as ever Oakley’s now better with this new sports lens.
Rain, sweat, oils don't impair vision with these new glasses nearly as quickly as old fashioned technology. Great for active, outdoor use. Even in hot Florida.

 |  | Zappos.com is absolutely phenomenal! I can't even believe it. I just moved to NYC from FL. Found a "dress up" job and started immediately – not even finished unpacking. In as much as I haven't even opened all of the boxes yet, nor do I know what's in them anymore. When I was hired I had to think about professional wardrobe and find clothes and shoes in this chaos immediately. There are three boxes missing...one of them...all of my SHOES!!! Can you spell P-A-N-I-C???!!! I remembered a friend telling me about Zappos.com and then I saw your commercial on TV. I went through the inventory for something I could use with a lot of things cause money is tight and time is of the essence! I submitted my order close to midnight Tuesday night (two nights ago) and the shipment arrived in less than twelve hours! I couldn't believe it! I haven't even had time to open the box, but I'm not worried because with your incredible service and return policy, I'm not even worried. I wish you could have done my move!!! So now...you can bet, not only will I order all sorts of things including shoes from Zappos.com, I will tell all of New York City about it and how you absolutely put my mind at ease in a crisis situation. I'm not even worried anymore about my box of shoes. Of course I want them but I know I can jump online and viola! I will have my order. It's so easy, so fast and so fabulous after moving and traveling for seven weeks, I didn't think anything could be easy – especially buying shoes, which I can NEVER find my size (small woman, small feet), but I found exactly what I was looking for, ordered and received in less than twelve hours. It's fantastic! I hate shopping and I don't have to leave my apartment let alone walk anywhere to get exactly what I want in my size, color and style and have my purchase in my hot little hands in less than twelve hours with FREE DELIVERY!!! You guys saved my life and new job and gave me the best present ever! And FREE DELIVERY in a NY minute, literally. I was certain it couldn't be done. I was shocked and I never write testimonials but I had to write this one because if I didn't experience it for myself, I sure wouldn't believe it if someone told me this could happen. You can rest assured you have a new and loyal customer from here on in, and if I don't like my choice because I was in a panic, I can send them back hassle-free! ZAPPOS.COM IS AMAZING! It's like American Express - instead of "don't leave home without it" - it is "you don't have to leave home!" Thank you so much...you not only restored my faith, you sent me shoes with free delivery in a NY minute in NYC! I love you guys! |  | ~ Marcy L., September 13 2008
