Very nice review, alot of info! I was wondering if you would recommend these for girls, I have been between getting the half jackets, flak jackets, and the oakley antix. The main purpose for me getting some oakley sunglasses is to be able to use them any where i am, whether it's on the field or just wearing them casually. So, your opinion would help alot. Thanks!
I have seen some women wearing the Half Jackets. If you like them, I recommend you get them! They are awesome glasses, and I think you'll be very happy with them!
Hi I really enjoyed your review. However I really would like to know what your sources were and stuff. I think your review was really good, and I was wondering what is the condition of your glasses now. Could you also go more into how to determine if the product is legit?
Good to see you enjoyed my review! So far, my half jackets are holding up very well. I spend a lot of time outside working, and my glasses get a lot of abuse. They still look brand new. One of the best ways to be able to tell that the pair of glasses is authentic is looking at the hinge. In many of the models, the hinge is actually incut into the frame, as i demonstrated in the video. There are many other ways to be able to tell. Try looking around online, that may be your best bet!
@Ch1neseI3oy a couple of other ways to tell is on one of the arms, the letters "ce" are embossed as well as "made in usa" on the other. My Juliets that I have are unmistakable just simply being that the actual model serial number is on the inner upper portion of the left arm that being 04-149. Your best bet is buying from an authorized dealer. You can find a lot of great deals on Oakleys on ebay, just do your research before bidding. My juliets came from ebay.
Thanks very much man! I couldn't have told it better myself! Excellent info you have there. I was never sure how you could tell with the metal frame models.
i made a custom of monster pups. i got them in the mail and they came with the same hard case. they are awsome! and i bought another pair couple days ago. (not custom though). on the custom i got i got them etched and polarized. they ended up costing me like $200.but yeah they are awsome. but the reason i got the same ones, is cuz they stopped producing the monster pups like 4 months ago
Yeah it does. I wound up with 2 hard cases though, one of them came with my glasses. I got my half jackets during a promotion they were running. If you get a custom pair, you got a free Oakley custom hard case. Hopefully they'll run it again, its a nice case they gave away.
no, i got them jet black/ black iridium lenses because thats just the look i like. i got them for 83$ dollars on a website with an oakley soft cloth and oakley soft vault in cluded in the 83$. the only bad thing about them is they aren't poarized, but i wouldnt go fishing in salt or freshwater in these sunglasses. i'm probally going to get some costas for for fishing and right now i use my oakleys for running crossountry every day for my highschool team and everyday normal use.
Dude I bought these and they're a bit small for my head. Most people tell me that they look good on me because they fit me perfectly but I'm not convinced on how they look on me. The Half Jackets are kick ass though, I don't regret buying them, I just regret having such a huge head lol.
well i would suggest a case because it does protect the glasses very well,and i have both the case and the bag but i use the case just to put them in at home and everywhere i take my glasses i have my bag to put them in from getting scratched and then if i get my glasses durty i use the bag to clean them,and no the bag does not scratch the lenses,cleaning the lenses is one of the bags purposes
If you're protecting them being scratched up then the bag is good enough, but if you put you glasses through rough conditions like throwing them around, leaving it on the floor, dropping them etc, then the case is your best bet.
Well, I couldn't really explain the sizing for you unfourtunately. My face is a bit on the narrow side, so mine fit very well, and comfortably. your best bet, is to try them on. I wouldn't really worry too much about the sizing though, because its designed to fit a variety of face shapes, comfortably. good luck with your pair!
The polarized lenses are really nice, expensive but nice. If you deal with a lot of glare, their well worth the premium you pay. For my usage of hiking, and climbing outside, they are fantastic.
I find that the tint is perfect for myself, its not too dark, nor too light for my liking. My eyes are also a bit on the sensitive side, so I need to be careful with my tints of lenses. Your best bet is to check them out for yourself at a nearby store that carries Oakley.
did u have to pay for the case? like when i jus made mine it asks if u wanna buy a case...does it come with a case if u dont buy it like yours? cuz oakley was outta stock of the black soft vaults
Well the black soft vault that I have, I paid for, but the custom case that you see in the review, I received complimentary for the engraving on my lens. When I bought my Half Jackets, they were running a promotion to receive the case free with lens engraving. I'm not sure if they're doing this anymore, but it wouldn't hurt to check!
I just ordered Half Jackets with a Polished Aluminum frame and Ice Iridium lenses. I was wondering if you were happy with your choice of the Ice Iridium lenses!
Yeah, however, when you look through them, the lens itself is gray. the ice iridium treatment is on the external section of the lens, so when the lens is looked at, it appears blue, but look through them, they're gray.
hey would you happen to know what XLJ means? or entails? Im just wondering cause I want to buy a pair for my bf but I dont know whats better?? please helpp!!
Hi ScionBX1123 do u have polarized lenses? And tell me please, what made u to choose matte black frame? I want to have jet black frame with ice iridium polarized lansed and with team blue icons. what u think ?
I chose the matte black frames because they were the ones that I thought looked the best for me. I'm not a fan of shiny frames myself. I don't have the polarized lenses, but they are really nice. The combination that you have picked out sounds like a pretty good combination to me! Hope you enjoy them!
Not Always! If you take and get the custom Oakleys, They were recently tossing in the custom case, free of charge. I don't know how long the deal is running for.
Well, I can certainly make one, I'll have to see if I can find a counterfeit pair, to demonstrate... There's a lot of ways to tell, but you need to know what to look for. One of them is how OAKLEY is spelled, many times on fakes its spelled OAKEY or something along those lines. Sorry for the poor camera quality, its my built in camera on my imac.
Well spoken. You're good at this. Because of you, I bought the Flak Jacket. However, there's a problem. Though the nose piece fit me well, the ear stems were too narrow.
So I tried the Asian Fit version because they said the ear stem would be wider.
Now, there's a problem. The Asian Fit doesn't fit BOTH my nose and my ears.
The Flak Jacket is really good. The best I've seen, felt, worn.
However, I made a mistake of buying the Asian Fit version, because the salesman said the ear stems are wider and the nose piece are the same as the standard fit.
Well, turns out, the ears stems are the same and the nose piece is NARROWER, and the frame doesn't wrap the face...!!!!
Nah, my face morphed into the frame. Just as with Orthodontics, if you apply enough steady pressure to bone, the bone will add or deduct mass...aka shrink or grow according to pressure. That's how teeth move with braces. Your jaw bone fades / grows according to the pressure.
good review, you need a better camera

well i would suggest a case because it does protect the glasses very well,and i have both the case and the bag but i use the case just to put them in at home and everywhere i take my glasses i have my bag to put them in from getting scratched and then if i get my glasses durty i use the bag to clean them,and no the bag does not scratch the lenses,cleaning the lenses is one of the bags purposes

Is the bag that comes with Oakley sunglasses good at protecting them. Or, do you suggest a case?

If you're protecting them being scratched up then the bag is good enough, but if you put you glasses through rough conditions like throwing them around, leaving it on the floor, dropping them etc, then the case is your best bet.
