Yeah - Flak Jackets and Ballistic M 2.0s. Great sunglasses.

I frequently forget I have the Flak Jackets on - I've been wearing them for 7 years with the same lenses (although it is about time for a refresh of the replaceable parts).

Had the first few styles they made when they first came on the scene in the '80s. Today I have around 6 pairs.

ETA: I love hearing from the Oakley haters - because bald fatasses who sit on their couch and golf 3 times/year know more about current fashion than guys like top MotoGP and motocross riders.

Flak jackets for golf, running etc. I have heard they stay in place pretty well when sweaty.


I have a pair and bought them for this reason. They stay in place through almost anything.

Own a pair? You tell me...I haven't owned a pair of sideburns either.

I've got some right now, they're pretty sweet. Very plastic-y though. Other than that I love them

I like both


There was a time when Oakleys were cool, then they became really lame, now they are starting to make some really cool looking shades because they did a lot more than the thick rimmed futuristic multicolored lens shite.

Why???


Oakleys optics are just not special considering their relative price.

Try on A good pair of Serengeti drivers, Maui Jim Titaniums and walk outdoors. Even Costa 580p are much better optics in my opinion.

My current favorite reach is Maui Jim Ka'anapali Titaniums. Very light however they are taking some getting used to for that very reason.

I always fall back on wearing Serengetis. They are my favorites
