Awesome glasses. Oakley got this one right. Can't claim it took strokes off my golf score but it does improve how you see the course. It helps in following the ball. I can actually see were the ball lands now which was a problem before. I can say I'm loosing less balls. Very clear vision with these babies, excellent optics. Best thing; I look way cool with them. Okay, just my opinion at this time.

I am very impressed with this product. It took about 2 weeks to ship. The ear-socks however are more of a grey color then black like in the description. Overall I love them!

I have always bought Maui Jim but these Oakley glasses are better. I play golf in them, and can see the golf ball better than with any other glasses I have ever had.

These sunglasses definitely are not fake and are the real deal. The flak jacket frames are lightweight, comfortable, and fit perfectly. On the other hand, the G30 XLJ lenses have a few cons. Although it provided great vision with no glare and no depth perception problems, I was not a fan of the pinkish tint and the shape of the lens. The XLJ means the lenses are bigger, and in my case the lenses touched my cheeks a little, but that's just my face and maybe it will fit you perfectly. Additionally, the frames may seem flimsy, they are highly durable and are flexible. They are hard to break even if you tried.

Overall, these are worth every penny, and I highly suggest them to any golfer. I bought these frames with the gold iridium lenses because I hated the pink tint, and now all my problems are fixed.

When I first tried on the glasses I was a bit disappointed because I thought that maybe they would not work out for me. They felt a little wide on the face, and didn't feel like they were going to be able to stay on my face while running or biking.

I wore them for a workout and competition, and have been very pleased. Despite the wide feel, the glasses stayed on my face the entire time, and didn't bounce around at all.

The XLJ lenses are the way to go. They flair out a little more than the normal Flak Jacket lenses, and they provide perfect protection. Any smaller lenses I would probably not have been as satisfied with.

These glasses are a bit pricy, but they have held up well. I would look at these glasses as more of an investment, because they will last a long time.

Dear Oakley,

How can you possibly charge so much for such a cheaply made pair of sunglasses? But boy do they look good!

Sincerely,
Your biggest fan. :)

Honestly this color combo does exude a bit of a "Douche" image. I put my polarized lenses in these and use them primarily while motorcycling. Again, I see my reflection off of cars sometimes and can't not-think that I am trying to look cool ... how funny, I just thought white would look subtle and clean.

Otherwise this model and the lenses are exceptional (however the polarized option is better and worth it)and a lifetime set if you don't neglect them. Stick with the all black Flak Jacket XLJ Black Iridium Polarized if you are worried about looking like you are trying too hard to look cool.
