Oakley Flak Jacket Cycling Glasses
The Oakley Flak Jackets are glasses designed with the sports professional in mind. Yeah, we all want to look good with shades on, but the functionality and performance of an industry leader like Oakley means they're not just a pretty face.
Water streaks on lenses are prevented by hydrophobic lens coatings, while height definition optics (HDO) provide unbeatable clarity at all angles. The Flak Jackets feature interchangeable lenses - an Iridium lens coating to reduce glare and get the best vision in bright sun, or a polarized lens to cut glare. 100% UV protection and meeting industrial standards for impact protection ensure that Flak Jackets are serious eye candy.
