FLAK JACKET ™
Sport professionals demand nothing less than the best, and we’ve answered their challenge for decades. World-class athletes have driven us to create innovation after innovation, including interchangeable lens designs with unbeatable optical clarity. Flak Jacket™ takes that to the next level with the latest in performance technology.
The clarity of High Definition Optics® was just our starting point. We created a permanent Hydrophobic™ lens coating to repel water, skin oils and debris, so the best vision on earth stays crystal clear. When the sun fades or flares on athletes like freeride legend Wade Simmons, the interchangeable lens design lets them adapt. Two sizes of nose pads help them achieve a secure fit that optimizes comfort.
The Best Vision in Sports
Professional athletes cannot compromise on performance, so Oakley engineered Flak Jacket™ to offer the best of every technology. Hydrophobic™
Oakley Hydrophobic™ is a permanent lens coating that prevents water from
leaving streaks and sheens, which can compromise vision. Whether it’s rain,
sweat or splashing runoff, H2O can’t get a foothold. And that’s just half the
story.
Skin oils, fingerprints and lotions are easily wiped away without leaving a
residue, eliminating the haze that makes ordinary lenses a nightmare to keep
clean. Oakley even made the coating anti-static so it won’t attract dust and dirt
like ordinary lenses.
High Definition Optics® (HDO®) High
Definition Optics® (HDO®) take advantage of patented innovations, like
XYZ Optics®
for unbeatable clarity at all angles of vision - even at the sides of lens
contours that open peripheral view and optimize protection against sun, wind and
side impact. HDO® lenses surpass all ANSI Z87.1 standards for clarity,
refraction and prism. Interchangeable Lenses
This gives athletes the best performance possible in any sport environment,
and even lets them keep up with changing light. Oakley created a full spectrum of
lens options that help them optimize their vision. Lens Shape Options Two different lens shapes let you choose the amount of lens coverage, and the semi-rimless design ensures there’s no frame rim to block downward view.
Performance Lens Colors
 Oakley's high-contrast colors optimize depth perception, and their neutral
transmission colors offer truer color perception. Choose Iridium®
lens coatings to reduce glare and get the best vision in bright sun. For the
ultimate in glare-cutting performance, get lenses with Oakley polarisation. Oakley
make them with a process that eliminates the haze and distortion found in
ordinary polarised lenses.
The Perfect Fit Oakley designed Flak Jacket™ with interchangeable nose pads, so you can pick the size that gives you a comfortable and precise fit. Two sizes come with every frame. You also get the best frame technologies in sports.. Stays in Place 
To make sure the frame stays secure during sport competition, the nosepiece and stem sleeves are made of Oakley Unobtainium®. It’s a proprietary synthetic that actually increases grip with perspiration. Cooling Airflow The aerodynamic design includes surge ports that channel a cooling flow of air, an essential for the heat of competition. Comfort Oakley engineered Radar™ to be so lightweight, you’ll forget you have it on. Unlike ordinary frames that hook the ears, Radar™ offers the comfort of a Three-Point Fit with balanced pressure points. Protection
Oakley's O Matter® frame material is engineered to withstand the abuse of athletics. It’s one of the reasons why Radar™ meets all ANSI Z87.1 standards for high-mass and high-velocity impact protection. |
