Oakley Flak Jacket 2.0

[Sharpdub00]

not being able to wear polarized limits options anyway

Well if you like the uranium color, it won't be polarized as it comes with the golf Prizm lens.
I'm assuming the polarized lenses interfere with a work display screen, that's why you're limited?

Will probably pass on these

Grabbed this screenshot from an Oakley Ad featuring Matt Kemp... could he be wearing the new Flaks?

Certainly appears so.

Pic from another thread... I'm not digging the way the stem / rubber looks

I saw that ad but couldn't figure out what he was wearing.

It's the hinge that really throws me... Looks like the women's frame RPM...

Other than that I can't really find fault in the frame... I wonder what the real improvements are to call those 2.0 besides that tiny port in the ear stems...

Polarized lenses give me migraines, mess with depth perception and as I am not on the water except for a whale watch now and then are just literally a headache to me an I met 2 people at my o store last week with same problem. I have. Lot going on with bad nearsightedness color blindness and a vestibular condition all of which contribute. Hey I won't be a hater I think personally the old look is classier by far but that's just me. I only wear flks halfs and straight jackets and quarter jackets ( yeah really thin nose bridge here) and have about 100 down fom 300 so am set for while. If u like the new ones rock em if u can The return of Matte grey smoke is a positive for sure btw am talking abt Flaks no opinion on Jawbreaker either way but no uranium wouldn't be for me. I am probably older than a lot of forum members so that may have something to do with it. Can't wear yellow or white without looking silly but for cyclers etc they look ok I just think the new Flak really does not improve on a classic but to each their own

I'm curious to what the functional advantages are, too. All I can make out is the larger/longer contact area of the rubbers. Never tried the original Flak, but I know the M2's extended earsocks do nothing for me. I think O has shifted from the concept of a "surge port" to take in air and instead are opting to create outlets for ventilation now. Makes sense to me if that was the case, but it kinda sucks that it carries to the Radar EV because "surge ports" were a bit of a signature feature.

Looks are each to their own. I'm torn as it's clean and sharp, but a little too simple. Simple is nice in its own way, but this is Oakley.

Jawbreaker looks like one of the few interesting designs in forever.
