Oakley Cycling Sunglasses

For the best possible performance in cycling the Oakley Flak Jacket sunglasses are a strong contender, particularly in terms of maintaining excellent vision under many conditions.

The Hydrophobic permanent lens coating prevents rain, sweat or mud from leaving streaks and sheens and skin oils, fingerprints and lotions can easily be wiped away without leaving residue or haze. The coating is also anti-static.

The interchangeable lens design allows you to adapt the glasses to many riding conditions. In terms of fit, the interchangeable nose pads in different sizes help to keep the grip of the Oakley Flak Jacket intact while sweating and clarity of vision is maintained all around by the High Definition Optics. Protection is optimised by the use of Oakley's Plutonite lenses that filter out all UV and meet industrial standards for impact protection.

There are two different lens shapes to allow you to pick the right coverage for your cycling and the semi-rimless design allows great downward viewing.

The Oakley Flak Jacket glasses are available in high-contrast colours available to optimize depth perception and neutral transmission colors to give truer color perception. If you want reduced glare then choose Iridium lens coatings and for the ultimate, get those with Oakley polarization.

You'll also find the Livestrong Flak Jacket here which is a Special Edition designed to help support the charity efforts of the 7 times Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong.

These glasses are also available in prescription.
