Oakley Flak Jacket - sport sunglasses, sunglasses
Just received these Pit Bosses, today. The Packaging is very impressive. Too impressive, in fact. One might suspect that the elaborate packaging makes up a good portion of the ~$600.00 price tag. Glasses seem to be of fairly good quality but nothing spectacular. I expected a lot more, for the money. I'm a little bit disappointed that Oakley would market something like this.
The fit is very snug and could be uncomfortable, for long use. XX Metal (24K Gold Iridium) and Romeo (Polished, Black Iridium) are better quality, more comfortable and less expensive.
I'll add to this review, after extended wearing. For now, I'd recommend saving the $$$ and directing it to other Oakley products.
UPDATE; These Oakleys are very good functionally. Polarized lens does an excellent job of screening UV rays. The fit is actually OK for extended use. But, $600.00 worth of technology? Still a 'NO'.
