Oakley Split Jacket Sunglasses

Product Descriptions

REI Description: With rugged good looks and all day comfort the Oakley Split Jacket sunglasses feature interchangeable lenses with unbeatable clarity for any light condition. For easy lens swapping, SWITCHLOCK(TM) lens removal system relieves distortion-causing frame pressure by allowing the bottom part of the frame to pivot open. Quick-release removal system minimizes lens handling, so dirty fingers needn't touch lenses; cam lock frame closure securely holds lenses in place. Nylon frames are lightweight, stress resistant and flexible for long-term wear. Optically correct, shatterproof and scratch-resistant polycarbonate lenses enhance durability. Oakley Hydrophobic/Oleophobic permanent lens coating sheds sweat, rain, dust and skin oils, preventing build-up, keeping your vision clear. Unique Oakley 3-point fit includes optical alignment for sharp, accurate vision, impact absorption for improved protection, and geometry designed to enhance peripheral view. Matte black frames with black Iridium gray tinted lenses are best for extremely bright light; includes additional set of rose tinted lenses for low to medium light. Reflective Iridium coating enhances optical clarity and contrast, and reduces glare in varying light conditions. Nose pads and stem sleeves are hydrophilic rubber that becomes tackier as you perspire, holding eyewear in place as you move. To preserve the superior optical quality, Split Jacket sunglasses come with a specially woven, electrostatic Microclear bag for cleaning and a semi-rigid case for storage.

Backcountry Description: If you've been following Oakley products over the years, you know these sunglasses. The name is Split Jacket and they come with Iridium lenses. The Split Jacket is a smaller, more rounded version of the Jawbone. While the aesthetics are pure Oakley, the size and shape make for a less aggressive look that fits well on smaller faces and is subtle enough for casual wear.Much like the Jawbone, the Split Jacket's calling card is the Switchlock frame that helps provide unbelievable optical clarity. The clarity is the result of Oakley's HDO optics as well as the Switchlock system that allows the Split Jacket frame to capture the lenses without flexing them. The lenses aren't snapped into place so much as they're contained in a soft liner within the frame. This system allows the frame to flex a bit without bending the lenses and distorting your view.The frame is the usual light, sturdy, flexible O-Matter. The nosepieces and ear socks are the usual Unobtanium rubber. This stuff gets stickier the more you sweat. And if it ever wears out, the Unobtanium pieces can be replaced. And since Oakley is all about protection, the Split Jackets come with a vault, a cleaning cloth/bag, and a set of spare lenses. The vault is designed to carry the glasses, the cloth, and two sets of spare lenses securely. The cloth works for cleaning and for storage, and there are tiny pockets inside for the spare lenses.The Oakley Split Jacket Iridium is available in Infrared, Matte Black, and Polished White. The Infrared comes with VR28 Black Iridium and VR50 lenses. VR is an acronym for Violet Rust and allows 28% of visible light to pass through the lens. VR50 allows 50% of visible light to pass through. The Matte Black comes with Black Iridium and G40 Lenses. Black Iridium is a great sunny day lens with a grey base, and G40 is a moderate day lens that blocks lots of green from coming through the lens, allowing 40% light transmission. The Polished White comes with Ice Iridium and Light Grey lenses.

The House Description: We gave the Oakley Split Jacket® interchangeable lenses with Switchlock™ technology that makes lens changing easy and fast. Accented with true metal icons, the lightweight frame is made of stress-resistant O Matter® with Unobtainium® stem sleeves and nose pads that actually increase grip when you sweat. Our Three-Point Fit optimizes comfort while keeping the lenses in precise optical alignment. Take a close look at how the lenses contour at the sides, maximizing protection against sun, wind and side impact. It’s a full 8.75 base lens curvature that utilizes patented XYZ Optics® to offer razor sharp clarity at every angle of view. You’ll have extended peripheral vision and performance that meets ANSI Z87.1 standards, thanks to High Definition Optics® (HDO®). Oakley HDO® also means protection, so Split Jacket meets ANSI Z87.1 standards for high velocity and high mass impact resistance. Our Plutonite® lens material filters out every eye-baking ray of UV, not just UVA and UVB, and you’ll have a wide array of lens options to adapt to any environment. When reflected glare threatens your vision, install optional Oakley HDPolarized lenses. They’re made without the haze and visual distortion of ordinary polarized lenses, and they filter out greater than 99% of glare while offering the performance of HDO®. No wonder they’re considered the best polarized lenses on the planet. Other options include lenses with Iridium® coating to balance light transmission and further reduce glare, as well as Transitions® SOLFX™ lenses that adapt to changing light with photochromic technology. You can also get Oakley Authentic Prescription Lenses, and numerous options are available for our corrective optics.
