A soldier's review of the Oakley Half Jacket

When looking for opinions of the Oakley half Jacket, I stumbled across an e-pinion that stood out.

I wore these every single day in the desert and loved them. They're light and comfortable enough to wear all day, every day. Though the styling of the XLJ lenses is a little wild, but I chose them since it looked like they covered more of the eye and I'm glad I did. They provide better coverage of peripheral vision areas, as well as keep more wind and dust out of the eyes. They're not a substitute for goggles, but kept enough wind out to be worn in all but the windiest activities...

The sand storms of Iraq have been a thing of legend for years! Read more of his opinion here. If you're looking for your first pair of Oakley Sunglasses, the Flak Jacket might be a good one to start on.

Just be careful to check the seller's feedback rating and reputation - Foakleys (Fake Oakleys) are everywhere and not all dealers are 100% honest.

You have no need to worry about that at Fast Sunglass, where they only sell 100% Authentic Brand Merchandise. No fakes, no imitations. Nothing but the real brands at great customer service!

What Oakley's look like

Who is that good looking man in the Oakley Juliet sunglasses? That's a soldier supporting the Army football team!

He's chosen the Metal Frame with the Black Iridium lens, and I know for a fact that he's more attached to those glasses than some people are attached to their cars. Those glasses have been to Iraq and back. I can also say with a certain degree of confidence that when it comes to hitting the slopes, mountain biking, rock climbing, hiking or one of the weekly 5k races he likes to do, those sunglasses are his most reliable companion.

The durability of the Oakley Sunglasses has made it a household name. Their sleek, stylish design also makes them friendly towards athletes and non-athletes alike, though the subject of this post is obviously of the more active variety.

He got his Oakleys shortly before graduating from the prestigious United States Military Academy at West Point. That was a few years ago, and those glasses are still going strong.

If you're an active person who spends a lot of time outdoors, you should probably have your own pair of Oakley Sunglasses at your disposal, because they have been the leaders in athletic eye wear for decades.

This Medic's favorite glasses

My friend, the Combat Medic who is crouched so panther-like on that rock, is wearing the Oakley M Frame Hybrid S Glasses. These bad boys have been worn through several military engagements as well as countless training scenarios.

These M Frame Hybrid S is great for military folks because they are approved eye protection for all scenarios, including on a rifle range where there are strict requirements that must be met with the eye protection. Their most important feature is the side protection - note how the sides of the wrap around towards the temple. This allows for maximum protection from flying debris and shrapnel! This means that no matter what the angle, your eyes are protected.

A soldier is of very little use without his eyes! If you can't shoot, you're not combat effective. That's why soldiers take such great precautions.

The Combat Medic has always declared this pair of sunglasses his favorite because they've been with him so long and fit his face perfectly! They've got a secure, comfortable fit and have never been scratched or dented, in spite of years of abuse.
