Cheaply made
By Dirk
Over the years I've purchased about 6 pair of Oakley's but most recently I bought these Polarized Oakley Half Jackets back in March 2008.

Pros:
I like the way they fit by clinging to to your head. They are lightweight and comfortable as well. They are stylish and perform well at blocking the sun from your eyes. The frames are durable.

Cons:
The lenses are NOT scratch resistant at all. After owning several pair of Oakleys, I know very well how to care for them by only using the cloth that comes with them and I take very good care of my subglasses. Nevertheless about 3 weeks after I bought them I found a small scratch on the right lens. A few weeks later I was at the beach and somehow one of the plastic nose guards fell off by itself, never to be found again. Another few months went by and I noticed that the coating started flaking off the lenses. Now the sunglasses are about a year and a half old and the flaking has gotten so bad that I can't wear them anymore. I'm pretty upset about this seeing as how I dished out $200 for sunglasses that only last a little over a year. My other pairs of Oakleys have held up better in the past but a few were lost or stolen so I only had maybe 3 pair long enough to stop wearing them. But inevitably it always ends the same way.. with scratches all over the lenses after only a few months. It seems that they have been getting more and more cheaply made over the years while their prices have stayed the same or increased.

So I'm done with Oakley and their cheap lenses. No more. Purchase at your own risk!

Good fit, but a few flaws
By Timothy M. Johnson
If you have to replace the rubber pieces, (the nose piece has a tendency to fall off and you have to get a whole kit to replace,) it can be difficult. After struggling to replace the ear piece rubber with I used a drop of dishwashing soap in the ends and they slid right on. They were initially stretched a bit but they conformed. The installation of the lenses take some time to master.

Stylish and well made
By Brotwurst
I bought these for my son, who needed eyewear that will protect his eye from an impact after an eye accident. He doesn't like the RecSpec styling and refuses to wear those. He finds these stylish and wears them for baseball and soccer games. They don't slip off, have resisted scratching so far and the frame seems to be holding up fairly well a year into wearing them. They are pricey, but the lens is polycarbonate and impact resistant so it's worth it for the protection and if it means he'll wear them. As for fit, he was 12 and is a tall but thin kid and these fit nicely in terms of width. The half jackets have a slightly smaller frame than other Oakleys and are good for people with thinner faces. If you have a large face or head, I'd recommend a different style.
