Oakley Cycling Glasses

Oakley Prescription Sunglasses for cycling

Oakley Flak Jacket and Flak Jacket XLJ

Ideal cycling glasses if you prefer your lower vision undisturbed, with its frame only going across the top of the lenses. Most popular version for cycling is the Flak Jacket XLJ which has a deeper lens shape than the standard flak jacket for greater wind and sunlight protection.

Oakley Jawbone (Quick interchange lens system)

This is Oakley’s biggest player, complete eye socket coverage for maximum protection. Many professionals in the world of cycling favour this style, with vented lenses now available in prescription as well as non prescription. This frame is a dream if you are wishing to buy more than one set of lenses and interchange them.

Oakley Split Jacket (Quick interchange lens system)

This is a smaller, less aggressive looking version of the Jawbone, but with the same quick interchange lens system. Great if you want to wear your Oakley prescription sunglasses for cycling, driving and holidays etc.

Oakley Fast Jacket (Quick interchange lens system)

This is a new version of the Flak Jacket, with a quick interchange lens system that puts no extra pressure on the lens or the frame, regardless of how many times you change the lenses. I would recommend this style if you want to interchange the lenses, however if you like the style but have no intentions of getting spare Rx lenses buy the Flak Jacket, it looks almost the same and is considerably cheaper.

Oakley Radar

The ultimate in protection, one piece lens covers your entire vision providing an exceptional cycling experience. Main disadvantage, frame style makes the sunglasses only look good on your bike, not a sunglasses to purchase for cycling and everyday use. In prescription the lenses are inserted into the shield making them not cosmetically pleasing, however if you’re only purchasing for your biking this frame will provide the widest field of view. So if you are purchasing for cycling only and already have your Ray Ban aviators for holidays then this model is worth look at.
