    The Oakley Flak Jacket is a favorite among MLB players and umpires. The lightweight, durable frame and two nosepiece options make this a comfortable pair of sunglasses even for the longer games or double headers. With optimized peripheral vision, semi-rimless design, anti-smudge and glare reduction coating, you'll have great views of every call.

    The Flak Jacket has UV protection to protect your eyes from harmful rays and impact resistance to protect your eyewear investment from high-velocity blows. A soft vault case is included with slots for extra lenses.

    My wife bought me the Oakley Flack Jacket XLJ with the photochromic lenses for my birthday a few years ago.

    These are by far my favorite sunglasses ever!

    Typical for Oakley the design is modern, stylish and comfortable. The arms are comfortably snug and hold them in place even running, jumping or other times of high activity. 

    There are dozens of lens options and I specifically wanted "transition" type lenses that Oakley calls photochromic. In bright light these darken to a moderate darkness level, and in lower light levels they lighten to an orange/amber color. I love this as a baseball umpire. For those late afternoon games that start in full sun light the dark is great, but as the sun sets and the lights come on the amber is perfect and even enhances your ability to see in those low light/ twilight times very well.
