Question by Feiscool: Which should I use for running?
So I was thinking of buying some Oakley Half Jacket Sunglasses for running. Are these good for running (I mainly do sprinting and distance.) Also, should I buy the Silver/Ice Iridium ones or the Jet Black/G30. Which would be best?
Best answer:
Answer by dwc_frr74
Are you running track or Cross Country? Half Jackets are good. The unobtanium on the ear stems will keep the glasses from sliding around on your head. They get stickier when they get wet.
As for lens choices, if you run Cross Country or across uneven ground, the G30 lens (more for golf) will enhance contours in the ground (hence for the use for golf) that can help you with picking a good running line.
However, if you do mostly track/flat running, the Ice lenses will work well.
I would also consider the Flak Jacket. The Flak Jacket is the newer version of the Half Jacket and has more lens options and more unobtanium for better grip.
The SPLIT JACKET is going to be introduced soon so if you can wait a few weeks, these will be available on the Oakley.com website. Split Jackets are like the JawBone glasses that Lance Armstrong wears where the bottom of the lens comes off and a new lens can be swapped in its place in a matter of seconds. Very cool since you can swap out for different light conditions.

A handful of hardcore Oakley gear gurus might recognize design elements from the bestselling M Frame in these Radar Pitch Sunglasses, but the frame and interchangeable lens shapes stand apart from previous incarnations. Whether you’re looking for a fashionable upgrade from your M Frames or you need sports sunglasses for high-impact activities, the award-winning Radar Pitch is an ideal choice. The impact-resistant Plutonite lenses have the excellent vertical coverage, but give medium faces a slightly better fit than the larger Range lenses. Oakley’s Radar lenses are fully interchangeable, so you can switch tints and shapes to suit your needs–or switch to the Radar Range if you want the additional coverage. Oakley treated their lenses with a permanent hydrophobic lens that repels skin oil, rain and sweat to optimize optical performance. The lenses also resist smudges and clean easier than previous eyewear. This award winning design (Outside Magazine’s Gear of the Year award for 2007) also has interchangeable Unobtainium nose pieces that you can choose to match your facial contours. From golfing to biking to trail running, Oakley’s Radar Pitch is one of the most versatile sports eyewear designs you’ll find this season.
