Sunglasses Oakley Flak 2.0 XL OO9188 9188H3

My missus thinks they look ridiculous but the very first time one of my mates saw them he commented "cool shades!" ;-) Personally I love the white and blue colour scheme. I like FLAK 2.0 for the fact that you can change lenses. I have a prescription pair and multiple pairs for varying levels of sun brightness and activities. Also have a black frame. I'm a very active athlete doing multiple types of sports (cycling, running, outdoor bootcamps, trekking, adventure racing) and it just does the job really well. Just great.

Baseball? Great for Tennis, too!

I have a pair of glasses by another company I have used for tennis in the past. They are designed to enhance yellow. They work well in some conditions and not so great in other conditions. They also fog up too easily. This Oakley pair with Prizm Field lenses offer great contrast. I had a 2 hour 15 min match where light conditions changed throughout the match. The contrast was fantastic -- especially nice since the host club did not have wind screens. And, as oppressively hot as it was that day, they never fogged up. Fantastic!

Best Glasses Ever

I wish to report that I received the 2nd edition of the glasses I ordered, as you promised, and upon trying them on, completely fell in love with them.They are without doubt the answer to my prayer for a pair of glasses that would serve me in all situations. They are the best.But I do have one concern, and I think this stems from the process itself, whereby I’m not sitting down with an ophthalmologist with glassesin hand and verifying correctness of measurements and vision. Getting to the point, after a week or so of ‘getting used to the new glasses’, I find that if I liftthem off my nose and hold them straight forward about 1/8”, everything goes into sharper focus. The improvement is there no matter which direction I look,and the clarity of vision is the best ... MoreI wish to report that I received the 2nd edition of the glasses I ordered, as you promised, and upon trying them on, completely fell in love with them.They are without doubt the answer to my prayer for a pair of glasses that would serve me in all situations.

The improvement is there no matter which direction I look,and the clarity of vision is the best I’ve experienced in the last 25 years.I’m no optician, so I don’t really know the language to use to describe this. It seems as if the glasses focus the world I see about 1/16" - 1/8” behind my retina.Moving the glasses forward, off the nose, puts that focal point right on the perfect spot on the retina. This improvement is noted looking through the top, middle,and bottom of the lenses.I hope I’m making some sort of sense. I DO NOT want to give these glasses up. Even as I describe them, they are a huge improvement over my previouseyewear. I’ve toyed with ideas for “extending” the nosepiece, or my nose, somehow… so they sit slightly further out from my face.I invite your input at this point. I don’t like being a troublesome customer, and I understand making these glasses is an expensive process.

Best gift ever!

My son left his Oaklies here after family dinner. My husband started wearing them every chance he could. He said how light and comfortable they are. He also said the polarization is excellent! Needless to say I had to buy him his own pair for Christmas. He was completely surprised when he unwrapped his gift to see he received his own pair of Oakley sunglasses. Thanks for making the purchase easy. Thank you for the fast shipping.

Glasses did not work out but very positive experience with Sportx

The Oakley Flak is generally a great style and frame for active, outdoor people. I ordered a pair of Oakley Flak Rx transitions with all the bells and whistles... seamless bi-focal, chromatic transition, etc. Unfortunately after years of wearing Oakley M Frame Strikes, and several weeks of testing the Flaks, I found the Flaks to be lacking clear peripheral vision due to the (overly) thick frame style. The bi-focal lens was very disorienting when out hiking on uneven trails and terrain. Looking up and down through the lenses was almost vertigo-inducing. The biggest deal breaker was these lenses would not darken sufficiently in bright sunlight using SportRx's proprietary (clear-to-brown) lenses, leaving me almost blinded under a brilliant, summer, California sun. ... MoreThe Oakley Flak is generally a great style and frame for active, outdoor people.

Fortunately the team at SportRx were extremely helpful and proactive with my issues and ultimately these glasses had to be returned, for full refund with shipping paid for. Unbelievable! I am holding off trying another pair of high end Rx glasses until my eyes really require it but when I do, I will definitely be calling SportRx to fulfill my order. Just a fantastic company staffed with a helpful, professional eye care and sales team.

Oakley Flak 2.0 XL Sunglasses - Matte Grey Smoke - Prizm Road - Men's

Oakley lenses are top shelf quality and the Prizm Road are the best for any sport in the sun! The lenses wrap just enough around the eye and aren’t overly obtrusive in terms of lens size. These are my go-to for competitive running and cycling, or any outdoor activity. With adjustable (removable) temples that stand up to accidents and typically won’t break if stepped on or during other mishaps, this frame stands up to anything. The temples themselves and the temple sleeves can be swapped out for different colours, as can the lenses (replacement if need), and the nose pads. The super light weight frame don't leave marks on the bridge if your nose. The rubberized temple sleeves also stick well to hats, caps and helmets without falling off when not is use.

Highly recommend!

Oakley Flak 2.0 XL Sunglasses - Steel - Photochromic Lens - Men's

I purchased these glasses for hiking and cycling. I looked at other brands that had interchangeable lens but could not imagine stopping to change lens each time I went in/out of the forest. Having the Photochromic lens seemed like a more practical option. I’ve used these for a month in winter/snow/sun conditions and they are solid performers. I have a large/wide head and was pleased that these glasses flexed at the nose piece and are comfortable. In sun/snow I was surprised at how nice and crisp the blues / reds “popped”. They also provide enhanced contrast (ie when looking at clouds). They provide reasonably good protection from wind/sleet/snow and don’t seem to fog up. They are large when folded and don’t fit into my overhead sunglasses compartment in my car. They ... MoreI purchased these glasses for hiking and cycling.

They are the Swiss Army knife of glasses (very good at many things, not the very best at any one thing, but worth it for the flexibility).

Oakley Flak 2.0XL

Flak 2.0 XL is an excellent sunglass. I love and depend on them so much that I bought a second pair. My Flak 2.0 XL has Oakley RX Len’s and the optics are fantastic. My eyes are a sun/bright light sensitive so the Flak 2.0 has been a game changer for me. I play tennis at a high level and my vision on the court has never been better. The bright Arizona sun is a non-factor thanks to my Oakleys. I fell in love with the Oakley Prism Lens’s I’m my Flight Deck L ski goggles a few years ago so I was familiar with the advantages of those Lens’s before ordering the Flak 2.0XL. Both of these products are an outstanding solution for demanding outdoor sports!

Sleek, sexy, Oakley

I've been wanting to buy a pair of these shades for years now. However, until recently, I had to wear glasses, but after getting lasik eye surgery, it was time. They're pretty much everything I'd hoped they would be. Sleek, sexy, tactical. Well, sort of tactical, they LOOK tactical, but anybody who knows anything about Oakley products is that they look the best, but are about as durable as a wet paper bag, so I've been real careful to keep these in their storage case whenever I'm not wearing them. I suspect I will probably need to buy replacement lenses at some point also, but for now, these shades are absolutely amazing. Just wearing them raises my confidence levels stepping out the door, knowing how damn cool I look. Can't beat that fellas. If you're on the fence ... MoreI've been wanting to buy a pair of these shades for years now. However, until recently, I had to wear glasses, but after getting lasik eye surgery, it was time.

cool blue

I'm a fairly small person and I have found the size 'small' to be a perfect fit. I also like this style a lot, having been wearing the 'blade' style for years, thought well that's kind of 80's isn't it? I also thought those I've been wearing are very dark, maybe something a little lighter. and this fit the bill. plus the blue look is cool. now, I thought this would look blue with them on, I mean like what you'd see had a blue tint. no, doesn't. just like a typical sunglass. I'm happy with the purchase. I've been buying only oakley and direct from the website. I recommend that as I suspect knock offs are more common than one might realize
