Oakley Half Jacket 2.0 Sunglasses Polarized

The Half Jacket 2. 0 Polarized are the next generation of Oakley's best selling 'Jacket' line of sport performance sunglasses. The redesigned 2. 0 features a carefully engineered balance that combines the best aspects of the old Half Jacket with the recent Fast Jacket for a subtly edgy, superbly comfortable, and universal fit that wears as great on the bike as it does everywhere else.

These optically correct lenses are constructed from pure Plutonite, Oakley's proprietary polycarbonate that not only blocks all harmful UV A, UV B, UV C, and harmful blue light up to 400nm, but i...
