Better off to pay $3 extra to buy from amazon if you want to return it easily.

Good deal if you need/want a pair of these glasses right now, as it doesn't look like these reach lower price points all that often.

As OP noted, lowest without any in cart discounts/gimmicks.
A quick search shows they were down to $105 (with an in cart discount) for a short period back in July 11
And a deal I got in Dec 10 had them down to $99.95 (with an in cart discount).
All were for black on black, polarized Flak Jackets.

So, not TCing by any stretch as I may even bite for a 2nd pair... but good/warm deal if you need a pair now. Otherwise, you end up going my route and simply hold out until another ~$100 or sub $100 deal comes along again :pray:

Good price, GREAT glasses, ordered a pair for my wife to give me at Christmas. I bought the 5 squared's last week for $55 but they weren't polarized and they just don't quite fit my face. Amazon is great about returns for glasses. You can even get your refund as soon as the carrier scans the return package in their system!

Polarized Oakleys are definitely worth this much, and more. The flak jackets are a nice timeless look too. If I still have these 10 years from now they won't look ridiculous.

Are you sure these are polarized?
I see that in the title but I was under the impression the 'Color:' section had to specify the lens information.

These are a steal if you can actually get them for $125. Sweet pair of shades.

wish I was in the market, that's a great price for polarized but my half-jackets are still in great shape despite my toddler

The zoom view of the left lens shows 'Polarized' - not to mention they look polarized.

But guess what, if they aren't, Amazon takes them back no questions asked!

Not to mention they look polarized???

You do know a mirrored lens doesn't make them polarized, polarization is a clear filter that is inserted in the middle of the lens.

The reason they are mirrored is due to the iridium coating, not polarization. EBAN44 is right.

Yeah, um, I was mentioning the fact that the word "POLARIZED" is printed on the left lens if you look at the zoom view. I wasn't saying anything else. Just trying to help answer a question.

already have non-polarized flak jackets but i will try these. also considering just buying new lenses for my current glasses but polarized lenses alone are still $85+.

Yeah I wasn't saying that was wrong, you are correct there, but then you went to say they "look" polarized, that is what is incorrect.

No harm done, I just work in the sunglass industry and I hate it when people think that because a lens is mirrored that it is polarized.

In for one! Thanks OP, been waiting ages for polarized flak jackets to fall under $150.

I'm asian but don't need an asian fit one :P

Does anyone know when ordering if you can select a particluar lense?? if you look at the silver pair the lenses are slightly different ( a little tear drop on the bottom) and I like them better. just wondering. I will most likely pick up the pair regardless.

Thanks

sorry but unless they are going to fix my eye prescription, there is no way i would pay that price. i am looking for a good pair of shades, but lets be real.

maybe the xlj

10-17-2011, 09:43 AM
Yeah,those are the XLJ's. I have a pair I wear when I run and love them. A lot of people don't like the xlj lenses, but you can swap them out with the regular lenses in seconds.

i am a noob in optics, and I'm trying hard to understand why this statement is true.....
how can any polarization glass (filter or what not) be clear? the polarization effect will make it dark automatically even if no colored pigments were added to the glass.

It doesn't make the lens that much darker, only about 1-3% difference. It is a clear filter but you are still adding an additional layer which will block some light. Nothing is 100% clear, so there will be some light blocking.

Thanks again OP! If I could re-rep I would. Got the glasses in today. Will likely never be able to go unploraized again. These things are awesome.
