While the Oakley Flak Jacket Sunglasses (European/ Asian Fit) might resemble the popular Half Jacket designs, there's more to the innovations than a redesigned frame. The Flak Jacket represents a new generation of Oakley sport eyewear performance. The interchangeable lenses have 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, making the design better suited to endurance sports and extended climbing and backpacking. While some people found the Flak Jacket lenses easier to change than the Half Jackets, it's all really a matter of getting used to changing lenses. Like learning anything new, changing the lenses the first time around takes an extra moment or two. After that you can swap out lenses in a few moments and quickly adapt to new light conditions. Like the Oakley Half Jackets, the Flak Jacket has a featherweight O Matter frame with Unobtainium earsocks, and the proven three-point fit. Unobtainium tends to grip more when wet, so you don't have to worry about your Flak Jackets giving you the slip before you reach the finish line. Getting the right fit is essential for comfort, protection, and even optical performance. If sunglasses tend to sit too low on your face or slide down your nose, touch at your temples or cheeks, or feel narrow at the side of your head, the European/ Asian Fit is for you.

perfect fit
I bought this for my son who plays beach volleyball. They look very sporty and they are super comfortable. The fit is great since it is so hard to find a good wraparound that would fit right on an Asia face with low nose bridge.
Great product!
I dont have much of a bridge on my nose, the extended pads really help.
