Oakley Split Jacket Eyewear – Women
Oakley comes out with Split Jacket eyewear, the womens version of its popular Jawbones. It carries the Switchlock technology that allows you to change the lens easily. The lenses that comes with the Split Jacket features the hydrophobic/oleophobic technology which keeps them free from dust and smudges from oil, fingerprints and water.
Made from highly resistant material, the Split Jacket has stem sleeves and nose pads that tighten and locks on to you the more you sweat. You might think this is uncomfortable but Oakley devised a three-point fit which prioritizes comfort while making sure the lenses are kept aligned with your line of vision.
The frame has metal icon accents and the lenses have options for Iridium coating which functions to balance the light and diminish glare and the Transitions Solfx which uses photochromic technology. It is also available in polarized and comes in colors of matte black, infrared and polished white. Retail price of £170.00.
I looked at these for my wife but we couldnt believe that they dont have Vented Lenses.. is there plans for Vented Lenses in the future?
Where do you get he idea that these are Jawbones for women? That is very misleading.
Yes, the Split Jacket styling is more subdued and intended to look more like regular sunglasses which you could wear for leisure as well as sport. The same lens changing mechanism as the Jawbones, together with subtle styling might appeal more to the ladies, but I would argue that it will appeal to everyone who wants something with a more classic look. Nowehere in any of Oakley’s literature or websites does it say that the Split Jacket is a woman’s product. It is for everyone.
