Eye protection is important in most outdoor sports and activities as prolonged exposure to the sun can damage the eyes. If your sport involves dust and debris such as leaves, twigs, or barks of trees, and insects, protective eyewear becomes even more important. If you are looking for a good pair of sunglasses for tree climbing, consider the Oakley Polarized Flak Jacket Sunglasses.
The Polarized Flak Jacket is designed to block intense and blinding glare that could cause discomfort and even damage to the eyes through its Iridium® lens coating. Often, glare is magnified by pavement, snow, and water which are common sights for tree climbers. Its Plutonite® lens material, on the other hand, completely blocks UVA, UVB, and UVC protecting the eyes from their harmful effects.
With Oakley’s Three-Point-Fit, the Flak Jacket is guaranteed to provide a secure and comfortable wear. Every pair of sunglasses comes with two nose pads allowing you to choose which has a better feel. These are made of Unobtanium® which increases grip with perspiration. The stem sleeves, also made of the same material, are lightweight and thus do not exert uncomfortable pressure above the ears.
The lenses are permanently coated with hydro- and oleo-phobic materials that resist the build up of water, oil, and even sweat on the lenses. This means smudge-free sunglasses providing you with clear vision at all times. The coating also eliminates static electricity which means that dust and dirt won’t cling to the lenses.
Since the lenses do not have rims at the bottom, you have an unobstructed view of what is below you, a feature useful to tree climbers who need to know if there is a branch they can rest their feet on.
Oakley Polarized Flak Jacket Sunglasses frames are colored jet black, polished rootbeer, silver, and black chrome. Lenses, on the other hand, are black, gold, ice, and tungsten. You can have any combination you want, or you may purchase a single frame and several lenses as they are easily interchangeable.
