I have a pair of Oakleys too, but they arent really made for baseball. I will occasionally wear them in games though. I think the model is the Straight Jacket Deluxe.
I used to use Oakley's half jacket XLJ but I bought a new pair of M frames recently..Don't really know how they 'handle' yet...they are pretty comfortable
let me know how they work out, im just curious if they are as good as theyre made out to be
I'm back...
Used them when I was takin some fungo a couple of days ago...they felt fine and didnt fall off of my head when i was doin turn and sprints...When I was in the outfield I had a hard time pickin up the ball off of my dads fungo...
Buuuut...I think that it was the lense color..The M frames I bought, the lenses were dark grey, on my half jackets I had the fire iridium, the hi contrast...so i dont think it was in the frames or worksmanship....

thanks. . . yeah my XLJ's aer fire iridium too, probably the best lense tint
yeah works when its really bright to barely bright....i like those....but im not sure if they make FI lenses in the m frames shape or not
i go with the MP3 oakleys that manny wore so i can get my tunes in...lol jk im prob not allowed to
oakley is the way to go or just any shades to keep the sun out of your eyes
Idk Personally, I think that the oakleys are worth the money....the pair of half jackets I have had for a year and a half and still goin....they ve been stepped on, sat on.....and they are still in good condition....they are also a lot more comfortable than the other glasses.....

Thanks for your help

dark or hi contrast colors
Oakley is a big name when it comes to good sunglasses makers.I am using Oakley Men's Radar for outdoor sport . This is an excellent pair of sunglasses from them that not only will shade your eyes nicely when playing baseball but will also help you look good while doing it.
The lens color on these glasses is really cool and they are very solidly built too. They can fall off your face a few times during your baseball season while playing and still be ok to use. They are non-polarized and feature 100% UV ray protection.
Oakley Men's Half Jacket 2.0 XL Iridium Sport Sunglasses is my other sunglasses and I use it mostly outdoor and daily basis . Both of them are great sunglasses.
I use Oakley Flak Jacket XLJs and swap out lenses as needed. I have found the polarized are actually not as good for baseball because they filter out light waves that help determine where an object is (but I love them for shooting.) I use black Iridium as my default, VR28 in low light, and yellow at night.
