FAQs
What does 'Redux' mean in the product name?
'Redux' signifies that this is a revival or reimagining of the original Eye Jacket™ model, updated with modern technology and design refinements.
Are these sunglasses suitable for all sports?
They are designed with sport performance in mind and are particularly well-suited for activities like cycling, running, and hiking due to their secure fit and protective lenses. However, suitability can depend on specific sport requirements and personal preference.
How do I clean the lenses without scratching them?
Always use a clean microfiber cloth. If lenses are very dirty, rinse them under cool water first to wash away grit, then gently wipe with the microfiber cloth. Avoid household cleaners or paper products.
What type of protection do the lenses offer?
Oakley sunglasses typically offer UV protection. Specific lens technologies like Prizm enhance color and contrast, improving clarity and detail perception, while polarized options reduce glare.
Can I replace the lenses if they get damaged?
Oakley offers a replacement lens service for many of its models, including potentially the Eye Jacket™ Redux. Check the official Oakley website or contact customer support for availability and pricing.
What is the difference between the 'Brown' model and other color options?
The 'Brown' designation refers to the frame color. Other color options, such as Matte Moss, Matte Vapor, or Floral, refer to the frame's appearance. Lens color and technology may also vary across different specific product codes (MPNs).
Are these sunglasses heavy?
Oakley typically uses lightweight yet durable materials like O Matter™ for their frames, designed for comfortable long-term wear. Specific weight may vary slightly by model.
Troubleshooting
Sunglasses feel loose or slip down the nose.
Adjust the temple arms slightly. Ensure the frame is clean. For a more permanent fix, consider consulting an eyewear professional for custom adjustments or exploring alternative models if fit is a persistent issue.
Lenses are smudged or dirty.
Use a dedicated lens cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth. Rinse with cool water if necessary before wiping to remove debris.
Frame feels tight or uncomfortable.
Gently try to bend the temple arms outward slightly. If uncomfortable, seek professional adjustment at an eyewear store.
Vision is distorted or unclear.
Ensure you are wearing the correct prescription if applicable. Clean the lenses thoroughly. If the issue persists, the lens may be damaged or defective; contact customer support.
