PapaVivaReplacement Lenses & Rubber Kits for Oakley Flak Jacket XLJ OO9009 63mm Sunglass

My old XLJ lenses were completely trashed. So were my Flak 2.0. I decided to get these for the XLJs and replacement Oakley Prizm polarized for the 2.0s. Obviously, these are almost 5 times cheaper, so take that into consideration. BUT...there is a very noticeable difference in quality between them. Id say the replacement Oakleys are 5 times better. First off, everything is packaged fine and well protected so theres no worry about scratched lenses, etc. The lenses are a little tough to get in. Almost to the point were I was thinking they werent right. But once they are in, its all good. The rubber seems fine too. Fit as it should.The VLT of 8-10% seems consistent. The polarization is OK...not great, but sufficient. The most noticeable drawback is there is like a distortion which affects the clarity. Its hard to explain, but things dont get "crisp" and "focused" like they do with the originals. Some of that has to do with the Prizm technology of the Oakley lenses. But it was also noticeable between these and my old beat up original XLJ (non-Prizm) lenses.I would suggest these replacements for your back up sunglasses, which is what my XLJs are now. I just throw them in my work or gym bag in case I forget my 2.0s. For your main sunglasses, go with the original Oakley replacements. There is a huge difference in the crispness and clarity.Overall, if you have an older pair of sunglasses lying around that youd like to refresh and use as a backup, this is the product for you. Hands down. Sufficient renewal for around 20 bucks cant be beat. But just realize that there is much better quality out there.

The rubber leg covers that go around the “O” are a lot bulkier than the originals and fit more loosely. The edges of the nose pieces also don’t line up with the frame as well, they look like they’re not made for these frames. The lenses themselves look cool on the outside, but I get a lot of glare at almost any angle that I never had with the original lenses. Also, the tinting/reflective coating is not consistent because if I keep my eye trained on one spot as I turn my head from side to side, the level of tint changes dramatically and the glare is really distracting. Looking at a phone screen is distorted as well, such was not the case with the original polarized lenses. Would not buy again.

..But I had to on this item!If you're ordering for Oakley Flaks...Hands-Down the best Rebuild Kit thus far!Lenses are Polarized! Perfectly Clear!Rubbers fit perfect! No loose areas!Included everything needed to entirely rebuild my Flaks!I had no issues cleaning the lenses with alcohol and lens cloth!If you've ever ordered a factory rebuild kit...and know how to properly install everything... you'll love this kit!Highly-Highly Recommend!

I purchased the Pro+ Chrome Silver Polarized - Anti-salt replacement lens and found the lens quality to be very good. The lenses are properly polarized, evenly tinted and there is no visual distortion of any kind. They have held up very well as I have heavily used them for over 6 months and they really do work well in salt water environments.The rubber parts are another matter. They did seem to fit well but after about 4 months or so they have all swollen up and become loose. Clearly a sign that they do not hold up well against body oils and exposure to the sun. Wish they were more robust.That said, I would buy lenses again but would look elsewhere for the rubber parts.

I’d been dealing with scratches up lenses for years because I was unwilling to spend $100 on replacement Oakley lenses. I tried these out and they fit perfectly. The color did not appear 100% the same as my genuine Oakley lenses, but they were probably 95%. I love these and really enjoy having scratch-free lenses again. Great alternative product. I did not use the rubber parts yet so I can’t rate those, but the lenses alone are worth it.

Lens are messed up when looking at radio or phone. It’s distorted. Don’t waste money

I like the idea of having adaptive lenses; my daughter has them in her prescription glasses as well. Too bad the lenses I got had a little white area in them once they adapted to the sun.As you can see, they do turn dark, albeit very slow. So that part works. If they could only get their QA under control, they might actually provide a good product. Three stars for the effort, but I returned them.

Cheap describes all aspects of this. It doesn’t cost much so you get what you pay for. Lenses are fine for drugstore quality. They have a decent fit but they slightly wiggle in the frame. The rubber nose pieces are a complete joke. First pair fell off within a few minutes and were lost. Second pair came off a few minutes later when my glasses were on top of my head. I noticed when I was in the shower and saw them floating down the drain. If you want cheap replacement lenses, these are ok...just ok.. If you are looking for rubber replacement parts for the frame, avoid this at all costs. The fit of the rubber replacement is garbage. I would return it, but I can’t since it’s missing the parts now.

Update August 2020 - They've stopped transitioning and now remain clear????? Only used a micro cloth to clean the lens so not sure what's going on here.Ordered the photochromic lenses. I was surprised at how clear they were when I unpacked them and initially thought they had sent me the clear lenses by accident. With the help of Google, I switched out the old lenses with the new ones, cleaned them with the nice micro fabric pouch that was included and went outside. Not sure if the Gods were with me but it had to be the brightest day in the last two weeks and with the ground still covered in snow... excellent test conditions.And results.... HUGE PASS. Wow. I wasn't expecting them to turn so dark so fast. These lenses are great, exceeded my expectations. They will make a good companion for many indoor and outdoor purposes. Can't wait for the snow to disappear and use them for early morning bike rides, late evening bike rides.... basically.... all my bike rides.The rubber on my glasses were still in good shape, so I didn't swap them out. However, the new parts look identical to the original ones when I bought the Oakley Flak. The rubber quality feels the same as well.

I bought this kit specifically for the replacement rubber parts, and for that purpose this is perfect. It was a little tricky to slide the new rubber covers on, but now my Oakley's look pretty much brand new!The brown lenses that come in this kit look nice, however they do NOT fit. They look like the shape is very close, however I could not get them snap in no matter how hard I tried. It got to point where I figured either the frames would break, or the lens would shatter. I used a substantial amount of force, and tried many different ways, but it was not happening. I have the Oakley Flak Jacket XLJ model of frames, however maybe this part doesn't work with the specific model # I have?

Excellent product. PapaViva have been the only lenses I can find that are actually 'bronze' when looking out. Others I have ordered have been advertised as Bronze, but are actually grey when looking out. I love the Bronze outlook on life. Also, the fit is just about as good as my OEMs. Definitely polarized. Definitely they repel water like my originals. I have actually bought several of these because they are soooo hard to find ones that are actually bronze when looking out. Also, they have POLARIZED etched on them like the OEM's. I am very pleased with these, and as I said, stocked up on them. You can no longer the OEMs from the manufacturer. These are the next best things for sure. Love them.

The lenses are thinner than OEM Oakley lens and therefore they are a bit loose and make the sunglasses feel a bit sloppy when opening and closing. Lens can fall out a bit too easy.coloring of the lens is quite yellowing when wearing even though the lens color on the exterior is blue. Was very surprised by this combination and do not like the brownish lens gives when wearing. The landscape your viewing get less vibrant when wearing vs authentic oakley lens that actually adds vibrancy and visual enhancement.Rubbers fit great though

Lens look great and seem of quality… only issue is I did not read the details of the product before ordering… and they don’t fit my glasses because they are of a different model :-( but product deserves a good rating..
