We took the formulas for lens rake and XYZ Optics®, trimmed the dimensions and honed the aesthetics. Condensed cranial geometry produces eyewear for smaller faces-because wind, UV and projectiles don?t sidestep the challenge of tighter targets. Optical acuity remains full scale with a wide-screen peripheral view. Prescription ready.

Frame: Navy (Michigan)
Lens: Black Iridium

No surprise why this has been one of Oakley's longest running models. Minute takes the smooth lines of Eye Jacket and the more triangular lens shape of Straight Jacket, then shrinks the overall size a bit to provide a snug fit for the smaller-headed folk among us (both men and women equally well). Like other members of the Jacket family at that time, Minute has Unobtainium on the earstems but plain molded-in nosepieces. The earsocks have thin oval holes toward the back where the earstems poke through... a little unique flair to distinguish the styling a bit from other Jackets. The small, teardrop-shaped lenses fit well for those with flat noses and/or high cheekbones, as the upswept lower frame is less likely to rest on one's cheeks compared to other lens/frame geometries.

Like the Michigan XX, the Navy frame color is a paint finish over white O-Matter. The metal icons on the earstems are a light yellowish gold. The block M etched on the lower left lens completes the Michigan theme, but I still think Oakley should have used 24K for the lens color instead, especially since it was already available with other frame colors.

Best pair of sunglasses I have ever owned. Bought them new at the Sunglass Hut many years ago and lost them the other day.

Very dark lenses - no one could see my eyes. Comfortable but they were a little small for my face.

They were in excellent condition. I have had 6 different pairs of Oakleys over the years - these had lasted me that long!

I'm on the search for a new set now. Maybe the Bottle Rocket or the discontinued Bottle caps.

I guess it was time to move on.

This was my second pair of Oakley glasses. I left a pair of the silver and Ice at a rest stop. I loved these glasses. They felt very secure when wearing them and the fire iridium lens was great for even the sunniest days. I would still be wearing them if I hadn't broken the ear piece when i sat on them. Tried to get a replacement part from Oakley but they were out of stock.

These were my oakley "virgins" I love these glasses to this day in fact have two pair. Need nose & ear pieces for one, but they are solid durable and they look and hold up great!

Frame: FMJ 5.56
Lens: Polarized Fire

The contrast of blaze orange against the silver-white frame of this pair is amazing. Matching orange icons and Oakley logo on the nosebridge add additional visual appeal, and orange unobtainium earsocks provide additional comfort. Encased in a full metal jacket of Oakley's 5.56 finish, the frames have added strength. To top it all off, the fire lenses are polarized. No matter how you slice this loaf of bread, this is just one classic pair of Oakleys.
