The Flak 2.0 XL ranks second because it is the most flexible sport frame in Oakley's line. FramesDirect lists the OO9188 in 23 frame and lens colors, 19 of them with Prizm lenses tuned for specific sports: Prizm Field for ball sports, Prizm Dark Golf, Prizm Deep Water Polarized for water and a Clear to Black Photochromic lens for changing light. The semi-rim wrap leaves the lower edge open, which keeps the view down clear for running and cycling. The default Matte Black / Clear pair costs $193, and the nine polarized colors list at $267. FramesDirect shoppers rate it 4.9 from 20 reviews. It comes in one size here, with a 59 mm lens, 12 mm bridge and 133 mm temples, so smaller faces should compare sizes first. For everyday style the Holbrook is the better pick. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not wear-test any frame.
