If you were following the Open Championship at St. Andrews earlier this month you must have noticed how tough the conditions were, with torrential downpours, heavy winds and weather delays affecting play. But that didn’t stop Zach Johnson from capturing his second major by beating out Louis Oosthuizen and Marc Leishman in a playoff while sporting a pair of Oakley Fast Jacket sunglasses.

The American says his eyewear played a part in his tremendous victory at the Old Course, explaining: “I wear a lens by Oakley that in conditions like this enhances the light. I see the greens and my reads better.”

With Fast Jacket, Oakley claim they havetaken the idea of “adapt and conquer” to the extreme. The Oakley Fast Jacket is a performance product with a unique interchangeable lens design that lets you match your optics to your environment. Switching out the lenses is fast and easy, thanks to Switchlock™ Technology. It’s an innovation that locks the lenses in place with a quick release system.

With Switchlock, the lenses are securely suspended without any stresses that could alter the optics, so you’ll have premium clarity with true, accurate vision. Between sunrise and sunset, there’s a whole spectrum of possibility, but you can’t take advantage of it unless your vision can adapt. If the sun pulls a disappearing act or busts its way through the clouds, just swap out the lenses with a different set.

Pro athletes know it takes the right combination of light filtering, glare blocking, visual contrast and color balance to help them perform at their best, and it varies from sport to sport and place to place. With Fast Jacket, they have the power to adapt their vision quickly and give themselves every possible advantage.
