INSPIRATION
Oakley Engineering brings the most versatile protective eyewear forward with SI Speed Jacket. Designed with direct input from Law Enforcement and Competitive Shooters, SI Speed Jacket combines all day fit and comfort with performance attributes in a modern silhouette. Using Switchlock™ technology, we integrated a single quick release trigger on the temples for rapid lens exchange. Fully compliant with ANSI Z87.1 impact standards, the lens also offers a wide field of view and is assorted with multiple lens variations to include Prizm™ lens technology. Unobtanium® nosepieces provide grip during hot and sweaty conditions, and thin ear-stem technology is designed for over the ear communication systems compatibility and hat integration. SI Speed Jacket delivers all day fit and comfort, and built for those moments of dynamic and competitive movement.

Hello from Greece,
I was wondering if all the prizm series lenses are rated as MIL-PRF3243 Ballistic resistant or just the m frame alphas? I can’t find any information not even in the Oakley site.
Thanks in advance,
Jimmy K.
Hello Jimmy,
as far as we know, between the M-Frame Alpha and the Speed Jackets, only the Alphas are rated and certified with the ANSI Z87.1 ballistic impact resistance.
We have both of them and we have checked the boxes as well as the frame of the glasses.
We believe that one of the biggest factors is the lower size and footprint of the Speed Jacket’s lenses, they don’t cover enough for being considered protective by shrapnel and fragments.
Nonetheless both are great optics and we highly recommend them for tactical and training use, just keep in mind how much you will be exposed to possible fragmentations.
Please note these glasses are not Z87 or ANSI stamped. I was led to beleive they where but I just purchase from SI and they are not stamped. Unfortunately these glasses cannot be used on a job site. Disappointed but there still very nice sunglasses otherwise.
Thank you very much for your feedback. We will definitely add this to any future publication.
