DESIGNED FOR TOMORROW, DELIVERED TODAY: A NEW ERA OF OAKLEY JACKET EYEWEAR AND JAPAN FIELD GEAR LINE COLLECTION

Since 1994, Oakley Jackets have followed their own rules. What began as a rebellion against how sport performance eyewear was “supposed” to look shattered perceptions with the birth of an unprecedented high-wrap, twin-lens frame. Traditionally curated for athletes who challenged the status quo, the Oakley Jackets became more than a symbol of performance. 

Over three decades later, in 2026, a new era begins. Born from the same pioneering mindset, pushing beyond the realm of performance without ever losing their original DNA, the Jackets join Oakley's Artifacts from the Future; inventions wrapped in art, designed for tomorrow and delivered today. 

Eyewear that fits the face the way apparel fits the body, a philosophy that comes full circle with Oakley's Japan Field Gear Line Collection; innovative gear engineered to protect from the elements, as bold and uncompromising as the eyewear itself. 

Inspired by the frames that started it all (Eye Jacket 1994, Straight Jacket 1999, Racing Jacket 1998, Water Jacket 2000, Flak Jacket 2007), the new members of the Jackets family carry that legacy into a design language where form drives function, mixing genres to push design further.  

Plantaris SQ transforms the artifact into a squared iteration of the original frame. Neoforma lets the same spirit breathe through kinetic roots and pure forward flow, while Terraforma delivers stark impact with a universal silhouette and futuristic edge. The versatility of the Jackets extends further with Neoture and Neomata, prescription frames that blend a nostalgic soul with future-forward design for those who define their own aesthetic. Reintroduced in 2019, Eye Jacket Redux honors Oakley heritage with a re-engineered outlook, while Suture Jacket, available starting in April, sharpens the concept into more aggressive territory, a spiked evolution built like armor and designed for performance. 

Every Jacket finds its match in Oakley's Field Gear Line Collection, designed in Japan, distributed globally. Pair Plantaris SQ and Neomata with the newly released FGL Stealth Line capsule collection, including FGL Stealth Jacket, FGL Stealth Tee, and FGL Stealth Pant. Engineered with “invisible” functionality that blends into external environments, the collection enables missions to be executed without detection while balancing design minimalism with maximum material performance.  

Purpose-built to protect and store gear in even the harshest conditions, the FGL AP Vest pairs with the Eye Jacket Redux, built for the outdoors. Complete the look with Neoforma and Neoture alongside FGL Slick Crew and FGL Factor Shorts, breathable apparel engineered to reduce temperatures as the heat turns up.  

Redefine style standards with the latest evolution of Oakley Jackets and the Japan Field Gear Line Collection, available now on Oakley.com and at select Oakley stores and partners worldwide.
