Anybody have them? Likes/dislikes, etc are great. I'm thinking I might get some but are they worth the extra $$? Any opinions please.

Half Jackets are dope... they were my favorite shade till i lost them.. I would reccomend getting the XLJ as they are slighlty biger....

i have a pair and i love em. so much so that im actually looking for another set. the interchangeable lenses are cool but being oakley the lenses arent super cheap (40-70 for regular ones and 60-90 for polarized). i agree that i like the fit and look of the xlj lenses better as well. i will warn you though that the polarized vs non polarized lenses are different thicknesses and the xlj vs non xlj lenses are slightly different widths. i was able to take a pair of non polarized non xlj half jackets and shove a pair of polarized xlj lenses in them but it took some work as the frame had to be worked in and expand a bit to accept the larger and thicker lenses.

So could a pair of standard lenses fit in an XLJ frame and visa versa?

yeah. basically what i was trying to explain was that fitting a polarized xlj lense into a frame that originally came with non polarized standard lenses is the hardest scenario but can be done if you just take some time to work the lense into the frame. any other combo should be a peice of cake. i can swap my original standard lenses back into the frames in a couple seconds easily.

You shouldnt try to promote your sales in other peoples threads, its annoying. If the thread were WTB it would be different.
