Quick Change

At last! The Oakley Polarized Fast Jacket XL ($280) ends our search for sunglasses with interchangeable lenses--one for low light and another for blaring sun, for instance--that lock and load faster than we could tie our laces. (Search: What type of eye protection is required for runners?) Plus, the clarity of the polarized lenses kept our eyes fresh so we could stay focused on the road ahead.
