The night before the 2010 Ford Ironman World Championships, Oakley invited media and a few other industry folks for the reveal of the brand new Oakley Fast Jacket performance eyewear. This is the second time that Oakley has launched new glasses at Ironman Hawaii, showing their continued interest in that fast growing market. But these new shades won't be available until spring 2011.

The passionate super star Greg Welch invited, and lots of people came to check out the new Fast Jacket unveil.

Greg Welch explained to the attending media that no one should handle these Oakley Fast Jackets as they were 1 of only 3 existing pairs, but once Paula Newby-Fraser put them on her face, Welchy had to add "unless you won Kona 8 times."
