Hey, I got these sunglasses yesterday, but with the titanium frame. I wore them today and noticed that the polarization effect is not that strong as compared to some other sunglasses I tried (Oakley, Rayban). For example if you look at an lcd screen wearing those with your head sideways, it doesn’t get as dark as some other polarized lenses do. Have you noticed anything of this sort ?
Oakley makes a real quality product and the Crosshair is no exception.
EXCEPT…
It is made for small-medium faces. Those with a wide face or a large frame in general will look more like Morpheus than Maverick in these shades. Try BEFORE you buy. At $260 retail and $130 SI, it’s steep cash for most to drop on a product that might be ill-fitting.
I bought these yesterday, excellent sunglasses! I was looking for some polarised Inmates but saw these and had to have them. A bit expensive though. £170, which is about $270. England sucks!
I think the crosshairs are a little more agressive styling and I am not sure if the plaintiffs normally come in polarized. The Plaintiffs are more sleek aviator style where the crosshairs definitely infuse Oakley styling.
I currently own a pair of polarized flak jackets (which, by the way, I’ve had for 4 years – no problems) and I just need a new pair. I’m kind of tired of the look of the “sport” glasses..
I’ve been looking into the crosshair model, and thanks to your review, I’m headed to my sunglass hut to pick up a pair today 😀
Is there anyway to remove the lens? Is there like a screw or something? I want to get these made with prescriptions but not with oakley because they will charge a fortune.

@BlayzedBlue i completely agree
How do the crosshairs compare to the plaintiffs?
Do you know what the differences are between these and the Crosshair 2.0s?

These are in Oakley’s ACTIVE line, not Lifestyle…
hahaha “and im not wearing pants” lol
I’m not entirely sure, they are in my car at the moment and since their not advertised to switch the lenses I never looked to do it.
what color frame are those? They advertise them as chrome/silver. Which one is it?
I like the way they look like a more modern version of RayBan Aviators.

That is awesome!
lenses might be gray iridium polarized
I agree
Awesome review!!! 🙂
great and funny review.
4:10 If you’re being smacked in the head with a bat, wouldn’t the least of your concerns be if your sunglasses stay on your head?

so polarized or naw? or even worth the extra 100?
