These are DOPE! Oakley's take on the classic aviator is a winner for me. So far I'm not a big fan of the crosshair, but these are sick. The orbitals are big, like an aviator should be, and wrap around to provide great coverage and good looks. The trigger stems are a nice departure from the norm and the logo on the top of the nose bridge is a sweet detail.

The frame color is pretty unique and goes well with the gold clear. The gold clear lenses are an awesome looking shade for low light situations. Of course they provide no shade from bright light, but that's not the point with these. The iridium coating on this lens is very reflective, which does great at hiding the eyes despite being a clear lens.

Whenever I've worn these they get lots of attention, it's pretty cool. They look totally aviator, but with a modern twist that makes for a more functional and awesome looking pair of shades. I look forward to getting at least a few more colorways for bright situations, olive looks really cool.

Yet another release I've warmed to much after the initial release. Seems all the Stretchline models were winner, they just took a while to show it.

The Coverage on these is great. Most wires don't give you that much, but there won't be any worry of sunlight leaking in here. The frame works well as a trigger, with the Crosshair assuming the hammer design, there's surely a place for both to exist. The camo print is a nice touch, and it's nice to see some designs making their way to the wires instead of just O Matter. Gold Clear is a fairly useless lens, but since I've transitioned to collecting, this makes a wonderful addition.

While not in love with aviators, I really like the way this pair wears. The lenses have a deeper, more teardrop shape to them than the Crosshairs, but I can wear these high enough on my nose that it only matters if I'm laughing and my cheeks are puckered up. The trigger stems, in combination with the stretch logo is classic Oakley. Then, the logo is also repeated on the top of the nose bridge. That is a nice detail that will commonly be overlooked. Overall, these are a nice take on the aviator.

The frames are sound, but a bit thinner than I'm used to seeing. Although I feel like I could easily bend them, they seem strong enough and they're holding up just fine.

I love Warden's! I actually bought these for a friend, so didn't have much time with them, but the frame color is sweet. The way the stretch icons are 2 toned with gunmetal grey is a really classy touch. The grey lenses are a little boring for me, but they fit well with the all black theme. My friend loves them and I'm a little sad to see them go, but giving the gift of clear vision is satisfying in itself.
