I got these a couple of weeks ago (pre-release) and I've been wearing them for 2 weeks. For folks with higher cheekbones, these glasses, since the lenses are larger, will rest on your cheekbones. So folks who traditionally wear "Asian Fit" may have an issue. As with other "wire" frames, these frames do tend to bend easily, so a hard case is HIGHLY recommended. Also, the lack of unobtanium on the earstems concerns me. The Crosshairs and the other "aviators" in the wire line all have unobtanium which makes them feel more "Secure" to me when I have them on.


On of the design innovations in Plaintiff is the monoshock hinge. Originally appearing in some of the RX frames, the monoshock hinge provides for constant grip, but does not cause any pressure points. If you have problems with your glasses getting loose after you put them up on your head a bunch of times, the monoshock hinge is supposed to fix that for you, as well allowing the arms to flex outwards without putting pressure on the frame.

As for this color combo, it's excellent, understated color combo. There's a real 1980's vibe coming off these glasses and work nicely for both men and women who want a more "retro" oversize aviator look.

After two weeks, I can say that these are an excellent pair. I would rate these 4.5 out of 5 and not a full 5 of 5 because of the lack on unobtanium on the ear stems. However, still an excellent choice for those wanting a classic aviator.

Tried these on when they first came out and they didn't fit at all. Lately I've been losing weight and I guess I lost some in my face because they fit better. The best part of these frames is the weight, extremely light. I can wear these all day with no problems. If they made a titanium version of these I don't think you would notice the difference as in other frames.

Absolutely love the look and feel of this pair. I have 10 plaintiffs now all together none standard all have been ocp ordered or lense swapped or lense cut by doc chop. I wear them a lot and always get tons of compliments on them.

Just got my pair of Infinite Hero Plaintiff's. These look phenominal and are super comfortable. Wish I had seen these sooner.

I like how Oakley released a new pair of aviator style sunglasses after they took the aviator look out of the Crosshair in the 2.0 version. Theses are really nice for driving they are so light that they almost feel like your not wearing anything at all. Unfortunately that is sometimes a bad thing. They do feel very fragile and I could see these getting broken really easily. Also I would not wear these out on the water because they seem like they could slip off very easily. Overall they are a great addition to the collection and are my new driving frame, but I still think the original Crosshair is the best aviator style frame.
