Plaintiff Squared
Bigger face guy here. Got these as a gift after they were already OOP. Couldn't love them more. My daily glasses for over a decade now.

The push and stay at the top of my nose, and they don't touch my eye lashes, a big issue I have.

A Wire
Frame: (NOT Thick) Blk.A WIRE
Lens: BLACK IRIDUM
I am 6'6" & 180 lbs. The variety of frames that fit my narrow head,w/out taking over my face were few and far between, and there was always a hand full of problems or things I did'nt like at all.
But, the orig.A WIRE w/ the Hammerfin style ear socks solved nearly all my frustrations.
You can not beat a CLASSIC style. Ten years ago,I was turned on to these in particular for their comfort fit and clarity of optics. Working in construction,I found myself loving them more & more daily. After almost loosing an eye, I learned that it was Oakley's saftey standards that allowed me to keep both my eyes. These saftey specs.,as well as clarity, comfort and timeless style are just a few reasons why I will not entrust my valuable visual sight to anything less than the best.
:Vintage OAKLEY since 1999: & still sportin' em
p.s. Now, if only I could easily find replacement softwear for vintage specs.(hammerfinn unobtanium)w/out shipping them to Oakley.(I'd miss them too much and my others just are'nt the same.) !!!THANK YOU OAKLEY!!!

A Wire

Frame: Carbon
Lens: Black Iridium Polarized

This was my first pair of wire Oakleys. I liked them until I bent the frame slightly and could never get a good fit after that. I agree with some here about the winged earsocks having a tendency to twist. I don't wear them anymore because the coverage is just not enough for me, I tend to like the bigger lenses.

Latitude Sling Pack
I've carried this Sling Pack for more than 6 months now and can confidently say it is amazing. First of all, the size in person caught me off guard. It was a little bigger than I expected and the shoulder strap was a bit too wide.

I also expected to be able to switch the side of the shoulder strap (Like the Extractor Sling Pack), but later realized how the way it comes is perfect if I have a dominant right hand. Very fast to put on and take off. Different dividers inside for organization of your items. The bottle sleeve has no problem carrying 32oz bottles.

The Cordura is amazing quality, and the Parachute fabric in the middle so amazingly soft and satisfying. Glad I was able to get this in boulder greed. Gives off Oakley Software vibes, like the Sandbag.

Encoder
The pair I purchased had excess glue all over the lens nearly a centimeter onto the lens. Oakley sent a replacement out but they were delivered with scratched lenses! I can't get a replacement for these because they're telling me I did it! Buyer beware!!!!

HSTN M
Got a pair delivered from Oakley and the lens had a 1-2mm gap in the lens near the nose. Tried to take them out and reinsert closer to the nose but they had a strange tab on the lens that locks them in place. A replacement pair Oakley arranged also had this problem, so did the 2nd replacement. Yes, Oakley sent me three pairs with the lens not fitting in the frames after assuring me the sunglasses were inspected prior to posting. Avoid this model

BXTR
Ordered them direct from Oakley and they arrived with markings all over the lens like when a wall hasn't been wiped down prior to painting. Not what I expected considering the price for 6 bits of injection molded nylon, some silicon, and a polycarbonate lens

Frogskins Hybrid
Opened the box and it had a scratched lens. Oakley replaced them but the new ones STILL had a scratched lens and the paint on the logo was misaligned making them look like knock offs. I eventually got a 3rd pair after constant discussion with the robotic customer services and these had the "Assembled in USA" stick loose in the microfiber pouch. Avoid!

Holbrook
Sharp seam on one side of the nose. One side has been smoothed but the other has a harsh line. Replacement pair have the same problem. After a month of back and fourth Oakley says that's normal and having a sharp seam on one side of the nose is by design (?) I can't wear them because they're so uncomfortable

awful frame with hard screws

O-Shiesty Beanie
Very thin, but feels warm. The balaclava and beanie are attached at four small points within the beanie, they look to be easy enough to snip out if you want to separate the two, although the balaclava is not branded by Oakley

AP Sandbag
Dark Fatigue Colorway

This AP Sandbag is really cool and somewhat nice, Looks very unique and strange in a cool way. Although for me, someone who commutes everyday I see this bag as somewhat very impractical it's huge yet it doesn't have that much space at the same time, the sling is helpful alot but the space of this bag just throws me off. If only the accesorie inside the back can be removable it would be very great

Belleville
These feel really solid, heavier than other oakleys I own. the hinges appear to actually have a pin running through them rather than just relying on o-matter and friction like some other frames. the shape, weight, and width of the stems at the temples makes them feel (and look) rather like safety glasses. On the upside, since very little light can make its way around the frame, you don't get glare when the sun is behind or on the side of you

Protection Hoodie
My favorite hoodie of an arsenal of hoodies. Water-resistant 70/30 cotton/poly blend knit (re-treat with Nikwax, Grangers, or similar treatment), zip closures on pockets secure items. Emroidered elongated O icon on left chest, block "OAKLEY" on center upper back, above the yoke so the hoodie covers it unless being worn up. My favorite hoodie of an arsenal of hoodies!

Madman
I was too scared to buy these in 2015...

Fast forward to 2025 and now I rock them frequently, no longer confined by giving a shit what other people think of my sunglasses as long as they make me happy.

The Madman is incredibly comfortable , I was wearing them at a farmer's market one weekend and forgot I had them on until I saw peopple looking my way. The lenses are not that small and provide good coverage. You can of course see the outline of the frame all the way around but they are perfectly functional. The spring hinges in the ear stems are very comfortable and alleviate any pinching.

I have the plasma/fire I like to wear because I LOVE the frame, but I also have the carbon/Prizm daily that are slightly more subtle and generally take people a second look. Honestly though, ANY Oakley in Fire Iridium will garner some looks.

Jigawatt
Multiple Colorways

A full frame sportswear frame that fits great with a great wrap and coverage. Other than the full frame the Jigawatt does not have the Slics on the earstems but do no slip.
If you're looking for a great daily wear or sports specific pair the Jigawatt is a great choice. Great fit and feel and the build quality is top notch and the designs are beautiful. Comfortable all day wear with a 9 base curve, great wrap and keeps the sun at bay.
The 3-Way adjustable nose piece is amazing, no more haveing to replace the nosepad to adjusts for a fit as it's all build in with the frame.
I'm a 7 5/8 hat fit and the frames fit great on my face and can wear them all day with no issues. They feel great in the hand and on the face and the lenses are beautiful to look through. Defiantly a frame and brand to check out if you haven't already.
