Oakley Crosshair Polarized Sunglasses

Oakley Crosshair Polarized Aviator Sunglasses

The Oakley Crosshair is the aviator reinvented by the brand that holds more than 600 patents in optics and performance eyewear. Where classic aviator styling meets Oakley's obsession with optical precision, the Crosshair delivers a frame purpose-built for men who refuse to compromise between how their sunglasses look and how well they perform. Devoted to making the best sunglasses on the planet, Oakley has let invention lead the way since 1975, and the Crosshair is one of its most enduring expressions of that mission.

Prizm Polarized Lens Technology

At the heart of the Crosshair is Oakley's Prizm lens technology, engineered to fine-tune vision for specific environments by enhancing contrast and color detail. The polarized filter eliminates horizontal glare reflected off water, pavement, and glass, so objects appear sharper and the visual field is dramatically less fatiguing over a full day of driving, boating, or outdoor activity. Oakley's plutonite lens material filters 100% of UVA, UVB, and UVC radiation, providing complete protection across the full UV spectrum.

Polarization works by blocking scattered light waves oriented at angles that cause glare. Oakley's process bonds the filter directly into the lens rather than coating the surface, which preserves optical clarity over time and resists the delamination common to lesser constructions.

Metal Frame Construction

The Crosshair frame is built from a lightweight metal alloy shaped into the double-bridge aviator silhouette visible in the product image. The architecture keeps weight low while maintaining the rigidity needed to hold the lenses in precise optical alignment. Unobtanium ear socks and nose pads provide a secure, non-slip grip that actually improves as perspiration increases, so the frame stays in place during active use rather than sliding down. The signature Oakley icon is stamped into the temple tip, and the hinge articulation is engineered for thousands of open-close cycles without loosening.

Design Philosophy

Established in 1975 and headquartered in Southern California, Oakley built its reputation by treating performance eyewear as an engineering problem first and a fashion statement second. More than 600 patents reflect that discipline. The Crosshair inherits this lineage, combining a heritage silhouette with materials and optical coatings that weren't available to the original aviator designers. The result is a sunglass that works as well on the water or behind the wheel as it does walking into a meeting.

Care and Lens Replacement

Clean Prizm lenses with the included microfiber bag or a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with water. Avoid abrasive cloths, household cleaners, and solvents, all of which can degrade the lens coatings. Oakley's lens replacement program means the Crosshair frame has a long service life; replacement lenses for the Crosshair are available directly through Oakley's lens program, making it straightforward to refresh the optics or switch to a different Prizm tuning without replacing the entire frame.
