Aviator Sunglasses
Cool Shades not just for pilots

Aviator sunglasses goes back to the times when pilots and military officers need to cover their eyes from the daily missions they have to attend during World War II. In 1942, these are used by pilots during their daily missions and fights with the enemies. Until now, they are still the choice for many military personnel and the civilians.

Ray Ban is the company that introduced aviator shades to the world in 1937. The trendy design is made popular by movies such as the Miami Vice and Top Gun. Since then, aviator sun glasses have become very popular and to date, it is the most imitated sunglass collection in the world.

This type of shades are polarized to protect the eyes from harmful rays and lights. The lenses, especially dark ones, are reflective. The lenses are also not straight, slightly bulging in order to cover the entire eyes from dangerous rays and harmful lights.

Although specifically designed for flying and military usage, aviator sunglasses are seen as highly fashionable by the public. This is the reason why they have become immensely popular and can be seen on the faces of many people on the streets.

There are many choices for such sunglasses in the market. Polarized ones are extremely suited for eye care protection and offered in both polycarbonate and glass lenses. In order to add more protection, you can choose tinted lenses for the cooling effect on a hot day.

The wrap design of the frames makes them comfortable to wear. You might not notice this but the reason for the wrap style is to elevate the anti-glare protection to its maximum. The material used to make the frames is highly durable, and extremely lightweight.
