Pilot Sunglasses?

Question

Does anyone know where I can find, online or in store, relatively inexpensive aviator sunglasses.

I have a pair that were cheap but they are massive. I want a kind that has black lens's and is mirrored, but no so big that they look goofy.

What are your favorite aviator sunglasses?

Thanks

My favorites are my issued ones-because they're free.

In my younger, "rage against the system" 1LT days I wore John Lennon's.

Now I wear Wiley's.  (All of these are prescription BTW).

Answer 3

when i started as mechanic, it use to be the B&L pilot sunglasses is the in thing.But lately in UAE, Singapore, and mostly now pilots seem to wear a variety of sunglasses. Its look good on them and it will do to anyone, i think depends on face shape naturally.

Answer 4

My favorite aviator sunglasses are not aviator sunglasses. They are Varnet ski glasses. Can't imagine why people by aviator sunglasses.

Answer 5

After having gone thru more than a few pair, I have settled on Color Eyes. The lenses really offer great contrast and help me to see other aircraft a little better than some sunglasses.  Their website is www.coloreyes.com or vedalohd.com; both will take you to the same site. Their glasses are not particularly cheap nor overly expensive. You can buy a good sturdy pair for about $150. Some are more.

You may have to search a bit for mirrored lenses like that; I don't care for that style but they're out there.

For cheaper decent quality, look at Randolph Aviators. Sportys sells them as well as other outlets.

Your not trying to be stylish, you want to keep the sun out. The larger they are the less sun comes in the sides top and bottom.

I flew in the Arctic a lot and the glare in the summer from the sun above and the reflection coming off the water and ice and I wanted the biggest piece of glass I could find..
