AO American Optical Flight Gear General Series

AO American Optical Flight Gear General Series Sunglasses, Silver Frame, True Color (Gray) 30588

 These are very solid and heavy-duty, but even though I don't have super-oily skin, they have a tendency to slip down on my nose no matter how I adjust the spatulas.

If I don't keep pushing them back up, they go all the way down and do a clothespin pinch on my nostrils. I like to breathe through my nose, sometimes.


I really don't want to have to buy sandpaper nose bridge pads to keep them on my nose properly. Or maybe get sub-dermal magnet implants to make them stay in one place. If there's another solution, please comment on this review.

Ray-Ban Classic Metals

These are brand-new but vintage Bausch & Lomb Ray-Ban sunglasses. Authenticity can be verified by noting the small "BL" etching on the lens. All of Dolly's Sunglasses merchandise is in brand-new condition and has been kept in dry, air-conditioned storage. Because much of our merchandise is vintage, however, there is a chance that the product packaging may be faded or otherwise imperfect. Please contact Dolly's Sunglasses directly if you have any questions about our merchandise. Thanks for shopping with us. Over the past 40 years or so I've had maybe 4 pairs of these. I think the first pair cost about $65, but then, I was making about $1.25 an hour at the time, too (and gasoline was 35 cents a gallon!). My how times change! These are heavy and expensive, but I am used to the weight. I like the cable earpieces. If you have the normal earpieces, the weight of the glasses tends to make them slip down or off when one looks downward - especially if it is hot and you are sweating. You can easily adjust the cable portion with a pair of needle-nosed pliers to fit comfortably. Optically these are absolutely perfect and there is no problem in wearing them all day.

Amazon.com Product Description
The latest edition of the Oil Rig comes with redesigned stem architecture that puts the icon of innovation in the crosshairs of dimensional grooves. Art meets attitude in a style that carries a single continuous lens across contours of lightweight O Matter frame material. Oakley uniquely curves the frame so even medium-size faces get a precise fit that doesn’t stick out at the sides. The sculpturally integrated hinges are engineered with dual cam action, and the linear ear stems provide a comfortably secure grip. High Definition Optics (HDO®) takes advantage of Polaric Ellipsoid lens geometry to maintain clarity while curving the lenses for optimal side protection and extended peripheral view. The Plutonite lens material filters out every ray of UV, and both impact protection and optical precision meet ANSI Z87.1 standards.

Lost My Oil Rig, Buying another5
I just lost my favorite pair of sunglasses. The Oakley Oil Rig! I wear them every day and can't live without them so here I am at 2am on a Friday night ordering another pair. They're that good. Comfort level is very high and the field of view is amazing. You don't see the frame at all when looking through them. They look bold and bad ass and are worth every penny. I only wish they came with a cable that would permanently attach them to my face.

Great Glasses5
I bought a pair of these about a year ago and sadly...I left them on the airplane a few days ago. I am ordering another pair for a multitude of reasons. 1. The clarity through them is great. 2. I have a big head....lets be honest, its hard to find glasses for a big head and these fit great. Cant wait for the new pair to get here!

Exceptional product5
I have owned these for a couple years now and I am still very happy with them. I have dropped them tons of times...no dents, dings or scratches. One time I slammed my head into a door frame with my Oil Rig's being the only buffer to my skull. My eyes were watering from the pain but my Oakley's...perfectly fine.

I have a medium-wide face and they fit perfectly. On a boat or in a convertible the wind never once bothers my eyes. The only thing is I wish I had coughed up the extra $70 for the polarized. I live in Florida and spend a decent amount of time at the beach or on lakes and the polarized would be nice for contrast on the water (you never know about sharks or gators).

  

10701 Genuine Air Force Pilots Sunglasses AO

The US Armed Forces best kept secret is now available in the consumer market. Performance-tested sunglasses with classic aviator styling. The Original Pilot Sunglass has been a favorite of US military pilots for almost 50 years. Engineered to rigid military specifications and issued to millions of US soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen since 1958. The rugged and sturdy structure and high quality finishing of the steel alloy frame coupled with distortion free, toughened and polished True Color glass lens have made the AO Flight Gear Collection the standard bearer of all fine military sunglasses.

Great glasses at a great price4
These are great sunglasses. The optics are really good and the construction is solid. And you can't beat the look. Some may find them a tad on the heavy side due to the use of real glass but I like the solid feel. I was concerned that they aren't polarized but so far it hasn't been an issue. I have a smaller face and have trouble finding a good fit. The American Optical's in the 52mm are perfect for me. The case they come with is nice. Nothing fancy but it does the job. I do wish they came with a cleaning cloth but that's a minor complaint.
Good sunglasses for the price.4
The glasses arrived quickly and came nicely boxed and with a soft case. The AO Pilot sunglasses have a sturdy gold plated metal frame and excellent dark glass lenses. The downside of this is the additional weight, which you notice when wearing them for an extended period of time.

Be aware, the styling is very retro but if that's a look you like theses glasses achieve it admirably. If you want a more modern look the same model is available with a chrome frame and grey lenses.The 52mm lens size is best suited to a smaller face.

Overall they are excellent value for money.
Compares favorably with Randolph brand5
As a motorcyclist I am hard on sunglasses. I usually purchase Randolph brand sunglasses for their quality and durability. I decided to give these a try and was not disappointed. Lens color is neutral while providing very good light attenuation.

Only time will tell regarding durability and these units "seem" a bit less robust than Randolph, but only by a very small margin if at all.

A Quick Guide to Sunglass Wear-Why, When and Where

Sunglasses have been considered a fashion statement for decades, worn by celebrities and other famous folks in either a desperate attempt to conceal their identity or to play the movie star role, all while looking fabulous.  Even though this usage still exists, more and more average people are realizing the importance of wearing them to protect their invaluable eyesight.

Even though the sun is over 93 million miles away, its harmful rays can be the sole cause of an assortment of health problems.  Ultra violet radiation (also known as UV radiation or UV rays) is probably the largest solar-based contributor to such health problems. UV-A, UV-B and UV-C are the categories of UV radiation known to us at this time.  With the exception of UV-C (which is believed to be absorbed by the ozone layer around the earth), these rays can have both short and long term effects to your eyes and your vision.

Now that you’re a bit more aware of why, you need to know more about when.  For instance, UV rays reflect off of snow, sand, pavement and water, causing a greater risk for damage than in a “greener” environment, like a park or field.  The rays in a reflective situation will be coming at you from two angles instead of the one in a greener environment, as the rays will bounce off of the reflective surface in addition to coming at you straight on. Wearing sunglasses that offer you UV protection will help to protect your eyes when in this type of circumstance.

High altitude is another situation for which sunglasses should be worn. UV rays are filtered out through the earth’s atmosphere, resulting in lesser amounts of the harmful rays converging with the earth’s surface.  Simply put, high altitudes yield a greater amount of the rays because they haven’t had the chance to be filtered yet.

Between the hours of 10 am and 4 pm is the time of day when the UV rays are their most powerful, so protective eyewear is crucial during this timeframe, whether or not the sun is bright and beaming in the sky or hidden behind large amounts of clouds (both white and fluffy and dark and  gloomy).  UV rays can easily leak through the cloud cover and rain to wreak its irreversible damage on your eyes.

Since you now are aware of the situations that necessitate proper eyewear protection, you need a brief list of what to look for when shopping for your ideal pair of sunglasses.  Typically, lenses that are green, brown or grey work the best, combined with a feature that filters out of at least 99% of UV-A and UV-B radiation and 75% - 90% of visible light. Taking care of your baby blues, browns and greens now will ensure you a lifetime of beautiful visions.
