 A classic design that performsMay 10, 2009
By Kevin R. Johnson
These are great. The are spectacular if you are a pilot. They don't fall off your nose when you look down, they always sit in the same place on your face, and they are not polarized so you see that little flash of glare that is sometimes the only sign of that other airplane nearby. These glasses are far superior to many other sunglasses for aviators, and they cost far less than most. I have 4 pairs of them, that's how much I like them.
The cons... They don't take being dropped well. You will break the plastic part along the top off if you drop them onto a hard surface. I found this out because they seem particularly prone to slipping out of a shirt pocket. Thankfully if they are in the case this seems to be a non-issue. Also they set off TSA metal detectors every single time, but you're a pilot so why don't you fly your plane and spare yourself the "services" of the Thousands Standing Around ;-) So really there are no cons if you fly right with these.

 These are some great, cheap glasses. With a modification. And if your ears fit okay. And if you have the right sized head.Jan 23, 2011
By Eddie Patin
I recently bought some cheap aviator with typical ... ear bars. (What are those things called, anyway?) And those cheapos looked cool, and fit decently, but they were too light and frequently fell off.
So after a bit of research, I decided to try these. Another reviewer had it right when he said, 'great except for the yellow detail'. Exactly. The 'yellow detail' is a totally unnecessary cross-bar that goes across the top of the glasses, inside the frame a bit, apparently designed to hold the glasses away from your face a bit to compensate for the hooked ear pieces.
Well, that 'yellow detail' looks COMPLETELY retarded. (Pardon me, you politically correct folks who find that term offensive.) Unbearably so. Remedy? Take some wire-cutter and snip them off at the welding-points where the 'yellow detail' attaches to the glasses. Cut it close, so you don't leave a couple of sharp points that could gouge your brow.
Instantly 100% better. Now they look like decent aviators (although SLIGHTLY larger than normal). And the pieces that hook over the ears are AWESOME. I've never seen those on glasses before, and they feel good and hold the glasses on well ... if the layout of your head and ears are compatible. I've heard a reviewer (or two?) complain of them pulling on the ears. Today, I caught the hook poking the back of my right ear a little, but bending it seemed to fix it. (The hooks are very flexible.)
So, if they're shaped well to your head, and your 'brow to ear depth ratio' fits with the hooks, and you cut off that stupid yellow thing and its associated metal, then you've got yourself some pretty sweet aviators.
And the case is nice, too.
Pretty fast shipping from this vendor.

 Kids toy glassesApr 07, 2012

Is this some sort of joke? Not worth two dollars! I feel robbed of the ten dollars I spent on these toy glasses.
