Authentic Aviator Sunglasses

Price:$129.00

Item#:1073497

Qty: Available, ready to ship.






These are the classic aviator sunglasses, and the only ones handcrafted to military specifications. Originally issued to U.S. Navy pilots and aircrew, NASA astronauts, and the legendary Blue Angels beginning in 1977. Scratch-resistant, UVA- and UVB-resistant gray lenses are noted for their true color reception. The unique bayonet temples are designed to fit under a helmet, making them just as comfortable with any hat. Hand-polished 24-karat gold-plated frames with virtually unbreakable solder joints.

Made in U.S.A. 5 1/2''W x 1 3/4''H.

          i purchased them for my husband, who has really been feeling the effects of macular degeneration. . light sensitivity, etc. He uses them all the time and they are comfortable for him and really help with the glare. He brags about them to everyone he sees.

              The aviator glasses were too small. I suggest they be advertised for children, women or small framed men!

                They are a really great pair of sunglasses fit for any occasion, but a bit more care should be taken in the sizing, mine fit perfectly but wouldnt fit a close friend of mine.

                Comments about Authentic Aviator Sunglasses:

                There is no choice of size in NG website, and there is no mention during my purchase what size NG is going to send me. The overcome is the glasses I received is too small for my head.
                I noticed from the manufacturer's website that they did offer 3 different sizes to suit different head size. The bigger one should fit me better.
                The worse thing is that NG team is not able to get me the answer until now regarding the size of the glasses that I received. Unacceptable service.

                    Great sunglasses. I have wanted a pair of these since my enlistment in the U S Air Force in the mid 60's.
