Original Pilot Aviator Sunglasses with Bayonet Temple and Gold Frame, Calobar Green Glass Lens

At first I thought I was ripped off - the glasses are very light so I thought a bootlegger had sold me lookalikes with plastic lenses. So after checking the specs (verifies green glass) I tapped and sure enough - these are glass. The make is superior to most so you get the clarity without the weight. Took them on a desert drive and performance is spectacular. The good looks speak for themselves. So now I have same badass glasses that our badass moon astronauts wore :D

I've had these glasses for approximately six months and they are simply great. I've had lens implants in both eyes and the sunlight can be very blinding to me. Buying on Amazon saved me about 40% off retail if you can find these glasses. I live in Florida so I use these almost every day.

I really love these glasses. I used to purchase the Randolph Engineering brand which I know were issued to the military in the past. I still have a pair from RE, so I could compare them with the AO and I do not see any difference except that these I purchased have the green glass and gold frames where from Randolph I got the gray lens's and matte frames (chrome like). They came just as described. I was concerned about the size before I ordered them. Since from Randolph I always got the 58 mm (Yes, I have a big head) and they fit wonderful, Well these AO's at 57 mm width fit perfectly as well and I can tell very little, if any difference in how they look. These are the real deal. I had to laugh as I was reading reviews of some of the $10 glasses and some people were saying those $10 glasses were just like the ones I wore in Viet Nam ~ well, I beg to differ. I got some of those $10 glasses, which were nice, but shape was a little different and while they were better than most other $10 glasses, they were not exactly the same shape and were not as good looking as the AO's and Randolphs. These are dark tho, so be prepared for that. My Randolph grays are not as dark as these. I don't know if this darkness in the greens is standard with Randolphs or not. But for being outside and driving during the day, I like dark! I am glad that I tried these out, since Randolph raised their prices some time in the last few years. I had paid about $70 for the Randolph (I was also able to buy replacement lenses when I broke those for only $20) and now they are around $150. I really cannot find any differences at all. Maybe in some of the other colors, I don't know, but the AO's are awesome, as are the Randolphs, but much less expensive. IF you are familiar with Randolphs, you'll love these. IF you are new to this style, you may need to get used to the way they fit with this type of Bayonet (from glass to ear).

They aren't Serengeti quality but they did cost as much! Surely beats anything south of $60.......good buy? Yes I think so

Great sunglasses! I love the classic look, I love the feel, funny story I was washing my truck and forgot I sat them on my toolbox. Made it 10minutes up the street before I realized they were on my toolbox. Turns out they fell off when I was leaving the carwash. But were in the same condition when I picked them back up. I LOVE THESE! I RECOMMEND THEM TO EVERYONE!

Great sunglasses. The frames are solid, and along with the glass lenses, create a high quality feel. I bought these after a pair of knockoffs broke on me, and the difference is night and day.

Optical glass does not scratch. Folly polarized. A lifetime warranty that is actually honored. And, best of all, made in America.

Very nice for the price.

These arrived much quicker than promised and are even better than I hoped. Having owned similar glasses by other higher end manufacturers that would bend and break even under normal use these glasses are a revelation. They feel sturdy and solid and will be my first choice in sunglasses from now on.

Exactly as expected but they're sturdier then I would've imagined as they look and feel like 500$ sunglasses. I bought these because I was tired of my $20 pairs that constantly needed replacement... you know what I mean. These are made to withstand space expeditions and are so stylish. American Optical has a new life-long custommer. seriously what are you waiting for? grab one of these the price/quality ratio is stunning. Side note, if you have a relatively large head go for the 57mm, normal 55mm and small grab 52mm, AO has more information on their website. My only complaint is that this shape of sunglasses seems to block the sun very well exept when it is directly above you, wich is a thing to consider when buying these. Personally I should've gave these a try before as I spent around $100 (the price of these glasses) buying cheap *** Vans plastic glasses that got cooked by the uv rays and splitted appart two years later. Tell me what you think when you grab these. And while we're at it, don't even compare these to ray-bans.

Glasses arrived very quickly, they were an anniversary gift for my partner and arrived with time to spare! He really likes them, they are MUCH more sturdy than his old pair of Ray-bans. The quality is fantastic. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because, unlike most (even cheaper!) sunglasses, these came with no cleaning cloth and the case seems a little beat up... Doesn't affect the glasses, but I was a bit upset about that.

Lovely sunglasses exactly what I was looking for, fit perfect and great quality from American Optical, very happy with them

I love these, they look great, fit my face well, they're great sunglasses. I can see why American Optical is such a trusted brand.
