I've been looking for a pair of sunglasses for riding.
What do you think about the ray ban aviators?

>surprisingly cheaper than other aviators
>polarized lenses
>flash mirror coat
>graduated
>shatter resistant

I'm getting them from a website that offers custom made lesnses because I need them for long trips, but I want a nice frame so I can use them daily.

I think I have an oval face so i suppose they would look fine?

>le manly man tom cruise sunglasses

>>flash mirror coat

Well I need a thin frame to fit it in the helmet padding,
and the mirror coat blocks more sunlight.

It's not actually 100% mirror coat, it looks like this (from their website)
>>
>>11178505
not what they once were, arms are pot metal and the lenses are small as shit now

you're better off getting one of the milspec ones

My ex gave me mirrored ray ban aviators in like 2008. I will actually pay you to take them off of my hands.

>lenses are small as shit now
Isn't that better?
I don't think I would look good with the bigger lenses, they do make a small and large version.

>>11178523
Are they shatter resistant and shit?
that's my main concern.
>>
>>11178524
shatter resist just means poly carb the lowest abbe value of all glasses

higher end sunglasses will use trivex and shit like that

Yeah these lenses have an option for trivex and even SR-91.

I wanted to try the polarized SR-91 grey (12% light transmission)

You might want to look up the differences between UVA, UVB and UVC radiation.

>>11179379
You're right, I misread the description.
Went for a the standard anti reflex coating instead, it's 70$ less

i have a pair, dark grey frame, green lenses. just get the cheapest ones, they all protect your eyes equally well. if you dont care about the logo go order fakes from aliexpress
