The company behind these sunglasses has been providing eye protection for pilots since the dawn of aviation, with a strong history of outfitting American troops in World Wars I and II with both glasses and a plethora of other gear. Many years later, the company continues to provide top-notch eye protection for pilots around the country.
The Original Pilot glasses are non-polarized and made specifically for airmen. They deliver 100% protection against UVA, along with 98% protection against UVB. Featuring a brow bar and a bayonet temple, the Original Pilot glasses come in three different sizesâ52, 55 and 57âensuring a custom fit for each wearer. The glasses fit naturally under a headset without breaking the seal.
The glasses are available in gray or brown lenses, with the option for either a silver or gold frame. Each pair sells for $149.
