Product Questions and Answers

Q1: What kind of sunglasses are pilot sunglasses?

Pilot frames are a timeless style originally developed back in the 1930s for aviators. They have big, tear-drop-shaped lenses that give great protection and cover from glare and feature a thin metal rim and double or triple bridge. They are still widely worn now simply because they offer great protection from the sun and a timeless versatile fashion.

Q2: Who are pilot sunglasses suitable for?

Pilot sunglasses are very versatile and can fit almost any face shape due to the perfectly balanced and adjustable nose pads. They are very complementing on those with oval, round, or square faces since the angular tear-drop shape makes a statement and draws attention. They can work for both men and women and are very highly recommended for anyone seeking both style and performance.

Q3: Why are pilot sunglasses so popular?

Pilot sunglasses remain popular forever due to their timeless design, aviation and military legacy connection, and versatility. They've been sported by celebrities, pilots, and fashion icons over the years and are now synonymous with cool, timeless fashion. Practical features of their design—the ability to cover widely and inhibit glare—are yet other reasons they remain so popular.

Q4: How do I select the perfect pair of pilot sunglasses?

Keep in mind lens color (gray or green when true color is desired, mirror when added glare protection is desired), frame material (lightweight metals such as stainless steel or titanium), and lens technology (polarized when added clarity is desired). Opt for comfortable fit with adjustable nose pads and temples that don't sit too tightly.

Q5: Can pilot sunglasses be worn when dressed casually?

Yes. Pilot sunglasses are both fashionable and functional and are therefore perfect casual wear. They offer great protection against the UV rays, decrease eye strain when it is very bright, and blend perfectly with casual outfits or work outfits or casual outdoors outfits. They are timeless and hence never go out of style.
