The Genuine Military Aviator Sunglasses

These are the Randolph sunglasses issued by the U.S. Department of Defense to military pilots and crew for the past 23 years, and are noted for their scratch-resistant, neutral-gray glass lenses that absorb 98% to 100% of UVA and UVB rays, and allow sharper detail and evenness of color. The ophthalmic crown glass in the lenses has survived being hit with a steel ball dropped from a height of four feet, meeting both FDA and ANSI standards for shatter resistance. The hand-polished frames are of nickel silver components plated in 24K gold, with solder joints so strong they're separately warranted by the manufacturer. Designed specifically to fit under a flight helmet or headset (the acronym above means "Helmet Goggle Use for Pilots"), the dashing design, with a stabilizing bridge across the top, was first developed in the late 1970s. S (52 mm), M (55 mm), or L (58 mm) frame size. 5 3/4" W x 2" H. (1 oz.)
