Product Insights
Carrera's Gold-Accent Aviator Sunglasses draw on 1956 motorsports heritage and Tour de France partnership, with a double-bridge and gold accents rooted in 1980s racing styles. The polyamide frame returns to shape after bending for durability, while the 61mm lens with adjustable acetate temple tips fits medium to broad faces securely. At a sale price of CAD $129.95, they undercut the Ray-Ban Aviator Classic by roughly $70–120, but offer non-polarized lenses with 100% UV protection only, and are currently out of stock.
