It offers 100% UV protection in a light, comfortable frame sold in one size (eye width 65 mm, bridge 10 mm, temple 135 mm), with a rigid designer case and cleaning cloth included. Since it comes only in one size, check that the larger shield fit with a molded, notched nose section suits your face before choosing it.[1,2] | Gold-Accent Aviator Sunglasses: Choose this if you want a classic double-bridge aviator with gold-tone metal and tortoiseshell acetate rims, brown gradient lenses offering 100% UV protection, and a light, comfortable frame with adjustable nose pads. It comes in one size only, with an eye width of 61 mm, a 16 mm bridge, and 145 mm temples, so check those measurements against your fit. A designer case and small cleaning cloth are included.[3,4] | Golden-Accent Aviator Sunglasses: Choose this if you want a classic double-bridge aviator with 100% UV protection, large gradient grey-green lenses, and a thin gold metal frame paired with black acetate temples and clear adjustable silicone nose pads. It ships with a rigid designer case and cleaning cloth, is made in Italy, and comes only in the Black colorway in one size with a 60 mm eye width, 15 mm bridge, and 100 mm temples, so the single fixed fit is worth checking before buying.[5,6,7] |
