Product Insights
The Carrera Gradient-Lens Aviator Sunglasses feature a square navigator silhouette with a 57mm lens and 19mm bridge, adjustable metal nose pads, and a lightweight metal frame with acetate temple tips for stable all-day wear. Their non-polarized gradient lenses prevent LCD screen blackout, enabling reading of dashboards, phones, and maps while driving, and allow seamless indoor-outdoor transitions without removing glasses. The oversize look comes from the squared silhouette and wide bridge, not the lens size. The main tradeoff is the square shape deviating from the classic teardrop aviator, which adds structure for round faces but fits narrower-to-medium faces better. Every part of the gradient lenses blocks 100% UVA and UVB up to 400 nm.
