Product Insights
The Meller Shipo Aviator Sunglasses combine a nature-engineering design with lightweight bio-acetate frames sourced from renewable plants and tree-fiber packaging, while German TAC polarized lenses with UV400, superhydrophobic coating, and Category 3 tint offer glare reduction, full UV protection, and water resistance. Their oversized 141 mm frame enhances peripheral coverage for eye strain reduction, and users report a comfortable yet durable feel, though Meller does not specify yellowing resistance for the bio-acetate material. At 98 CAD, they undercut Ray-Ban's cheapest by about a third and carry a lifetime warranty backed by Lenskart since the 2025 acquisition.
