Product Insights
The Tj Aviator Sunglasses by Le 31, a Simons house brand designed in Canada, offer a lightweight metal and plastic hybrid frame at $29—undercutting comparable polarized aviators from Tifosi and Knockaround by 17–55%. Their teardrop shape flatters oval, heart, square, and rectangular faces, and they provide 100% UV protection (UVA/UVB, UV400). While less robust than all-metal frames, the hybrid construction delivers a warmer, less slippery grip for everyday wear, making them a cost-effective alternative with minimalist, logo-free styling and polarized lenses.

Deep Research
Frame measurements and face fit
- Because the TJ adopts the traditional teardrop aviator shape, it naturally balances oval and heart-shaped faces while adding a softening curve to square jawlines — a shape legacy that reduces the risk of an unflattering fit compared to more fashion-forward angular frames.
How TJ compares to other Le 31 aviator models
- The TJ Aviator is the only model in the collection that explicitly pairs a metal and plastic frame with polarized lenses, combining glare-free vision and the balanced durability of a hybrid construction at the same $29 entry price as every other Le 31 aviator.
Value compared to other budget polarized aviators
- The TJ's 100% UV protection matches the standard set by competitors like the Tifosi Shwae, ensuring long-term eye safety without any price premium — a non-negotiable spec that some sub-$20 aviators omit.
- At $29 CAD, the TJ significantly undercuts the Tifosi Shwae at US$35 and the Knockaround Mile Highs at US$45–55, making it one of the most affordable polarized aviators on the market while still providing polarized glare reduction.
- Le 31 is an internal label exclusively produced for Canadian retailer Simons, so the TJ carries a curated, brand-free aesthetic that distances it from the generic, logo-heavy designs of mass-market aviators on Amazon.
- The frame is described as 'light, comfortable metal and plastic,' a hybrid approach that prioritizes everyday wearability and cost efficiency — distinct from the full stainless-steel build of the Tifosi Shwae or the aerospace-grade aluminum-magnesium of the ATTCL Driving Polarized AL-MG.
- The TJ includes polarized lenses — a feature absent on many non-polarized aviators under $30 — placing it alongside the LUENX Polarized Aviator (US$25–32) as one of the few options that deliver glare reduction and improved color perception at the absolute bottom of the price spectrum.
