Product Insights
Le 31's Trace Translucent Aviator Sunglasses offer in-house Montreal design rooted in 1840 Canadian retail heritage, delivering UV400 protection and polarized lenses that reduce road glare—a core promise for daytime driving—at a value price ($19.99) competitive with $50–$80 alternatives. The nickel-free, flexible frame ensures comfort and allergy safety, but the polarized lens tradeoff is that it may dim car HUDs and LCD displays.

Love the style!
Love the style and how light they were but they only lasted a week. The arm broke came off and could not be repaired. I was careful with them because they were so light. So disappointed.
Cute not very sturdy
They are good looking, but do not seem very sturdy
