Product Insights
The Trey Aviator Sunglasses by Le 31 are Simons-exclusive, Canadian-designed aviators priced at $29, offering all-day comfort with an all-plastic frame and metal hinges that avoid nose pressure. The dark-tinted lenses provide 100% UV protection (UV400), but are non-polarized plastic, reducing glare from digital screens while omitting road/water glare reduction and being scratch-prone (mitigated by the included pouch). The frame features heat-adjustable temples via warm water and a fixed nose bridge, balancing trend over durability as a private-label value choice.
- Weight
All-plastic frame with metal hinges avoids nose pressure for all-day comfort.
Why this is supported
The Trey's all-plastic frame with metal only at the hinges is described as a
Light and comfortable plastic frame
lyst.comby Lyst, and frames2fit.com notes that
If you’ve ever taken aviators off after a long drive because your nose hurt, the ATTCL is the answer.
frames2fit.comThis confirms the Trey offers lightweight comfort that rivals premium sport aviators.
- Fit
Frame temples are adjustable via warm water, with a fixed nose bridge.
Why this is supported
The plastic temples can be reshaped for a custom fit. Sunglassselector.com instructs:
Simply dip the sunglasses in warm water for up to 60 seconds.
sunglassselector.comAfter warming, the arms become pliable and can be widened or narrowed. However, the nose bridge is fixed, as described by Hewore.com:
Most sport wraparound sunglasses and molded plastic frames have a fixed bridge built directly into the frame — there are no separate pads, no pad arms, and nothing to replace.
hewore.comThis tradeoff is the main fit limitation, but the temple adjustability allows for some personalization.
- UV protection
Dark-tinted lenses safe due to 100% UV protection (UV400).
Why this is supported
The Trey Aviator's 100% UV protection label is functionally equivalent to UV400, blocking 99-100% of UVA and UVB rays up to 400 nm, as the product Q&A confirms:
100% UV protection typically means the lenses block 99-100% of UVA and UVB rays up to 400 nm, which is effectively UV400 protection.
Do these sunglasses provide UV400 protection?This full-spectrum UV blocking is especially important for dark-tinted lenses, because they cause pupils to dilate and let in more light—and without adequate UV filtering, that would increase radiation exposure. The AAO warns that
Only sunglasses with 100% UV protection provide the safety you need.
aao.orgWhile these sunglasses are not polarized, that independently verified UV protection stands unaffected; the absence of polarization does not lessen UV safety. The product's Q&A states
No, the Trey Aviator Sunglasses are not polarized.
Are the lenses polarized?- Pouch

Simply dip the sunglasses in warm water for up to 60 seconds. Afterwards, it will be pliable enough for you to widen the arms one by one using your hand.
sunglassselector.com- Polarization
Non-polarized: no glare reduction from roads/water; benefits digital screen visibility.
Why this is supported
No, the Trey Aviator Sunglasses are not polarized.
Are the lenses polarized?This confirmed non-polarization means they do not reduce reflected glare from roads, water, or snow—a notable omission for driving and outdoor use. Within the Le 31 lineup,
unlike some other Le 31 aviator styles (like the Saxton or TJ), the Trey model does not include polarized lenses.
Are the lenses polarized?At the same time, non-polarized lenses avoid the darkening effect that polarized lenses cause on LCD screens, making them a better choice for use with digital dashboards or smartphones.
- Lens material
Plastic lenses are scratch-prone; use included pouch for care.
Why this is supported
The product information does not specify the lens material. The frame is plastic (and metal in some variants), but at this price point the lenses are most likely made of plastic as well.
Are the lenses made of plastic or glass?Because plastic is softer than glass or polycarbonate, it is more susceptible to scratching. A storage pouch is included for protection;

Very nice quality
Wish the detail on the arm were gold instead of silver, but here we are. They're still really nice.
Size
I didn’t realize how big they were until I got them.
J’adore

Nice shades
Price is right. Quality is low.
I don't expect these to last more than a couple months. The plastic construction of the body and joints is exceptionally cheap.
Elegant for less
Great $ value and excellent style.
Stylish!
Super stylish and trendy! Love 'em!
I don’t like them
They aren’t transparent as picture would make you believe. Plus they came in a bubble wrap, that’s it. Not even like a cloth bag for glasses.
