Product Insights
The Dream Boat Aviator Sunglasses by Le Specs are lightweight acetate aviators with polycarbonate lenses that offer even weight distribution, scratch resistance, and Level 2 UV protection, but their fixed 15mm bridge requires a slim nose fit and buyers report frames cracking and hinges rusting within a year, with Le Specs refusing to replace broken hinges, making durability and customer service the main tradeoff against style and comfort.
Verified claims
- Face shape
- Oversized silhouette flatters oval, square, and rectangular face shapes.
- Fit
- Fixed 15mm bridge requires a slim nose bridge for a comfortable fit.
- Durability
- Buyers report frames cracking and hinges rusting within a year, though acetate frames flex on impact.
- Customer service
- Le Specs refused to replace a broken hinge shortly after purchase.
- Color retention
- Color runs through the entire frame, so scratches don't expose a different underlying color.
- Materials
- Acetate frame with polycarbonate lenses is lighter than metal aviators, but buyers report hinge and frame failures within a year.
- Comfort
- Acetate frame distributes weight evenly and is lighter than metal aviators.
- Scratch/shatter resistance
- Polycarbonate lenses with a 0.5–3 micron hard coat resist abrasion and shatter on impact.
- UV protection
- Level 2 UV rating blocks at least 95% of UVA and 99% of UVB rays.
- Style
- Level 2 tint keeps eyes visible and is designed for city style rather than bright sun.
