Just received these Ray-Ban RB3025 112/O658 Polarized Aviator Sunglasses in Matte Gold Frame and Light Orange Lenses. I am happy to report that they are 100% authentic. Don't be scared due to the reviews saying these are fake, just make sure you order directly from Amazon as the seller. I can't speak for the other sellers but Amazon will not send you fake goods (they wouldn't still be here if they did). While I'm on the subject of amazon, make sure you check out any current discounts or promotions they may be running. I got these 20% off due to some fashion/accessories coupon code. Furthermore, I was able to get a price adjustment refund because they dropped from $120 to $105. Ray-Ban sells them for $200.This is an amazing deal. Thanks Amazon!Now for the actual product review:Since many people have written at length about RB Aviators in general, and we all know what to expect from a quality standpoint, I'll just focus on this specific configuration.The model I ordered is part of the "Polar Special Series" which is the polarized version of their "Legends" lenses. These are a lighter tint than most of their lenses and have a retro 60s vibe compared to their other lens options. If money were no object I would also order the Green and Blue versions of these Polar Special aviators. But, since money is an object I went with Orange, as I thought it would fit my style the best and provide the best overall viewing experience.The orange tint is a great color for driving as it filters blue light and increases perceived contrast of distant objects. In addition, polarization is in my view an essential feature of any driving sunglasses. Polarization filters the light reflected by many things, including the road, other cars, puddles, bright white clouds, and it even darkens the sky at the right angle In general it makes it easier to focus on the road and less on being blinded. As an added bonus, the polarization on these isn't so intense that you can't read your sat-nav when you need to.These two features make wearing these glasses refreshing for your eyes, and they are a light enough tint to wear on cloudy days while still being useful, not detrimental. You won't want to take them off.From a style perspective, these have the classic ray-ban aviator look, with a distinctive vintage feel. They tint is light enough for people to see your eyes through them, which I also like.Not much more to say about them, get them while you still can because it seems like the Polar Special Series is being phased out.

These are the 'oversized' ray ban aviators, designed for guys like myself with a larger head/face. I think the fit was just right, and they look great based on many compliments I've received on them so far. I would highly reccomend you check these out at a store before you buy them on online, mostly to ensure that the fit is right for you. Ray Ban makes these aviators (3026) which are oversized, and have a slightly softer angle to the bottom of the lens. In contrast the typical aviator you are most used to and see on TV/movies is the 3025, which has a slightly stronger angle, but is also smaller edge to edge (typically 58mm wide opposed to the 62mm on the 3026). In terms of the shape of the lens,it's so subtle that you really can't notice much of the difference, other than it's just designed to 'fit' better (they softened the drop of the lens as otherwise it would be just too large for the larger wider of the 62mm 3026). Regardless they are very similar, but the 4mm difference in width, while appearing inconsequential, is actually a large difference and therefore you should evaulate it for yourself.Overall a great quality product, the G15 lenses are excellent and really do improve my vision - I can see very clearly with these on, without any eye strain in bright outdoor light (crisp/clean optics). I wear contacts every day and these help keep my eyes relaxed while outdoors, therefore reducing the muscle fatigue my eyes are subject to over the course of the day. I definitely reccomend these if you have sensitive eyesight and/or use contact lenses and are looking for great protection from glare/brightness. the biggest thing is that they reduce the brightness while at the same time enhancing the clarity of my vision, which is great. Also note these lenses are glass and not plastic - for what it's worth, in case it wasn't obvious to you at first.Only complaint would be that they only come in two styles, with the gold plated rim or the black - This is fine but I wish they would offer the gunmetal in this frame size, which would have been my preference. You could find the gunmetal in the 3025 oversized, but only with a plastic lens (not the G-15 lens) - so I went with function over style, which is fine. (I did go with the black on black, which is a bit more subtle than the gold rimmed).

Not only is this my first real pair of Italian Ray-Ban sunglasses, but my first pair of aviator-style as well. I've been an Oakley wearer for years (mostly sporty styles), and after my last set of metal-framed Oakleys just got too scratched up, I decided I needed a new pair. I was attracted to the aviator-style, but I'm not really sure why. After a few months of thinking about it, I decided I'd go for it, and who better to choose than Ray-Ban?I got these in the narrower 55mm width because, even though I don't have a small head, my face seems narrow and I feared the "normal" 58mm might appear bigger on me than they really are. After having these for a few days, I think I made the right choice.Fit aside,I DEFINITELY made the right choice with the mirror green! I was torn between these and the blue ones, and I'm sure that if I'd gotten blue, I would have been plenty happy. But these are SLICK! I love the color (they even seem blue-ish from certain side-angles), and I haven't seen anyone else wearing anything like 'em!Every pair of Oakley sunglasses I ever had were polarized, and so, of course, as a new Ray-Ban owner I made sure I got these in the polarized version, too. However, some pictures of polarized Ray-Bans make it seem as though the lenses are more see-through from the outside than the non-polarized version. My number one must-have feature was a completely mirrored finish. After doing some research, I found that these are every bit as mirrored as you would expect. Maybe if enough sunlight shines on your face from a side-angle, your eyes might show through, but these are so reflective, it'll be tough to really see your eyes most of the time (so fellas, you're safe to scope out the chix; and ladies, you're safe to scope out the fellas, totally incognito).Anyway, as a long-time Oakley wearer, I definitely hit a home-run with my first pair of authentic Ray-Bans. w00t!

I just got my sunglasses today. I have prime shipping but it only took 1 day to arrive, so I'm impressed. I know a lot of other customer reviews were somewhat surprised (or disappointed) that their ray-ban sunglasses were made in China. I got lucky, my pair was made in Italy. Nevertheless, I know some people think their sunglasses are fake because they say 'made in China' instead of Italy, but that's not the case.Ray-Ban's are made in Italy, China, and even the U.S., so keep that in mind. I'm hoping these sunglasses last a while and don't come apart or break easily as some have claimed. I admit that I would have been slightly disappointed if they said made in China.The size (or diameter)I chose was the 55. All I know is that I got lucky, because I had no clue what diameter to get and they fit perfectly. Unless you are 100% sure of what pair of sunglasses you want, I still think it's best to go to a sunglasses store and try some on and write down the information about the pair you like. I think more often than not, Amazon is cheaper than most of those stores.OH, IMPORTANT TIP: a lot of different stores or companies sell Ray-Ban's on Amazon, but not all of them are certified sellers. The certified sellers (of which Amazon is one) include a manufacturers warranty. When I say that Amazon is a certified seller, I'm not saying the website. Look at who is selling the sunglasses. If it says sold and fulfilled by Amazon, then you will get a manufacturers warranty. I don't know what other sellers on Amazon are "certified" sellers, but maybe someone else knows.Well worth the money...that's about all I can say.

First of all, these sunglasses arrived within 24 hours of placing the order, so all credit to Pretavoir, who also packed the item very securely. I've owned (and lost) quite a few pairs of Ray Bans in my time. Currently I own a pair Aviators with glass lenses, which I've had since the mid-80s, a pair of fold-up Wayfarers and a pair of 3183s, which I found in Central Park and go some way towards making up for the pairs I've managed to lose. I think Ray Ban make the best sunglasses in the world. They always offer the best protection with minimal optical distortion and the quality hasn't gone downhill since the company was bought by Police of Italy. They should last you a lifetime,if you don't manage to lose them. Ok, so onto this pair. Firstly, the blue mirror finish is a coating. The lenses themselves are the standard green Ray Ban type, so when you wear them, the world doesn't suddenly turn turquoise, but a subtle shade of green. Originally, a mirror finish wasn't any kind of gimmick, but offered the most effective way of reducing glare, simply by reflecting it. And in that regard, I think these are the most effective sunglasses I've owned. With the plastic lenses and minimal frame, the glasses are so light, you can wear them all day. The nose pads are easily adjustable, just by bending them into shape, for a perfect fit. A recent amble down the Kings Road on a sunny afternoon proved just how popular these Ray Bans are with the young, rich and beautiful, but that doesn't take away the fact that they are brilliant at the job they're designed to do. Very highly recommended.

I love these glasses so much, I wear them at night. That's not a joke, I really can't stand fluorescent lighting; pair these with a set of earphones, and you're in your own little world!The glasses really do look as good as in the images, and the lenses can appear to be a completely different colour at different times of day and in different lighting.The polarisation is excellent. The glasses are excellent at reducing glare; they remove that starburst effect that can sometimes occur when car headlights or street lamps are in one's field of view.I have yet to find any problems with LCD displays due to the polarisation during normal usage, aside from using my phone (HTC One M9) in landscape mode.With most displays, if you tilt your head a full 90 degrees, the display turns black. Your glasses will inevitably be passed around the office, as you watch co workers craning their necks at phones, monitors and TVs. They're also pretty psychedelic underneath certain motorcycle helmet visors!I highly recommend these glasses to anyone, and trust me, you won't break them. My first pair of Ray Bans were my first pair of sunglasses that went unbroken for more than a single summer; those originals are still going strong after three years. Ray Bans are high quality, and expensive enough that you'll be sure to take care of them.I'd also recommend purchasing directly from Amazon. With so many counterfeits around, you can't be sure what you're getting.

Love these!! Very fun and trendy. Also if you've never had metal rimmed raybans (having only had plastic myself) I was pleasantly surprised how strong and how if you bend them, they go back to their factory shape (the part behind your ears reverts back, the nose pieces can be adjusted for comfort and fit).Some things to note, these made me take away a star, but don't seriously bother me:even though they say mirrored you can still barely see your eyes when people look at you. No covert people watching with these.the green tint and polarized mixed cause there to be some reflection on the inside of the lenses. So.. say if you're driving and the sun is behind you, you get a green reflection coming back at you,somewhat bothersome, but not enough for me to regret the purchase, and isn't intense.they get ridiculously dirty, like always, its crazy! the slightest touch of your finger adjusting them will leave very noticeable oil marks on the lenses. They come with a nice case and cleansing cloth but expect to be cleaning them EVERY TIME you put them on. It's annoying to look and constantly see you almost $200 sunglasses look like a sticky finger child has been holding them all day, when really you accidently swiped the lense when putting it in the case. I don't think this is a problem that can be avoided if your wanting to go with this green lense trend, so I just go with it, and keep some glasses cleaner in the case with them

I've now owned three pairs of Ray-Ban aviators and I will keep coming back to this style because of the look and quality. All of my pairs have been the 55mm gold frame with polarization. My first pair I owned for 4 years and they got a little scuffed and chipped (because I dropped them) by the time I replaced them. My second pair I owned for 3.5 years before they were stolen. Those were still totally fine with minor scuffing on the lenses and the hinges were getting loose. With my third pair, I'm planning on taking much better care of them than I did with the first two.As far as frame size, I'm 5'8" with a smallish but normal-width face and the 55mm frame fits my face just fine.My 5'3" wife has put them on and the 55mm fits her, too.Some people are concerned that they aren't getting real Ray-Bans when they buy online. I bought my first two pairs of aviators from stores and my third pair is the first I've bought online. The third pair is exactly the same as the first two in sturdiness and build quality and the polarization is working, so I'm certain they aren't knockoffs. When buying Ray-Bans online, I would just be sure the seller is Amazon.com itself or a reputable sunglass company. A company whose orders are fulfilled by Amazon is probably OK, too.

I was hesitant to purchase these after seeing the reviews that questioned the authenticity of these sunglasses and I wanted to clarify to those who are in the same situation as I was. Just do your research before purchasing. I made sure when I went to buy this product that in the top right corner, after I selected the color and lens mm options, that the site said it was "shipped and sold by amazon." I say this because as you filter through each color and mm option, who it ships and is sold by changes. I can imagine some people got the initial description "shipped and sold by amazon" when searching for these aviators, although after selecting the exact options they wanted, the company that sold them changed.Needless to say, I made sure mine were "shipped and sold by amazon" and I couldn't be happier! I double checked the sunglasses once they arrived and they are indeed authentic. If anyone is curious as to which aviators I purchased, they were they 58mm Arista gold/polarized crystal green glasses because that was the exact name of them that I had seen on the Ray Ban website.Good Luck and Happy Shopping!

Great Quality.. but a little too small for me (So returned)if you are trying to justify the cost to yourself, these polarised Aviators do feel reassuringly expensive; weighty but not too heavy to wear for long periods, well made and great colour combination in gold with green lenses.Sadly for me, the 55mm lenses are just a little bit too small for my face. Aviators come in 55mm, 58mm and 62mm and whilst various sites and you tube videos say the 55s are for men and women, I think you'd have to have a VERY small head/face for these to not look like you've borrowed these from a girlfriend/wife. There were some angles I thought I may have got away with it but I felt quite self conscious wearing them,like I knew they were too small for me.They looked great on my wife who is 5"1' and has quite a small face. They also looked very good on my 14 year old son. If you are more petite in stature or head size I would say this size if definitely for you. Otherwise, I would stick to the standard 58mm size.

These are not large sunglasses, at least not as large as the other genuine Ray-Ban models that I own. This surprised me, as I spent a lot of time to find the largest advertised dimension that I could find. Sizing guidelines could be better.I bought these to save a no longer obtainable pair with a gold mirror finish and ear loops (they can't fall off if I look down etc.) from wear and tear, and to replace a similar pair that got crushed and scratched. They're good lenses and do a good job. They're just not big enough to protect my peripheral vision, or to be positive they're small enough that I can look around the lenses to get an unfiltered view if I want to. Everything else is what I'd expect from Ray-Ban aviators.I do wish that I could find some with the ear loops though. ...And a gold mirror finish...

I was skeptical with all of the bad reviews I read for this product. But because of the price, I decided to give it a shot....and I'm glad I did! They are authentic RB. I was unsure about the 58mm lenses, since the one I already have are 55mm and I couldn't find ones that were delivered directly through amazon to avoid not having an authentic one,so I decided to get the 58mm. I compared it to the 55mm and the lenses are a little bigger, but they fit perfectly. They don't look too big at all!!! The size is perfect! I'm very pleased with the product. Because Amazon has the authorization from Ray Ban to sell their products, my recommendation is to buy it direct from amazon, instead of a third party.This way you can reclaim if you received non authentic ones.

Gunmetal Crystal Green Polarized...58mm.....I was very suspicious regarding both the authenticity & price of these 'Ray-Bans' sunglasses, I checked reviews mainly on 'Youtube' before purchasing them. Ordered by 'Standard Delivery' and to my surprise they were delivered the following day. 03/ 03/ 16...very impressed!To my utter relief I was grateful I took the plunge as these are indeed genuine! They are fantastic, superb for the greatly reduced price....dont hesitate in purchasing these sunglasses!Hopefully I can post the 'Youtube' link in helping you decide on purchasing these products without any fear of buying fakes.Check this out on 'Youtube'.....'How to Spot Fake Rayban Aviator Sunglasses (highest grade fake RB 3025)'[...]

You can't go wrong with the classic look of the Aviators. On the Ray-Ban website, RB3025 004/77 is mentioned as lens color, Crystal Polar Blue Gradient Gray but the photo is the same as here and when highlighted, does say Gradient Pink. It does have a pinkish tint but not as pronounced as one would think. I purchased them through Amazon Warehouse Deals and the price was too good to pass up. The lens size, I believe, is 58mm. These are my first pair of polarized sunglasses and I was not aware of the issues with certain LCD screens. I couldn't see the text on the PIN screen at the bank and had to take the glasses off to use the viewfinder on my digital camera. Other than that,they look good and they block out all that extra sunlight.

The product itself is an excellent.but the colour imagery of the lenses is not wholly/truly reflected on the website.the colour which is being displayed in this review is somewhat different than the actual sunglasses.this colour only reflected from a certain angel.so there is a vast gap in your client perception of the colour what he purchased and what in reality he got .the colour which is being shown is not predominant,on the basis which it was bought.these shiny glasses colour reflection needs to be articulated on your website in a more client friendly manner as to ensure that your client get the exact colour or he should be informed that the sunglasses colour will reflect differently fromdifferent Angels .
