Let me start by saying these aviators are STUNNING. The rose gold frame with dark blue lenses gives off major vintage vibes while providing solid UV400 protection. I wore them on a beach vacation, and they handled glare like champs - no squinting even at noon!
The fit is where these really shine. Unlike cheaper aviators that slide down your nose, these hug my face perfectly thanks to their lightweight metal frame. They're so comfy I've accidentally worn them indoors multiple times (oops).
BUT... here's the tea. After just 3 months of careful use, I noticed scratches on the lenses from the arms rubbing when folded. The coating started peeling near the hinges too. My heart broke when one lens popped out after a minor drop - these babies are more fragile than they look.
The included case? Basically a glorified sock. My original pair came with a nice magnetic case, but now we get this flimsy drawstring pouch that offers zero protection. For $50 sunglasses, this feels cheap.
Final verdict? If you want affordable, stylish sunnies for occasional use, these deliver. But if you need durable everyday shades, keep looking. I'll probably repurchase because nothing else fits my face this well... but I'm not happy about it.
