RB3025 Classic Aviator Sunglasses

My Ray-Ban 3025 Aviator sunglasses arrived today, and I'm completely satisfied. What I received was undoubtably the REAL Ray-Ban product: packaged in a Ray-Ban box with sticker on the end including the 'Made in Italy' statement and including the Ray-Ban sunglasses case, a small 'manufacturer's information note' paper that is written in no less than 24 languages (!!!) - and I'm not joking (I counted). Plus a small marketing brochure 'The Icons' telling the story of Ray-Ban, and finally a lens cleaning cloth with the Ray-Ban logo. The sunglasses themselves have the Ray-Ban logo etched on the right lens prominently, and very subtly etched on the left lens. So, that's the package. It's as pictured here, and I start with that description because there is always going to be some trepidation at buying something like this online. Will you get The Real Deal, or a cheap knock-off? Well, I purchased mine from Amazon, not from a third-party seller, to reduce that risk, and I am not disappointed. Now to the sunglasses themselves. I think that there are a few things to know, for someone considering Ray-Ban sunglasses: - they come in a very wide variety of frame sizes, lens tints and colors, polarized and non-polarized, and with different frame colors and finishes. If you are not already familiar with these sunglasses and know what you want, then my recommendation is that you first go to the Ray-Ban website and familiarize yourself with those variations, especially if you think that you will want something other than the Traditional Gold Frame, Green Lens sunglass. Once at the Ray-Ban website, select 'customize' at the top, and you'll find yourself on a page where you have the full ability to vary the choices I've summarized below. These variations can all be found on Amazon although navigating through all of the sellers and product pages on Amazon that list the different variations of these sunglasses can be very time consuming and confusing. - For the 3025 Aviator style, the following variations are available: --- There are no less than 35 choices of lenses - 'classic', 'legends', 'gradient', 'mirrored and flash', and 'polarized' --- There are 8 variations in frame color - basic colors of gold and matte gold, and 'trendy' colors of black and 5 others --- There are 5 choices of temple tips (the end of the earpiece) - black or white as basic choices, and brown, beige or transparent also available --- There are a three different sizes available for the Ray-Ban Large Aviator RB3025. THIS IS IMPORTANT: ----------- 58 14 135: the basic standard size is 58 mm lens diameter, 14 mm bridge width, with temple length 135 mm ----------- 55 14 135: slightly smaller lens size, with same bridge width and temple length ----------- 62 14 140: larger lens size and temple length --- There are also further variations to the Aviator sunglass: ----------- Large Aviator II RB3026: only available as 62 14 140 ----------- Small Aviator RB3044: only available as 52 14 135 ----------- Folding Aviator RB3479: available in 55 14 140 and 58 14 145 ----------- Outdoorsman II RB3029 (includes 'brow bar' or 'sweat bar'): available in 62 14 140 ----------- Outdoorsman RB3030 (includes ''brow bar' or 'sweat bar' plus cable temples): available in 58 14 160 ----------- Outdoorsman II Rainbow RB3407 (with 'brow bar' in pink and possibly other color variations): available in 55 14 135 and 58 14 135 ----------- Outdoorsman II Craft RB3422Q (with 'brow bar' and temple pads in genuine hand stitched deer leather): available in 58 14 135 ----------- Shooter RB3138 (with 'brow bar' or 'sweat bar' and a small circle just below the brow bar. Also the lenses are placed closer together than other Aviator models): available in 58 09 135 - once you have figured out what you want, then the complexity is reduced and it's simply a matter of determining which seller is offering the best price. My own choice was to purchase from Amazon, not from a third-party seller, and I actually ordered two different pairs of sunglasses because I wanted to try both the polarized and non-polarized lenses, and the choices I found also had some variation in frame color that I thought would be worth checking out. I therefore purchased for myself, from Amazon, the following two pairs: - Ray-Ban Men's Aviator Large Metal Sunglasses, RB3025, 58mm, polarized lens, grey frame, 135 mm temple - Ray-Ban Men's Aviator Large Metal Non-Polarized Sunglasses, RB3025, 58mm, gold frame, 135 mm temple The quality of these sunglasses is apparent from the first moment when you remove them from the case. The frames are very high quality, and the gold frame in particular is finished to a high polish and looks absolutely fabulous. The gray frame is less distinctive but equally handsome. I haven't used them in the sunlight for long enough yet to be able to know the difference between the polarized and non-polarized lenses, but my expectation is that the polarized lenses will be my choice for the brightest days and outdoor use, particularly occasions such as on the water. Both glasses provide a good degree of sun protection without darkening my vision overmuch. And both provide the UV protection that my eye doctor told me to get. I think that some adjustment is going to be necessary, to the nose pieces as well as the temples, to get these to fit exactly right. I'll take them to one of the local optometrist shops and see if I can get them to help with that, so that they are adjusted correctly. Ray-Ban 3025 Aviator. I'm pleased with my choice.

I can't say for sure where other so-called Ray Ban sunglasses sold by Amazon are made, but I can assure you the RB3025 are genuine Ray Ban sunglasses made in Italy. Lexottica Group is the name of the company that makes genuine Ray Ban so watch for this clue in any description regarding Ray Ban products to avoid Chinese knock-offs. This world with Chinese garbage and Artificial Intelligence is getting more and more difficult to deal with. There is very little honesty left among humans. These particular glasses are of the highest quality materials available and fit perfectly right out of the box. If you need to and are capable of bending them slightly for additional adjustment, they are made strong enough to do so. Some of my previous Ray Ban sunglasses required slight adjustment, which I did without any difficulty. These glasses come in 3 width sizes. The size I chose is the "58", which is right in the middle. My face is apparently of average width for an adult male. My wife tells me I have an oval-shaped face. However, since Amazon offers free returns, it's possible to return your purchase for a larger or smaller size if you need to. The only loss to you will be time.

this was the best deal ever,i almost bought them at a retail store,boy did i dodge a bullet,i have had a pair for 15-years love the quality and fit..

I’m really happy with my glasses! The only thing I wanted to mention is that the box they arrived in was completely damaged, but thankfully the glasses themselves were perfectly fine.

Beautiful glasses, absolutely love them and they work wonders when I’m at the beach. Just wish they came with a little more items like a keychain screwdriver and a cleaning spray because there is a different bundle with these exact glasses, yet I didn’t know at the time that I was able to buy that bundle. Sunglasses 10/10, the sunglass case is decent

Greeeeeattttt, it fits as Large Metal 2.

Great product just pricey

I bought these sunglasses fully expecting to look like a mysterious action hero… and while I’m still waiting on the helicopter and dramatic soundtrack, the glasses absolutely delivered. The Ray-Ban Classic Aviators are the real deal. The moment I put them on, I felt at least 37% cooler (scientifically measured, obviously). They’re lightweight, comfortable, and somehow make even a quick grocery run feel like a scene from a movie. Sun? Blocked. Glare? Gone. My bad decisions? Still very visible, unfortunately. The lenses are crisp, the build feels solid, and they don’t pinch your nose like some cheaper pairs that seem designed by medieval torturers. Plus, they have that timeless look that works whether you’re dressed up or just trying to hide the fact that you didn’t sleep well. Fair warning: you may catch yourself checking your reflection more often. Not because you're vain just because these make you look suspiciously put-together. Overall, if you want sunglasses that combine style, comfort, and a subtle boost to your ego, these are worth it. Just don’t be surprised if you start squinting dramatically into the distance for no reason.

Absolutely spot on product, especially for the price. Im not really a famous brand type of guy, there's very few things I buy that HAVE to be a well recognizable brand, but sun glasses are one of the exceptions. Contrary to the negative reviews on here that claim these are counterfeit, I can confirm that these are the real deal. From the glasses themselves and the case, to the lenses cleaning cloth, they're 100% authentic. Anybody who is a Ray Ban connoisseur will instantly know these are legitimate. I now get to feel like Tom Cruise whilst out and about on a bright day, just a bald, fatter version in a Nissan Qashqai instead of a jet.
