  • "Daaaaang son those are nice."
Solid quality, great lenses, classic styling. These are a noticeable amount lighter than the Skymaster glass lenses, but ever bit as awesome. Maybe it's just because I never wear glasses, but I walked into a meeting wearing these and I suddenly knew what it was like to be the "cool kid" walking into the gym at a pep rally. I think it's the polarization that does it, but you get to see a pretty hint of rainbow glean across glossy surfaces sometimes. Mostly in the peripheral, but it's neat. Not really distracting. My kid keeps asking if she can have/"borrow" these and I'm like "guuuurl these cost as much as your gaming console." Maybe when she graduates High School or passes her drivers test. Something about these just screams special occasion despite being a simple classic solid look. The case and microfiber cloth could use a little work, but mostly just opinion there. I prefer a rock solid case, and these come in a semi-firm leather case with a flap. It holds up, but I don't think it could take a legit impact. The microfiber (which looks just like the image schematic of the glasses) seems to shed fuzz on the lenses. Not hard to find another cloth, and it looks really cool. If you can justify the price, because they ain't cheap, I absolutely recommend these. Trying to figure out if I can con my wife into letting me buy some of the other color/combos. ... show more

  • AO is a Quality American Made Pair of Shades
Lens Color: True Color Gray AOLite Nylon Lenses Polarization Type: Polarized Size: 57 Millimeters
Living in the Sunshine State, it is safe to assume I am a collector of sunglasses. It is impossible to drive safely without them and quite uncomfortable to be outside anywhere during the day without sunglasses. Because of that I have tried the full spectrum of types and price ranges and have always found myself discovering that a good quality pair of sunglasses will run you anywhere from 150 (if on sale) to 400 depending on Brand and features. Having said that, these sunglasses are within that proper range. Most sunglasses are made by Luxottica, an italian company. Not that I dislike them but they seem to make EVERYONE's glasses, even dollar store glasses. Not these. These are made in America. Bonus score! They come packaged nicely and protected from scratches. You receive an authentic leather soft case to store them in. (Smells wonderful) and a nice size lens cloth, not the tiny ones most places give you. They are comfortable. The nose guard and ear guards are well made and do not snag or poke. These are the black NON-Mirrored Lenses that are polarized. While I am not a fan of poliarized lenses (it makes seeing screens and such difficult) some people prefer them and they offer more UV protection than NON polarized. Well, the lenses are clear viewing and block sun perfectly. I 100% recommend these sunglasses and all other American Optical brand shades for a great quality product!! ... show more

  • Nice High Quality Glasses
Lens Color: True Color Gray AOLite Nylon Lenses Polarization Type: Polarized Size: 57 Millimeters
I have a big head so got the largest lens size. They fit perfectly and I think they look great! They come with a nice leather case and cleaning cloth as well. The case is semi rigid which will be great for traveling as I have more than once had sunglasses damaged when in luggage on flights. I have handfuls of cheap glasses that rarely last but wanted a very nice quality pair for once. If you appreciated the review, press the helpful button below. thank you! ... show more

  • Great Quality, Worth the Money
Lens Color: True Color Gray AOLite Nylon Lenses Polarization Type: Polarized Size: 52 Millimeters
These are some of the nicest sunglasses I've owned. With previous glasses, the lenses are so dark I almost feel like I can't react to my environment appropriately (could just be a personal problem). With the AO Original, the lenses take the sting out of bright sunlight without altering the way you see your surroundings. It almost feels like your not wearing them. They fit really well too. I have a small face and the 52mm fit perfectly. No sliding at all. Lastly, they come in a nice leather case that smells amazing and lends itself to the quality of the glasses and the company. Very happy with the sunglasses! ... show more

  • Very attractive
Lens Color: True Color Gray AOLite Nylon Lenses Polarization Type: Polarized Size: 57 Millimeters
I was not previously familiar with this brand, AO (American Optical), but looked like a really cool brand and has some neat history, and I liked the style of the glasses so was curious to check them out. They come packaged in a really cool looking box, the branding/packaging all looks vintage/retro, like something from the 1960's. Really dig the style. The case is very sturdy and well made. The sunglasses have that vintage aviator style. Very classic, timeless. They look fantastic!!! ... show more

  • Very nice aviator glasses
I've worn these many times when I'm outside biking, with friends, or just out and about. Fits comfortably and you can take them off quickly because of the bayonet temple. The polarization on these glasses is top-notch. The case is a nice leather case with a magnetic closing. One of my favorite thing about these glasses is that they are made in the USA since most "premium" sunglasses are manufactured by a company called Luxottica. They are an Italian company that owns a monopoly on eyewear. Very fascinating history behind the AO brand as well. ... show more

Lens Color: True Color Gray SkyMaster Glass Lenses Polarization Type: Polarized Size: 52 Millimeters
I remember when you could get these for$13 at the px. Nice glasses, but definitely not worth $295.

  • Very Nice
Very nice sunglasses in the classic aviator style. Size fits 12 year old perfectly, and he really likes the all black look, as well as the 'bayonet' style earpieces. Comes with a very nice leather case and lens cleaning cloth. Lenses are dark and polarized.
