Ray-BanRb3025 Classic Polarized 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 templeThe 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.

Was nervous ordering Ray-Ban‘s from Amazon as I always get them from the Ray-Ban site, but I was very pleased! Wore my first pair for 10 years and it was time for a replacement. They fit great, are polarized and the perfect classic Ray Ban blue and are tough for all the order activities I wear them for.

Original bona fide glasses from Rayburn really niceLove these thingsI made sure they weren’t counterfeit because I had read lots of reviews, but these are legitThe seller is doing the right thing and it’s a nice product and a little bit cheaper priceI Recommend buying from these people

These Ray-Ban Aviators are everything you’d expect. Stylish, comfortable, and built to last. The polarized lenses make a big difference in bright light, reducing glare without dimming the view. A classic that’s worth every penny.

I love the style aviator shape. How it looks comes with cleaning parts and a nice leather cover super durable and nice fit as always.

Pretty cool overall- get dirty super quick and not the easiest to keep clean with the all black frames etc, but I like them.

Never mind how hot Tom Cruise looks in these in Top Gun! I bought these because they are sturdy, reliable, fierce, and sexy! These glasses make a fashion statement and give you an air of authority at one time. I'm able to better handle the sun when I'm outside because the lenses are quality lenses. There's an old saying that you get what you paid for, and this certainly applies to these Ray Bans. The frame is light, but sturdy. The lenses themselves are well situated in the frame you can draw these sunglasses up close to your face or put them a bit further down your nose bridge, and the fierce and sexy look remains the same, and they stay in place. I will say that I bought the Costa Del Mar unisex-adult C-line Retainer leash to ensure that they stay on my person during the day, and I got the BLUPOND Sunglasses Case Semi Hard EVA Shell with Metal Hanging Hook Belt Clip Sun Glasses Storage because I didn't like the RB carrying case. It's pretty and well made, but I felt not sturdy enough to protect my sunglasses. I feel the BluPond Case is sturdier, and will protect my investment better ----- because for me these glasses are an investment in protecting the future of my vision by keeping those UV rays in check. That's just my opinion based on my research about sunglasses and UV rays. Anyway, if you're on the fence about spending this kind of money on sunglasses, I say go for it!

Good fit , low to no glare , seems well made
