Ray-Ban RB3025 Classic Polarized 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.

These classic Aviator glasses from Ray Ban seem genuine. Everything I expect from Ray Ban was in the package/case. The case looks legit and the glasses are flawless. Lost another pair - so this is replacement. Very happy with the glasses (but amazing how much prices have gone up!).

These glasses are well made, very comfortable, and look great! I am very happy with my purchase. A+++

My new favorite glasses. This is my first pair of RayBans. I am very pleased.

I was very concerned about all the counterfit Ray Bans on amazon. I did alot of research on what to look for to spot the fakes. Even people who have said "if the glass is etched on the left lense they are authentic". Well the counterfitters will go to extreme lengths to make them look as real as possable. Nearly every detail is copied. So, after looking at different sellers, watching videos of real and fake glasses I searched for SunglassHut on Amazon. They are the brick and morter authorized sellers. I saved my order to my shopping cart from the Sunglasshut page on Amazon and they were $199.95. When I checked out I noticed it said "sold by and fullfilled by Amazon for $118. This made me a little worried. I wanted to pay the extra money to be sure they were authentic.Why the seller changed I have no idea. Now my review. I am still not 100 percent they are authentic but about 90 percent sure. All the research I have done and the fakes I have seen have all the same markings on the glasses and the case. The only thing the real ones have that the fake ones do not are that the ends of the plastic ear pieces curve a little bit. all the pictures and videos I have seen show the fakes with straight ear pieces at the very ends. The lenses are indeed polarized as you can tell from looking at different peoples rear windows of their cars in the sun. The glass has an invisable checkerboard pattern with the glasses on and it goes away with them off. The blue mirroring is nice and you cant see your eyes from other peoples perspective unless sunlight is coming in from the sides. The fit is good and I will go to my local Sunglasshut store to have them adjusted. Overall 4 stars because of placing in my cart from the sunglasshut page and then it being changed to sold and fullfilled through Amazon, and the fact I still have that 10% doubt they could be fakes.

Absolutely beautiful! Everything I expected from a good pair of sunglasses and more. Pricey but definitely worth it!

I found these sunglasses for my son on Cyber Monday. He wanted them for his birthday. He absolutely loves them. I love that I found them for such a good price. I sometimes get nervous buying RayBan on any other site other than rayban.com but these are the real deal.

Excellent sunglasses. They run small, but the vision thru them is great. I would recommend these!

Un clásico, ajusta bien!!

Recibí justo lo que pedí. Los lentes son de cristal y están polarizados. Lucen muy bien y el precio me hizo comprarlos sin dudar.. 100% recomendables

El polarizado es OK, para sol no tanto, muy claros

النظارة ممتازة جداً جداً وكولتي عالي لكن بالنسبه لي انخدعت في لون العدسات زرقاء وكأنها مرايه عاكسه يجب التأكد من الالوان بشكل دقيق الوصف المكتوب مخادع والصوره المرفقه في العرض سيئه ماتوضح اللون الحقيقي

Clean and distinctively cool
