American Optical Pilot Sunglasses

The Original Pilot sunglasses from American Optical exude decades of history, proven performance, and pure coolness. The aviator-style frame has its origin in the ‘50s, where it was modeled after the FG-58 goggles worn by American pilots across the military. And while the design itself is iconic, the shades featured are built just like originals, made from silver-tone metal with coated bayonet temples that’ll fit perfectly and last you years. This pair comes with Calobar Green Nylon lenses that sport chromatically tuned “True-Tone” tech that delivers just the right green tint. There’s also a host of certifications including 100% UVA/UVB protection, ANSI Z80.3 impact resistance, a scratch-resistant hard coating, oleophobic smudge-resistant surfacing, and an anti-reflective backside, just to name a few. So, once you’ve got your hands on a pair of these iconic American-made shades, you’ll just have to ask yourself one thing. Do you have the need… The need for speed?
