The large lenses are not flat but slightly convex. The original Bausch & Lomb design is now commercially marketed as Ray-Ban Aviators, although other manufacturers also produce aviator-style sunglasses.Īviator style sunglasses are intended to be worn under headgear and are characterised by dark, oftentimes reflective lenses and thin monel, steel or titanium metal frames with double or triple bridge and bayonet earpieces or flexible cable temples that hook more securely behind the ears. These are now my go-to for running, skiing and riding.Joe Biden during his vice presidency in Baghdad in 2016, sporting a pair of aviatorsĪviator sunglasses are a style of sunglasses that were developed by a group of American firms. The comfort, air-flow and anti-fogging of these glasses is also off the charts. When RP Outlet had its Labor Day sale last year (lowest prices of year - hint hint), I got a pair of the Photochromic Clear to Purple lenses, and they are absolutely perfect at the end of the day skiing - not too dark after the sun goes down.
Both were really good, but still stayed a little too dark in the winter afternoons after the sun went down.Įnter Propulse! I got a pair that came with clear to black photochromic lenses. Moved onto Rydons, and got into the ImpactX photochromic lenses, first clear to black, then clear to red.
I started wearing RP Kerosenes with Racing Red lenses, but RP stopped making them and didn't have support/spare lenses. If you're with me so far, you probably understand what I mean. The problem for me is changing light conditions, especially in the late afternoon as the sun goes down trying to see moguls to pick your line when depth perception is at its worst. So no to goggles, but you gotta have eye protection. I am also a marathon runner, and will occasionally cycle 20-50 miles. If you know what I mean, you know what I mean - you will sweat profusely working it. I've never been someone who could wear goggles when skiing I sweat too much because I use skiing as a full body workout doing double-black-diamond straight down the fall-line stuff.
