What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I picked up the Ski Aviators Polarized Sunglasses for a week in the mountains and wore them every single day on and off the hill. The mirror lens handles bright snow conditions better than anything else I've tried at this price, and the acetate frame draws more compliments than any piece of gear I own."There was an era when the mountain had its own aesthetic, when the greatest skiers in the world came down the hill in mirrored aviators and made it look effortless. That look defined a generation and then vanished, and the Vallon Ski Aviators Polarized Sunglasses exist to bring it back with none of the compromises and all of the character. The handcrafted premium acetate frame is lightweight, hypoallergenic, and built with five-barrel sports hinges that hold a precise, secure fit through full days of movement on the hill. The V52 mirrored lens is where the Ski Aviators earn their keep beyond the style points. Built from nylon polyamide with an ABBE clarity rating of 52, it delivers the highest optical performance in its class at 20% lighter than comparable lenses. Cat. 3 protection with a grey mirror coating handles the intense reflected light of open snowfields, and the polarized option cuts glare completely for the clearest possible view of the mountain ahead. Every pair also contributes to one kilogram of plastic cleanup, which is the kind of detail that makes pulling them on feel even better.
