Pilot sunglasses cut glare and protect from extreme exposure to solar radiation, but they’ve also become a fashion statement. Randolph Engineering‘s Aviator line provides both protection and style that pilots rave about.

The frames come in several sizes, and the bayonet temples are designed to fit under headgear. They can break the seal of a noise-canceling headset, but they rest nicely above the ear cup.
