Imo, Cartier by far is the winner here. They're different, very eye catching, but still manage to retain this classic aviator vibe. I'd love to have a pair of those. Although, in my personal taste, I always lean towards quality acetate frames.
Randolph is brilliant especially the concorde. American optical is great too. On the cheaper end, gunnar maverick is decent . Sefengeti carrara is another quality product. I was searching for a review on carrera 2031t or CA 187 and ended up here. Guess nobody has done a video review on them.
I love my Barton aviators they are light but have enough weight to enjoy them. No surprises that you had the Cartier in the selection
Yours are beautiful, Mel. All Barton's are. I could have easily substituted yours for the Avtak I featured...

Informative video as usual. I purchased a pair of Randolph Engineering aviators 23K white gold with cobalt tint lenses. A slight heavy feel to them, but I get a sense of security from them. Thought this brand might make the list. What's your opinion of Maui Jim glass lenses in Hawaii Lava? Their Maui Brilliant lenses I have been told are not quite the color enhancers.
PS: My eye doctor ask if I ever had my eyes checked? No I said; they've always been a solid blue.
RE are excellent frames, and yeah they probably should have made the list
What do you think about Randolph engeneering,,,,they made some really great sunglasses, best design and world's best lenses
Randolph are fantastic. I would definitely recommend them. Hard to get here in the UK though
Great video. By the way, what brand and model were you wearing at the start of the video? Thank you
That's my Eco Slate with Sweet Violet tint - we've replicated this for many clients so if you're interested, email us via hello@thespectaclefactory.com
What mini aviators do you recommend? Just lost my RB8313’s and need a replacement quick
After further review give me an opinion of Maui green. I think they may be more appealing a more rose color contract/view). It is so confusing. Thin glass vs Maui Brilliant. Thanks for your patience and guidance.
By Maui Green you mean the mirrored green lens? I think it's quite nice, good contrast as you mentioned. Quite dark too which isn't always good.
Glass is always best if you can get it. But I doubt most can tell the difference with Maui Brilliant, it's a great quality lens material
Base curve 8 all the way. Standard base curve 6 aviators just let in too much light from the sides. If you go that route better make sure the backside AR coating is top notch
Cheers
True - 8 base offers more protection but also looks very sporty.
This is a brilliant you tube channel.
Thank you so much!
Would be better if you can mention the product links in the description.
Great information i wish if you can review some raybans bausch & lomb vs the rayban trash lauxutica
Yes! I'd like to. If you have a pair, send them in to me
Had to sub. Great content, has helped a lot, strange there weren't any Randolph's.
Thanks for the sub!
How heavy are the walter and Herberts? I agree, they are the best on the table stylistically and im looking to pick them up. Hoping they're on the lighter side because I need a comfortable aviator. Not one that's going to weigh me down
I would say medium. Not the lightest, but certainly not overly heavy. They feel substantial.
I'd like a pair of Maui Jim's, but I begrudge paying almost twice the retail price just to get my Rx added.
I get that. I touched upon that in my review. Especially when at the price point you can get Zeiss Adaptive Sun, which I would prefer, personally.
Handsome man 😍 - thanks for the info, I found this video to be very informative and helpful
Thank you 😁
Honorary mention to Randolph aviators, they're cracking
Yeah they are! I'd love to stock them someday but don't think they distribute in the UK. A trip to America is clearly needed 😉
Why would you want glasses that crack
Do the cartier beyond blue lense come in only gold or can you get the beyond blue in silver?
We could fit custom B&B lenses to any frame 👍
Yo man... ALL of these are dope as hell---and ESPECIALLY the Barton Perreira Avtak 007 & Cartier 0270 ones---which are obviously the utmost BEST & Coolest Shades out of ALL 7 over here!
I gotta say man, the Reykjavik Eyes Hekla is fucking awesome too, extremely UNDER-rated and comes very close to the TOP dogs as well...
As for the rest, I've only got the Carrera 1028 & Hugo Boss 1310 in my possession thus far... But the other 5 will definitely follow in the future & are on my list as well, big time! 😎💪👊⚔️
You are right about RE!! I hope we can help with building up your collection.
Thank you so much for your support. I appreciate it. Hope you keep enjoying the channel
Thank you, please review DITA
I'd like to
@@thespectaclefactory HA! Then what the hell are you waiting for?! 👊💪
And in the words of Ben Stiller in Starsky & Hutch: "Come on, DO IT!" 😎👉
BTW man, speaking of which... I'de say a damn good & awesome place to start with the DITA Reviews, would be with these EPIC, Legendary & CLASSIC ones...
#1. DITA Flight 006 (You know, the ONE that Robert Downey JR. a.k.a. Tony Stark/Iron Man rocks in "Avengers: Infinity War")... 😎👉
#2. DITA Mach One...
And last but definitely NOT least (for NOW)...
#3. DITA Mach Three...
Have at it mate... Good luck in advance!
Very cool, awesome & dope channel, BTW... Extremely helpful for Shades Fanatics & Lovers like yours truly! 😎💪👊
With that being said though, I was wondering & I gotta ask you... What are your thoughts about Initium Eyewear?! You know, the ones that are featured in a MAJOR way in ALL the Marvel MCU movies & are being rocked by Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man like there's NO tomorrow...
👊
I thought Tony Stark wore Dita, no?
@@thespectaclefactory Yeah man, he sure as hell DID, big time! But he actually ONLY rocked the Notorious & EPIC Dita Shades in Avengers: Infinity War, and that was it... Interestingly enuff! And those dope as hell Shades are obviously the "Dita Flight 006", as you already know by now... 😎💪👊
But naah man, other than that it was MOSTLY Initium Eyewear, some Matsuda, Prada, Persol, Oliver Peoples, Dior, Porsche Design, Silhouette, Garret Leight, Gunnar, Paul Smith, Police and even some Ray-Ban & Tom Ford here and there, if you can believe it... 😁👉
Any thoughts on Mykita aviators?
Which one are the purple ones he wear when video start?
I featured them here: th-cam.com/video/LBnuNHgNg6g/w-d-xo.html
They are an Eco Eyewear frame with custom lenses
Can i get these with my rx?
Do you have any more recommendations for value for money aviators ? Or those that cost less than 200
I was looking into buying the MJ the Bird but been kinda put off alittle reading the reviews of the lenses popping out the frame
Have you had any experience from that with that particular pair?
They look to be out of stock now. MJ probably went back to the design board with them to fix whatever systemic issue was going on. Reviews were pretty consistently terrible with the lenses popping out.
@@johnmichaelarnaud on the UK site you can still buy them just the ones with the blue hawaii lens that are sold out
Hopefully they do as you would of thought they rectified it by now after bad reviews.. I know they been bought now so hopefully they might sort it
Carreras look best in my opinion.
Interesting! They are the least expensive pair but I love them too
I just want to know what kind of eyeglasses you wear?
th-cam.com/video/NshF-3oPdzY/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=TheSpectacleFactory
You are the best !!
Thanks so much!
No randolph?
Randolph are great!
What brand are the purple sunglasses you have on? 😍
Eco Eyewear! I reviewed them in this video: th-cam.com/video/LBnuNHgNg6g/w-d-xo.html
I love Raybans 😎
I do not want to look like President Biden. I stick to my wayfarer and look like JFK . 😂
No Randolph's? A discussion of aviators is simply not complete without mentioning them. But I suppose you don't sell them?
Looking at getting them. I'm a fan but we currently don't stock them.
Obviously I can't review every single brand that exists. Randolph are good sunglasses though
@@thespectaclefactory Hell YEAH man... I MOST definitely agree & concur to the FULLEST! 👌
Randolph's are fucking awesome & spectacular... And especially the Aviators, Concorde & Intruder ones! TOP Notch Quality for sure! 😎💪👊
If you’re actually an aircraft pilot, only Flying Eyes Optics will actually fit comfortably under a headset.
Top gun viewers 👀
The movie was actually great! And I say that as someone who usually hates Hollywood
@@thespectaclefactory I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😎
These are all fashion glasses, not aviator glasses. Blue is the absolute worst color for aviation and you never, ever want polarized lenses for aviation. If you want real aviation glasses; get Flying Eyes, Randolph, or Scheyden.
How many people who wear aviator glasses are actually pilots?
I frequently work with pilots, helping them select glasses the are suitable for aviation and make suggestions to them based upon this. These are more "aviator style" glasses for casual use, as it is a popular frame shape outside of aviation.
As much as I love Carrera, they've lost their way with Safilo and are no longer the pioneering brand of innovation
I have to agree. Since they discontinued Optyl, there is no reason to buy Carrera now
Which one do you like best?? Let me know 👇
Randolph engineering
How do you make a video on Aviator glasses but dont explain what "Aviator" is??? What makes a pair of sunglasses Aviator? Smh.
Aviator means pilot. The aviator style were designed to facilitate pilots vision when flying. In the US Navy they call aircraft pilots aviators.
Je lis tellement d'avis qui ne reposent sur rien ! Ni expérience ! Ni compétences .Tout le monde à un avis sur tout à notre époque, avec une population de plus en plus ignorante. J'ai été pendant 20 ans guide de pêche avec 12 années non stop aux States 12 mois par an avec +de 60.000 kilomètres de route par an et 90.000 heures de pêche, dans ma vie. Ce qui va suivre c'est du "Solide" pas du blablabla ! Je ne représente aucune marque et suis sponsorisé par personne ! je suis libre et impartial. C'est juste mon avis personnel !
* Les meilleures marques sont: Maui Jim et Vuarnet et après Costa Del Mar et Julbo et rien de plus ! Tout le reste c'est de la "daube" ou alors au mieux ! le prix ne vaut pas le produit . J'ai essayé durant 25 ans, les 25 + grandes marques du marché grâce à un amis qui distribue 25.000 paires par an aux USA. il est enchanté car je suis pour lui un utilisateur de premier choix vue ma vie.
Choisissez un verre "minéral ou polycarbonate"... Le minéral c'est 100% qualité exceptionnelle mais c'est fragile ! donc cassable ! (sauf certains verres minéraux de chez Vuarnet "incassable et inrayable") les seuls a faire cela ! Le verre minéral en général avec le temps des rayures apparaissent sur tous les verres minéraux.... les rayures sur les Costa del mar et les Maui jim ne se voient pas quand on pose ses lunettes sur le nez. Le polycarbonate c'est 80% qualité. C'est du plastique donc presque incassable ! mais les rayures se voient quand on les portes sur le nez.
* Maui jim sont les + performantes au niveaux de la restitution des couleurs et la polarisation.
* Costa Del Mar en verre minéral et polycarbonate sont de 15% moins bien que les Maui Jim en " terme de restitution des couleurs" la polarisation est bonne. Les Costa sont les + vendues aux USA, car tous les guides de pêche sportive Pro reçoivent une paire de lunettes gratuite par l'enseigne et par la suite des fortes réductions de prix. Donc les clients suivent l'avis des guides comme parole biblique
* Vuarnet avec leurs verres minéraux sont incomparables sur la " réverbération de la neige" et la "lumière ultra forte" ( glacier/mer) La marque "Julbo" fait des produits pour toutes les d'activités sportives spécifiques à l'inverse des 3 leaders et de + ils sont les moins cher.
J'ai 1 modèle: Vuarnet en minéral en catégorie #4 pour glaciers, désert et haute mer..... le Top dans les cas extrêmes uniquement ! Vuarnet fait également les meilleures lunettes de voiture sur le marché ( le modéle: District 1618 couleur 0016 8184.) La seule marque a faire des "verres minéraux en jaune" blindés. Le Graal absolu ! pour ceux qui veulent le meilleur contre le brouillard, la pluie et èclaircir le paysage de manière significative et sécurisante. (A ne porter que le soir/nuit) Ce sont également les meilleures lunettes pour les "pêcheurs à la mouche" en soirée/temps ou temps couvert. Pour la journée c'est Mau Jim, le top.
BREF.......Vuarnet, Maui Jim, Costal Del Mar et Julbo vous avez la "créme de la créme".
MA SELECTION PERSO EN VOYAGE ET EN FRANCE
* MAUI JIM (verres minéraux)
1 noir : pour soleil fort en protection #3 (ex: modèle: Byron-bay noir mat thing glass 74602MR)
1 paire en verre "marron-brun" en protection #3 ( tout temps: extérieur et voiture)
* VUARNET (verres minéraux)
1 paire protection #0 (ex: modéle District 1618 couleur 0016 8184 ) pour la "conduite de nuit" et la" pêche à la mouche pour le soir"
1 paire en Protection #4 Vuarnet Pouilloux référence VL0121RO1A. là ou lumière est la + nocive et la + dangereuse.
* JULBO (polycarbonate)
1 paire en protection #3 de couleur noir avec 1 modéle qui flotte sur l'eau (bateau, canoe kayak ou float tube ou la plage) sans jamais les perdre. Julbo c'est le top pour ceux qui aiment les verres photochromiques. En revanche les montures ne sont pas des ht de gamme comme les 3 autres.
* EN RESUME
Si vous ne souhaitez pas avoir autant de modèles que moi ! mais une 1 paire passe partout, prenez les "verres photochromiques" de chez JULBO de protection de #1 à # 3 (du ciel gris à beau soleil)
Vous savez maintenant faire des choix efficaces et performants sans écouter des vendeurs qui n'y connaissent rien pour la majorité !
The word aviator has been badly manipulated
How do you mean? It's kind of an umbrella term nowadays.
@@thespectaclefactory how does a sunglass pair gets it title as an aviator what is an aviator shape’s requirement
Hugo boss?😮 II imagine what will happen to temples of sunglasses with a coating of cheap white plastic, everything will be yellow
Thank you sir for your valuable research
You're welcome 🙏
