Ray-Ban RB3030 Outdoorsman I Aviator Sunglasses

I had a pair of this style of Ray Ban's years ago but lost them. I've always wanted to buy another pair. I did and I love them again. They fit perfectly, feel solid and look great. However, I happened on Amazon and noticed an ad for Ray Bans, so I clicked and clicked some more. What concerned me looking at all these different pairs of Ray Bans is the problem with authenticity of the glasses when purchasing online not just Amazon. I immediately got the pair I purchased, took a very good look and they appear to be an authentic pair made in Italy. Still not completely positive I looked at the sellers review history (iframes eyewear) and they have a very good rating and guarantee. I am satisfied with the purchase and can recommend the seller as legit and someone that I would purchase from again. It wasn't until after purchasing that I noticed that they are from Australia. Another 5 stars for only taking 4 days to arrive, which I thought to be quite impressive considering the location and the price I paid, which was considerably less than the price the current seller is selling them for.

I absolutely ADORE them! They are very stylish and have a very robust feel to them. I have a small to medium sized face and 58 mm was the perfect fit. It won't fit anyone though because the cables basically hook your ears for a very tight fit (they're called outdoorsman for a reason) and the temples are kind of short as well, so depending on how your face is constructed - how big your head is in terms of diameter, how large your face is or how far your ears are from your face - it might definitively hurt your nose and the back of your ears. So do your due diligence and buy smart. Personally, I went to a store first, tried them on, decided on what size fitted me the best and came back home to order them online. These were easily going for 200 bucks at the store and I got them for half the price here.

I wanted these to work so badly — but the ear pieces were too tight, no way these would wirk for a man! I have a small face and the width was fine, but the around the ear pieces were tight and could not be adjusted

Great item fast shipping great quality recommended.

Great aviators Ray ban will always be the best sunglasses anyone can buy.

When I was a teenager and later in the Army, I wanted to wear aviator styled Ray Ban sunglasses, but my prescription was such (and the tech in making lenses of the period) that wire framed glasses of any kind were out of the question. I forgot about them over the years, then I had to have cataract surgery to replace my eye lenses. Suddenly I could see 20/20 in one eye and 20/25 out of the other! Now I can wear these without a prescription. It took some years, but now I'm finally getting to wear them...and they're great!

Ray Ban quality, had a pair prior to this one seemed to be the smaller pair after purchase. They were large on my face, i had aquired the first pair from family. The wraps on the new ones are stiff as to be expected. They are nice, the only thing is the pair i recieved the wire wrap on the left ear is bent outwards towards the end. Tried to make it straight, it wont retain the shape. Doesnt really effect how it sits on my face, with time it should give way after the wraps looses up. Love the glasses, sad i had to buy a new pair. Also they arent exactly the same as the old ones. The brow bar isnt as compact on these as the old ones i had, and they were old.

Having been a RayBan admirer for most of my life as well as an owner as soon as I could afford to buy it on my own (age 17), I was pleased that the typical life of these sunglasses are about 20-25 years minimum. They last a long time if you care for them (i.e. polish and clean, keep the lenses from getting scratched, tighten screws occasionally). Some people just beat the heck out of them but then wonder why they break.The challenge when finding the replacement (hence the review title) is to make sure you get the right size. Contrary to popular belief, glasses are like shoes - they must fit the person's face. Case in point, I had ordered a 52mm size Aviators for the missus when hers finally fell apart, and no amount of maintenance could put it back together. Since she had owned hers since before flight school, it had more than paid for itself. However, the 52mm was too small even for her petite face. I later found that I needed a 58mm size. Trying to find a 58mm with a support bar (the crosspiece above the nose) and cable temples (instead of regular solid hooks over your ears) was challenging to say the least. Fortunately, Amazon made it easy and I found the right style and frame. It's all black instead of the classic gold frame, but otherwise the missus is pleased (and by definition, so am I). This is a great buy at a good price. Shipping was on time and well padded. The only item of slight concern is that the quality of the leather case appears to have gone down in manufacturing over the years. Nominal use (daily open/close while stored in the car) has resulted in the button snap starting to wear at the point that it is sown into the case flap. We'll just simply replace it with the older case which has nice fatigue patterns but still snaps confidently to this day.
