Ray-Ban Gunmetal Raptor Sunglasses

Every pilot needs a good pair of sunglasses, and this pair from Ray-Ban delivers a classic style for fliers who prefer subtle, less-obtrusive coverage. The Gunmetal Raptor glasses feature a slim, rectangular shape and muted colors, with gray frames and olive-colored lenses. The lenses are Ray-Ban’s G15 non-polarized lenses which, unlike polarized glasses, allow fliers to view cockpit instruments and digital devices.

The glasses protect against 100% of ultraviolet rays and are priced at $153 per pair. Each purchase comes with a carrying case for the glasses as well as a cleaning cloth.
