I wasn't sure which aviators to purchase, so I tried a few on and fell in love with these.  It seems that the trend is to wear aviators that are quite large, but I feel that these fit my face really well.  I would not say that I have a small face/head being a normally proportioned 6' man, and these glasses are perfect on me.  Not too large, so they've got a classic look.

The lenses have a nice amount of tint, and I chose to get the polarized version as I spend a bit of time on the water.  These polarized glasses do sometimes conflict with lcd screens, but I find the ability to cut the glare off the water to be worth it.  I do, however, have a hard time viewing the display of the GPS on my boat, but I would still opt for the polarized version if I had to do it again.

The frames and hinges seem sturdy.  The nose pieces can be bent and don't seem to lose strength as you adjust them.  I stupidly put these in my jeans pocket, and the nose-pieces did get bent out of shape.  It took me a couple of minutes to readjust them back to the way I like them, but I feel like they are as good as new.

Use the supplied micro-fiber cloth to clean the lenses, and the optical quality is great.  Looking through these sunglasses is noticeably more pleasant than looking through polycarbonate lenses, even decent quality ones.

Two minor negatives, and one of them is clearly my fault.  I dropped these on payment, lenses down, and they got a very minor scratch.  It's not bad given that I was high up, but a bummer nonetheless.  I was glad they didn't break, and the scratch is clearly my fault.  I hate scratches, but don't really notice this at all.  The second negative is that the temple pieces, where they meet the clear plastic ear-pieces, have started to tarnish beneath the plastic.  It sits behind your ear, so it's not a cosmetic issue, I just hope they don't develop a structural problem.  One year in, and they still seem as sturdy as the day I bought them.  Also, I spend a lot of time around saltwater, so they've probably seen more abuse and corrosive environments than most.
