I recently bought some cheap aviator with typical ... ear bars. (What are those things called, anyway?) And those cheapos looked cool, and fit decently, but they were too light and frequently fell off.

So after a bit of research, I decided to try these. Another reviewer had it right when he said, 'great except for the yellow detail'. Exactly. The 'yellow detail' is a totally unnecessary cross-bar that goes across the top of the glasses, inside the frame a bit, apparently designed to hold the glasses away from your face a bit to compensate for the hooked ear pieces.

Well, that 'yellow detail' looks COMPLETELY retarded. (Pardon me, you politically correct folks who find that term offensive.) Unbearably so. Remedy? Take some wire-cutter and snip them off at the welding-points where the 'yellow detail' attaches to the glasses. Cut it close, so you don't leave a couple of sharp points that could gouge your brow.

Instantly 100% better. Now they look like decent aviators (although SLIGHTLY larger than normal). And the pieces that hook over the ears are AWESOME. I've never seen those on glasses before, and they feel good and hold the glasses on well ... if the layout of your head and ears are compatible. I've heard a reviewer (or two?) complain of them pulling on the ears. Today, I caught the hook poking the back of my right ear a little, but bending it seemed to fix it. (The hooks are very flexible.)

So, if they're shaped well to your head, and your 'brow to ear depth ratio' fits with the hooks, and you cut off that stupid yellow thing and its associated metal, then you've got yourself some pretty sweet aviators.

And the case is nice, too.

Pretty fast shipping from this vendor.
