Product Insights
Le 31's Sea Breeze Retro Aviator sunglasses offer polarized lenses with 100% UV400 protection meeting ANSI Z80.3 standards, a metal frame at a rare $29 CAD price point, designed in Canada as a Simons exclusive; however, the thin frame is vulnerable to heat and pressure damage, the metal finish can corrode from sweat and chemicals, temple screws require monthly tightening, and the green-tinted variant appears dark brown in sunlight.
Verified claims
- Polarization
- Polarized lenses reduce reflected glare from roads and water, improving clarity for driving and outdoor use.
- Brand heritage
- Le 31: Simons' exclusive in-house brand with bold design and Canadian origin.
- Value
- Metal frame and polarized lenses at $29 CAD, rare at this price.
- UV protection
- 100% UV400 protection blocks UVA and UVB rays and aligns with ANSI Z80.3 UV transmittance requirements for nonprescription sunglasses.
- Heat and pressure damage
- Heat from a hot car or bag compression can permanently warp the thin frame.
- Chemical damage
- Sweat, perfume, and hairspray can corrode the metal finish.
- Screw loosening
- Temple screws loosen over time; monthly tightening prevents detachment.
- Frame
- Use only microfiber and lens spray; avoid paper towels and household cleaners.
- Tint
- Green lenses appear dark brown in sunlight, not translucent green.
- Design language
- Designed in Canada as a Simons exclusive, this retro aviator fits Le 31's bold design language.
- Color enhancement
- Polarized lenses restore natural color saturation by eliminating white glare.
- Frame construction
- The Sea Breeze Retro Aviator uses a classic metal frame that balances retro recognition with lightweight comfort.
- Storage
- Storing these lightweight metal aviators in a hard case prevents the most common failure: a bent bridge or temple that permanently ruins the fit.

Compared within this brand.
| Sea Breeze Retro Aviator Sunglasses: Choose this if you want classic teardrop aviators with polarized lenses offering 100% UV protection, glare-free vision, and a light, comfortable thin metal frame. The gray gradient lenses (darker at top, lighter at bottom) and adjustable nose pads make them easy to wear, and they come in one size across Black, Green, Blue, and Orange colors. Note that since it is offered only in ONE SIZE, fit adjustability beyond the nose pads is limited.[1,2] | Trey Aviator Sunglasses: Choose this if you want a lightweight, comfortable plastic-framed aviator with 100% UV protection in a classic silhouette that reviewers say draws compliments and fits current trends, offered in one size and several colors including Black. Be aware the frames run noticeably larger than typical aviators (sizing down is suggested if you want a snug fit), and the plastic hinges may not withstand frequent daily on-and-off use, so reviews suggest reserving them for occasional outings. Some customers also found the lenses darker in person than the product images depict.[3,4] | Trace Translucent Aviator Sunglasses: Choose this if you want a light, comfortable plastic aviator with polarized lenses intended for glare-free vision and optimal colour perception, plus 100% UV protection. The translucent light taupe/brown glossy frame has a slightly squared, double-bridge design with integrated plastic nose pads formed into the frame, so it suits those who don't need separate adjustable pads. Product images are described with dark grey lenses, though one description reports a gradient tint and another a uniform flat tint.[5,6,7] |

★★★★★Gary B.
was hoping for that translucent green colour, but they're extremely dark, and really just look like dark brown tinted glasses. I had to check the SKU number to make sure I got the right ones.
