Product Insights
The Trey Aviator Sunglasses by Le 31 are Simons-exclusive, Canadian-designed aviators priced at $29, offering all-day comfort with an all-plastic frame and metal hinges that avoid nose pressure. The dark-tinted lenses provide 100% UV protection (UV400), but are non-polarized plastic, reducing glare from digital screens while omitting road/water glare reduction and being scratch-prone (mitigated by the included pouch). The frame features heat-adjustable temples via warm water and a fixed nose bridge, balancing trend over durability as a private-label value choice.

Deep Research
Frame fit, nose pads, and adjustability
- The Trey’s plastic frame means the nose section is integrated into the frame rather than using separate, adjustable pads — a design approach common to plastic aviators that creates a smooth, unbroken bridge contour and relies on the frame’s sculpted shape for support, rather than offering per-nose-pad micro-adjustability.
- If the one-size fixed bridge doesn’t feel perfect out of the box, the plastic frame can be adjusted at the temples by briefly soaking in warm water — up to 60 seconds softens the material enough to widen or tighten the arms, a simple DIY method that tailors overall grip even without moveable nose pads.
The included signature storage pouch
- Unlike many sunglasses in the $29 CAD bracket that ship bare or with a generic cloth, the Trey includes a Le 31 signature storage pouch — a minor detail that provides daily scratch protection and signals a slightly more complete product experience for the price.
What 100% UV protection means for budget sunglasses
- The Trey Aviator's dark aviator tint reduces glare without the hidden danger of pupil dilation that makes unlabeled dark sunglasses more harmful than going bare-eyed, because the '100% UV protection' label confirms the lens actually blocks the radiation that prompted the dilation in the first place.
How the Trey stacks up against other affordable aviators
- A signature pouch ships with the Trey at no upcharge, while several similarly priced aviators arrive in minimal packaging that leaves lenses unprotected from the first scratch. That branded case adds immediate out-of-the-box practicality and a touch of presentation that $29 rarely buys.
- Metal-framed aviators around $30 often spark discomfort during long drives or beach days because of nose-bridge weight; the Trey's 'light and comfortable plastic frame' leans into the featherweight trend that premium sport aviators champion, making it a pain-free pick for people who keep their sunglasses on for hours.
Le 31 as a Simons exclusive and what it means for value
- Le 31 carries a ‘designed in Canada’ brand identity, visible on its other accessories and as part of its core marketing; for the Trey aviator, this means the product is part of a Canadian-conceived fashion line, adding a layer of local credibility that differentiates it from anonymous fast-fashion imports.
- Le 31 accessories — from the Trey aviator at $29 to Canadian-made leather belts at $69 — all sit below the $70 threshold, establishing the brand as a fast-fashion layer within Simons where the priority is capturing a specific look at an impulse-friendly price point, not investing in longevity or optical technology.
- The inclusion of a branded storage pouch with a $29 sunglass is a deliberate touch that elevates the unboxing experience beyond what the price tag suggests; it mimics the packaging beats of premium eyewear and signals that Le 31 values presentation as a core part of its private-label appeal, making the Trey feel more considered than its raw material cost would imply.
- As a house brand developed solely for Simons department store, Le 31 operates as a private label that short-circuits the wholesale markup, allowing the Trey aviator sunglasses to deliver a trend-forward silhouette at a price that undercuts even mid-tier name brands — the exclusivity means the design choices are tightly aligned with Simons’ seasonal fashion buys rather than a standalone optical brand’s performance priorities.
How light and comfortable the plastic frame really is
- The product listing’s “Plastic, metal” material breakdown indicates the Trey uses metal only for structural accents — hinges, possibly thin temple cores — leaving the chassis dominated by lightweight plastic, so the overall frame remains as light as an all-plastic design while gaining a subtle bit of rigidity.

Very nice quality
Wish the detail on the arm were gold instead of silver, but here we are. They're still really nice.

Nice shades
Price is right. Quality is low.
I don't expect these to last more than a couple months. The plastic construction of the body and joints is exceptionally cheap.
Elegant for less
Great $ value and excellent style.
Stylish!
Super stylish and trendy! Love 'em!
I don’t like them
They aren’t transparent as picture would make you believe. Plus they came in a bubble wrap, that’s it. Not even like a cloth bag for glasses.
Q&A
3 answered- Are the lenses polarized?
- No, the Trey Aviator Sunglasses are not polarized. The product description lists 100% UV protection but does not mention polarization, and unlike some other Le 31 aviator styles (like the Saxton or TJ), the Trey model does not include polarized lenses.
- Do these sunglasses provide UV400 protection?
- While not explicitly labeled as UV400, 100% UV protection typically means the lenses block 99-100% of UVA and UVB rays up to 400 nm, which is effectively UV400 protection.
- Are the lenses made of plastic or glass?
- The product information does not specify the lens material. The frame is plastic (and metal in some variants), but at this price point the lenses are most likely made of plastic as well.
