Sunny-day wear with Level 3 UV protection
These Fossil aviator sunglasses are for wearing out on bright, sunny days, with a Level 3 UV protection rating that Simons describes as perfect for sunny weather. The metal and plastic frame is described as light and comfortable for everyday wear.[1]
Everyday care for your aviator sunglasses
These aviators come with a rigid designer case and cleaning cloth, so you can tuck them into the hard case when not in use to help prevent damage. Handle them gently when putting them on and taking them off to avoid stretching or bending the arms, and keep in mind that excessive heat can distort plastic frames and crack the lenses. Since frame joints can loosen naturally over time and cause sunglasses to slip off and break, occasional readjusting is worth the effort.[1,2]
