... Optical or Randolph Aviation Glasses from clothing sales exactly like these when I was flying in the military
I used to buy American Optical or Randolph Aviation Glasses from clothing sales exactly like these when I was flying in the military.Only prob with them is they have gotten so expensive. These are made exactly like the ones with gov spec with the straight temples which are designed for putting them on with a flight helmet on. I find them also great for motorcycle helmets. these are even better in my opinion because they come with spring load hinges, a plus over the gov. spec. ones for a lot less money.I would buy them again.Wm Scott

so I would rather dislike the style at under $20 than a higher price ...
I bought these knowing that the quality may be suspect based on other reviews, but it's a new style for me, so I would rather dislike the style at under $20 than a higher price point.Positives are the look, the feel on my head (i.e. the bayonet arms are comfortable and stay in place), and knowing that my head needs 57mm sunglasses.The only negative is that the left lens does move in the frame when I wipe them, so I am assuming that in time it'll pop out.Also, I can see my eyes through the lenses, so no gawking at people in these with anonymity.

You get what you paid for
I shouldn't expect too much for $20 sunglasses and that's exactly what I got. Thin plastic lenses and the frames are a very lightweight metal. Once I started to wipe the lenses clean after peeling off the sticker, one of the lenses seemed to rattle around a bit in the frame, so I don't expect these to last very long if I put any regular use on them.The only plus I can attribute is that they are the classic squared pilot frame but I'm going to keep them to use as spares.

No matter how low your expectations are, lower them.
My expectations were low going into the purchase of these Humvee sunglasses. All I was hoping for was a pair of cheap sunglasses to get me through a season of active use - fully expecting them to be easily damaged and get thrown out at the end of summer.What actually happened was the lenses were scratched the very first day I owned them. I wore them on the beach while I sat in a chair and read a book, then threw them back in the included case, put the case in our beach bag, and went swimming. I came back out to find the lenses scuffed to the point of being unusable.In hindsight, I should have expected that. The plastic they used for the lenses is very soft, which matches the garbage materials used for the frame and the terrible build quality.I'll be sticking with generic grocery store sunglasses for my beaters I'm the future. They're cheaper and believe it or not, they hold up better.

This finish isn't really "matte".
After sacrificing a few expensive pairs of sunglasses to boat mishaps, spontaneous loss of ambulatory ability and a surprise bear attack, I needed good glasses that I don't mind losing.These glasses do not dissapoint for the price.The one minor gripe I have is that they're advertised as "matte", but they are not. If you've had AO matte, these are not that finish.The upside is that the reflection from the (shiny) silver may momentarily blind the next bear that tries to surprise me.

Below average
I own both AO and RE pilot sun glasses and they are great, but I'm now retired and can no longer afford to replace them. These are an ok knock around pair of sun glasses. If you lose them it doesn't take 80 bucks to replace them.Update: I bought 2 pair one has held up the other fell apart. In all honesty I wouldn't purchase again.

Broke
The sunglasses are great but the screw came out and its not a standard size glasses screw that could be fixed with a repair kit. Virtually cannot use them. Be careful when handling them...

A great value for a fraction of the price of the "originals"
I was surprised by how well made these are considering the price. I've been wearing a similar style (one of the "original" brands) for years, and I have to say that these Humvees may even be a little better... for about 1/4 of the price (and the "originals" don't even have the spring hinges that the Humvees do). If you're looking for a good, solid, robust pair of classic aviators, you won't go wrong with these. The polarized lenses are an added bonus!
