Ray-Ban Aviator Classic RB3025 review

The Ray-Ban RB3025 Aviator Classic is the answer to the question of which Ray-Ban aviator to buy: it is the brand's metal pilot frame, and FramesDirect, a Ray-Ban Certified Store, describes it as originally crafted for US pilots. It has a lightweight full-rim metal frame, adjustable silicone nose pads and 100% UVA/UVB protection. The main draw is choice. FramesDirect lists more than 30 frame and lens combinations, including Gold with Crystal Green Polarized lenses, Black with Black Polarized lenses and mirrored polarized versions such as Matte Gold with Blue Mirror and Matte Silver with Silver Mirror, plus 55mm, 58mm and 62mm widths. The default color was $244 at our check, and FramesDirect lists a 2-year manufacturer frame warranty. Ray-Ban's own US site blocked our checks, so we could not confirm its direct price or lens details there. Plain and polarized lenses share the same page, so read the lens name before checkout. Buyers who want glass lenses or a longer warranty should look at Randolph or American Optical.
