 Good lenses but--Mar 30, 2009
By Dan W. Mann
"Top laid back"
quality has dropped in the Serengeti line.
I have owned Serengeti sunglasses for years and have bought many pairs but lately have been noticing a lack of product quality.
The four pairs of Aviators I own have a insentient tendency to lose frame screws. I can't count the number of times I have tightened screws and a couple of weeks later have the screws fall out. Also the eye-pieces or rests that ride on your nose have lately been falling apart.
Right now I have a pair of Aviators that needs screws, a Georgetown and another pair that need nose pieces. The kicker is that these are fairly new glasses.
Bad to pay the price for what you would expect to be excellant sunglasses and have cheap four or five dollars sunglasses have better durability.

 Usual excellent lens with the better frameSep 05, 2005
By G. W. Sims
Unlike the large lens Aviator, which I bought last time, this medium lens model comes with the hinged earpieces on the frame. This frame is much more durable and worth the slightly smaller lens size.

Simply The BestDec 21, 2008
By John J. Stegemoller

Im my profession as an airline pilot, I have purchased numerous pairs of sunglasses in my 25 years in the air, and these are simply the best I have purchased. I'm sure glass technology has changed a bit, but for the money, these are far superior to glasses I've paid over $400 for.
First, they are not polarized due to the polarization of the flight deck windows and displays in the flight deck. As you know, if you wear polarized glasses and look thorugh a polarized windshield, you get the "oily" smear of colors. Worse yet, if you wear polarized glasses in the flight deck, and rotate your head to the right or left, the polarization of both the glasses and the displays will cause them to black out at extreme angles. Obviously not a good scenario. If, on the other hand, you need the polarization for water activities, snow skiing, etc, then I would most definitely purchase the polarized version.
Next, these glasses seem to have x-ray capabilities in hazy, smoggy, overcast sky conditions. Also, when looking for other airplane traffic at altitude, these glasses allow me to be the first of the 3 pilots to actually spot the other airplane the controller has pointed out.
This is especially helpful as most of my flying is done in Europe, which is notorious for hazy sky conditions.
Lastly, they come with a hard sided case which protects your purchase and also fits handily in the flight bag.
Overall, a great pair of glasses at a good price. Yes, you can pay more, and I have. But I'm not sure you can get a technically better pair of sunglasses.

Tough to beat this productJul 16, 2010
By Robert O. Tucker
"robert"
This is about the fourth pair of Serengeti glasses I have bought. I still use the first pair even though they show their age and wear. If you are careful protecting the lenses from scratches (I have one of my four pair that was affected that way)they last a long time. I am a private pilot, and the glasses are exceptional at improving vision during very hazy or misty conditions. I have tested this on more than one occasion by lifting the glasses out of the way and then returning them to normal position. You can definitely see more clearly with them on. This can be quite important when conditions are not actual IMC but probably should be.

Best ever lenses for sunglasses!Dec 30, 2009
By L. Brown
I have owned several pairs of Serengetis with their Drivers lenses over the years & I will never wear anything else if I have a choice. I am very fair-skinned & sensitive to sunlight all around; these are great lenses & worth every penny. The frames are well made also; they provide good coverage for my eyes from any angle. Everybody else can have their trendy "name-brand" shades; Serengeti Drivers are the real deal!
