Ray-Ban RB3138 Shooter Aviator Sunglasses

I went through reviews of this, Amazon continuously scrubs any one star reviews of claims of fakes or boxes being empty. But seeing them concerned me. Believe it or not, they’re definitely the real McCoy, they’re every bit of a pair of Shooters in 62 mm. So they get a 5 star review from me.

I liked everything, great glasses, nothing to add here!

I was amazed to find this pair of "used" half price Ray-ban Shooter sunglasses in as new packaging. I have to believe they are new. All good. Thanks Amazon!

Looking at a bright blue sky with white cotton ball clouds, I definitely prefer the better contrast these G-15 lenses provide compared to the dark polarized lens I have on my other Ray bans. I swapped the arms for aftermarket cable ones like what is found on the outdoorsman. And after a bit of adjustment find them comfortable w/o fear they'll fall off my face. Recommended.

I wear 1970s built B&L shootering glasses every day. These Luxotica look almost exactly the same, but there is one manufacturering change which I don't like. In my B&L shooters the brow bar's metal goes all the way across. This makes fir a strong frame with the plastic just for comfort. As you can see in my photo Luxotica cheaped out by not running the metal all the way across. Instead the plastic is molded over staked ends creating a stress point for future failure. I don't expect the Luxotica shooters to last 50 years like my B&L shooters. It is a shame, since the Luxotica shooters look and feel good.Update 2024 Februarty: Discovered another problem with the Luxotica version: the brow bar doesn't keep the lenses off my forehead like the B&L ones do. This is part of the cheaping out on manufuacturing costs. the Result is that I have to clean the lenses constantly if I am to look through the upper inside of lenses. B&L designed these for rifle shooters so one would have lens in front of the eyes when sighting. They also give very good almost safety goggle coverage.This brings up another deficiency in the Luxotica shooters: the lenses do not descend down the face as far the B&L Shooters. This reduces the coverage both for safety goggle use and preventing stray light for sunglasses use. My over 50 year B&L shooters have saved my eyes from foreign objects many times.Update 2024 February: Amazon sent me 2 of these which appeared to be returns and were damaged. The 3rd one was good

Ray Ban Shooters. Did not like them at first. Went ahead a got them and they are my new daily wear. Good glasses. Can’t go wrong with Ray Ban if you like the aviators.

This classic frame was originally shipped (1950s-1990s) with cable temples. The design was changed after RayVab became an Italian fashion brand. For some years, the hinges used were still large enough to unscrew the flat temples and replace with cable temples. NOEW, the Italian (Chinese?) fabricators are using tiny hinges with tiny screws which can not be removed with standard jewelers’ tools. Swapping Teflon temples requirres the services of an optician. Poor design choice. Not user friendly. I sent my latest pair back.

Nice glasses with beautiful color but they were too small for my wide, square face shape.I'm sending them back!!!!! Shame because they looks really nice :(
