Iconic Style Meets Functional Performance The Rothco 58mm Polarized Sunglasses offer the perfect blend of classic aviator aesthetics and tactical-grade durability. Modeled after the legendary pilot eyewear of the mid-20th century, these sunglasses feature a rugged Metal Frame with comfortable spatula-style temples that hook securely behind the ears, ensuring they stay put during active use.
The standout feature is the Polarized Lens Technology. Unlike standard tinted glasses, these lenses contain a special filter that blocks intense reflected light, significantly reducing glare from surfaces like water, snow, and asphalt. This makes them indispensable for driving and outdoor sports. Safety is also a priority; the acrylic lenses are not only rated for UV400 Protection (blocking 100% of UVA/UVB rays) but are also Impact Resistant, meeting the MIL-STD-105 standard for durability. Whether you are on patrol, fishing on the lake, or just cruising down the highway, these glasses provide the clarity and protection you need.
