It's all dependant on the owners level of care. I left a pair of Oakleys in the car on a very hot day and they slowly started to blister, no fault of my own. I then bought 2 pairs of Arnettes about 4 years ago which are still like brand new. Look after them with love and they will outlast you,

Well, this is why I have several pairs of RB3025's so I can rotate them around so they don't wear out so quickly. Overall I think they are built fairly well and the quality of the materials are good.

i've had my rb rounds, which i wear almost daily, for almost 3 years. there's no evidence of wear as i frequently clean them with soap and water due to my oily skin smudging up the lenses. most sunglasses with the flash mirror coating are more prone to visible wear in general. yours look pretty normal to me. i'm ocd and baby my pricey possessions so there's that 🤓.

Thanks Syed!

I have generally purchased Oakley, however I have always had issues when it came time to either invest in another pair or get new lenses. First, models come and go. Apparently the models I wear tend to go. Second, they do not offer replacement lenses for all of their sunglasses. Or, perhaps I should say that a couple of years down the road, perhaps after discontinuing a model, they no longer make replacement lenses. Had I known any of this was going to be the case, I would not have bought them in the first place. If RayBan supports their sunglasses with replacement lenses, I may not care if their lenses, perhaps, take less abuse than Oakley.

Huge fan of your work as someone with blue eyes, the pigment issue makes shades almost always essential for me outdoors. Love the reviews and authenticity of them in general. I'll admit I've hardly ever had a pair last me more than a year or two. I guess I can count myself among the fortunate who can afford 300$+ on shades twice per year. I try to make them last but like most people I'll end up breaking them or losing them. I have yet to even be able to review after two years for these reasons. With wear and tear I feel like a year is the most I expect which for the price is fair. I'd pay a dollar per day for good eye protection and that averages out to 365$ which can go a long way for shades.

The mirrored coating on most name brand sunglass lenses is designed to get scratched and chipped. It's the manufacturer's way of trying to get you to spend more money on replacements. The aftermarket lens industry has literally exploded in recent years to take advantage of this.

Hi, I´ve a question for you. All the rayban aviators has the " Ray Ban Made in italy " On top of the bridge? I have a pair but i little bit concern about IT because I went to the ray ban´s store and I saw many aviators with that signature on the frames

Dear Shade Review, they say to replace your sun glasses every so often as lens become less effective due to sun exposure, uv rays, etc, in addition to wear and tear. Do you have an opinion on when to replace our RB aviator lens?

I have the exact same model, but polarized. A such, they have glass lenses that would most definitely not wear down like that. I also exchanged my pair for a new one after a few weeks, because sweat infiltrated underneath the transparent temple tips and it caught a green oxidation thingy, because those tips are pretty loose and they are not watertight. Nonetheless, if you a re a little on the OCD side, like me, and handle the sunglasses like a newborn, they won't wear down much, honestly.

Look at that thumbnail. Doesn’t get more clickbait than that.. you didn’t give any substantive reasons to avoid Ray Ban, you spent almost 5 minutes on this pair and the only negative was that the lense got dinged up. I was looking for a deeper dive into why I should avoid the brand, pros-cons over other aviators or other brands..

Treat your glasses with same passion as you treat your close frineds, and they will be there for decade.

I have a Ray Ban's lightrays, I dunno if the ones I got are a limited edition because I haven't seen a review in your channel, I hope if you can get the model, please upload a video just looking forward for your review, you're the best man!

I like the video format! Mirrored lenses are so cool but it's a shame how well scratches show up. I just bought my wife a pair of Randolph Concordes in cobalt flash mirror, I'm hoping they hold up a little better than these Ray Bans. I've got a couple of flash mirrored pairs myself but I am very careful with them. Definitely have been leaning more towards the plain brown lenses lately as they aren't as loud.

Just a couple times? Sounds like a standard drunk answer: How much you drink today? Oh just a couple beers... yeah sure. Also, NEVER touch the lenses... I dont think the owner took a good care of it at all.

Wtf did this guy do to these glasses? I’ve had my RB clubmasters for almost 15 yrs and I’ve hardly hard to do anything but clean then and get them adjust every couple years. I plan to be buried with them on my face at this point.

I’ve noticed and I just got my polarized aviators that I can catch my reflection of my eyes and that they aren’t that dark compared to my Oakley sutro and costas but they def look cool but they aren’t that functional bc light gets in from the sides.

With proper wear, handling, and cleaning, your lenses will never look like this. This goes for virtually every lens out there.

I've had a variety of Ray ban aviators (2 pairs of brown, one pair of grey gradients) last 5+ years with minimal wear. Basically I drop them every so often and there are small scratches on the lens that are only noticeable upon close inspection. I'd clean them maybe once a week. I had a pair of Oliver Peoples in a similar style that seemed no better quality for some 8 years before I gave them away to a girlfriend.

I find if you pop out your lenses and clean them with warm water and soap they stay brilliant. Hope my wife's rb's last for what I paid for them.
