Quick answer
The Jet Black Aviator is a top choice for kids' UV protection, offering a durable, classic frame and smoke lenses that reduce glare without distorting colors.
Why choose an aviator frame for your child?
Aviator frames are known for their timeless style and practical design. The teardrop shape provides good coverage, protecting the eyes from sunlight coming from different angles. This makes them a great option for active kids who spend a lot of time outdoors.
Smoke lenses: a practical choice for everyday wear
Smoke lenses are a neutral gray tint that reduces overall brightness without altering color perception. This is ideal for kids because it helps them see the world naturally while still protecting their eyes from UV rays. They are a versatile choice for sunny days and outdoor activities.
Durability matters for kids' sunglasses
Kids can be tough on their belongings, so durability is key. The Jet Black Aviator is made with a well-designed construction that can handle everyday play. The included microfiber storage bag also helps keep the lenses scratch-free when not in use.
Decision rules for choosing kids aviator sunglasses
- Check UV protection rating: Look for sunglasses that block 99-100% of UVA and UVB rays. The Jet Black Aviator is designed with this in mind, but always verify the label.
- Consider lens tint: Smoke lenses are a neutral gray that reduces glare without changing colors, making them a great everyday choice. If your child needs enhanced contrast, consider amber or brown lenses.
- Ensure proper fit: Sunglasses that slide down or pinch are uncomfortable. The Jet Black Aviator comes in size options, so measure your child's face and choose the right fit. A snug but not tight fit is ideal. Measure the distance between temples and the bridge of the nose to find the right size.
