Best sunglasses I've ever owned
This is my third pair of Hughes. My family keeps pilfering them for their own. Extremely light and comfortable, doesn't even feel like you've glasses on I've portaged and paddled 100's of miles in the BWCA / Quetico with these, they're also very durable. Buy them now.

Love Them!
I love these sunglasses. They are stylish and very lightweight/comfortable. I was a little worried they would look/be a tad big on my face but they aren’t. They fit perfectly. These are my second pair, my first pair is the Empire. Highly recommend.

Best Pair I've ever Owned, Great Company!
These are my primary pair of sunglasses and I love them. They look cool and are great for work or recreation. I wouldn't wear them to do sports since they aren't super tight, but I use them regularly as shooting glasses. I bought them in 2021 and replaced them the same year. The new pair had a lighter color gold than the former which you can see in the last 4 pictures. I get headaches with sunglasses that don't block enough glare or are too tight. I can wear these all day and not even notice. I already used the lifetime warranty when I lost the lens on one side. The nose bridge piece came off the metal, but I reclamped it with a pair of pliers. I've been using the Hughes for 4 years at this point, best pair I've ever owned.

Love them!
These are really comfortable and nice to use! I got an aviator type for free at a festival and that led me to actually get a pair with proper sun protection! Taking advantage of the sale I bought this pair and I trully enjoy it!

Best Sunglasses out there!
I've always been a fan of the aviator styling, and after owning several pairs from several reputable brands over the years, i've settled on The Hughes as my all time favorite style to wear. I've owned them in black for a few years now and finally decided to pick them up in gold just to mix it up from time to time!

Second pair. Great aviators
I had my first pair for 3 years, and then lost them paddle boarding in a river. William Painter gave me $75 off my next pair, no problems. This new pair seems like the lenses are even brighter and clearer and bette polarization than the first pair. I couldn’t be happier.
