If I could rate higher, I would

William Painter has been a company that I saw everywhere. I saw it on Instagram, Youtube, anywhere you can think I probably saw it on. I had only had ONE pair of nice sunglasses in my life, and they were a solid black pair of Raybans in the classic Aviator style. I had wanted new ones cause they were stolen years ago, but then these ads came along. I did my research, and eventually decided to buy the Hughes. Let me just say, I am not disappointed at all. They fit perfectly, You really cannot shake these off your face, the polarization is remarkable as well as the build quality, and the packaging is luxourious. Would I buy another pair? Yes, 100%. Would I reccommend to my friends? I already have. These sunglasses really are amazing.

Love the lightness

Really warmed up to these glasses. They are not your typical aviators. The lightness of the frame made it like you were hardly wearing anything and I really liked the view out of them. The brightness of the gold titanium is unusual and I like having something unique.

They are stylish, comfortable and practical.

Thanks for making such an enjoyable product!

They Feel So Good

I have never spent more than $50 on a pair of sunglasses because I know that I'm hard on sunglasses so I've never wanted to spend a whole bunch of money on something that will be broken or scratched within months of the purchase. So before purchasing these sunglasses, I did a bit of research. I read what the company said about their sunglasses; I read what other clients said about their sunglasses. And I made the leap. I purchased The Hughes and waited anxiously for them to arrive. Then the day came that they were delivered and when I opened the box, I immediately noticed how beautiful and sleek the packaging is. I'm a sucker for good marketing. The when I got them out of the box and tried them on, I could immediately feel what other clients were talking about. They feel so sturdy! I can shake my head left and right and look up and down really fast, and they're not going anywhere. And the fit is PERFECT!!! I understand why everyone loves these so much, I plan on buying more sunglasses from William Painter in the future. I certainly can't go back to the cheap ones that break all the time after wearing these.

I like them. I like them alot. Feel like I need to tweak the arm to fit my mug properly but they're very lovely and I'm sure I got at least one chick double-look. Don't be surprised how light they are, I'd gotten used to weighty glasses.

Lost Sunglasses

Aerospace Grade Titanium Frame

Titanium is the strongest metal for it's weight, which allows you to live an active life without worrying about them breaking

These sunglasses are made from the same materials used in Fighter Jets; it is extremely strong, but also deceptively light. Unlike other “premium brands” our frame is hypoallergenic, meaning it is perfectly safe for the human body.

Black Armour Coating

You are an active person and you need eyewear that can keep up. We examined drill bits, knives, firearms, and F1 race car pistons. From this we developed our own titanium protective coating.

Our "Armour" is strong... like military strong.

Rear Weighted Balance

Ever had glasses fall down your nose? We HATE that! By using titanium and ultra light lenses, we were able to greatly improve the center of balance. This makes for a comfortable fit, helping to ensure the glasses stay planted on your beautiful face.

The World's Best Lenses

We searched the entire world the best combination of scratch resistance, ultra lightweight, and optical quality. Our Japanese nylon lenses have twice the scratch resistance of glass lenses and the amazing optical quality, which mean's you'll be seeing the world in HD.

WP lenses weigh less than half of the weight of traditional glass lenses so they don't slide down your nose when you lean forward.

Next-Gen Polarization

Polarized lenses neutralizes glare, clear up objects and reduce eye strain. They work especially well on car windshields, water landscapes and other high glare environments. Over time, most lenses bubble and flake. Have you ever seen a bad tint job on a car? Same problem. Our Lifelong lenses go one step further, we integrate both the polarizing and tint layers all the way through the lens so it will last forever.

Laser Etched

We want you to have the very best. Each one of our titanium arms is laser engraved to ensure it stands the test of time. It's the details that matter, and we think it is the perfect finishing touch.

Free Protective Hardcase and Cloth

Most sunglasses don't break while they're on your face. Put them in your back pocket and that's a different story...

Don't worry, we've got you covered. We've built a hardcase to protect your sunglasses that’s as tough as you are. Take it anywhere and keep your sunglasses safe.
