Titanium Aviator Sunglasses by William Painter

What sets The Hughes Apart?

Seize the day in an upgraded classic you’ll reach for again and again.

Black Armour Coating

We examined drill bits, knives, firearms, & F1 race car pistons to develop our own titanium protective coating. Our "Armour" is strong and scratch-resistent.

Laser Etched Arms

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.

Japanese Nylon Lenses

Twice the scratch resistance of glass lenses & amazing optical quality means 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. Truly the world’s best lens.

Rear-Weighted Balance

Titanium frames & ultra light lenses greatly improve the center of balance, which makes for a comfortable fit & helps ensure the glasses stay planted on your beautiful face.

Aerospace Grade Titanium Arms

Made from the same materials used in Fighter Jets; they’re extremely strong, but also deceptively light.

Next-Gen Polarization

Neutralize glare & reduce eye strain. Our Lifelong lenses go one step further integrating both polarizing & tint layers all the way through the lens so it will last forever.

Way lighter than expected.

I am not sure I am cool enough to pull off the gold color but I am keeping them because I like the brown tint. I got Lasik last week and I needed to load up on sunglasses to plant where I would need them; car, travel bag, near my Onewheel for riding. I ended up buying two pair of Empires and when I saw how awesome they were, I bought a third pair of Empires and one of the gold Hughes. The Hughes are great because they block more wind from drying my just-laser-fried eyeballs. They also have a much bigger lens so more of your vision is protected from sun. I really expected these to be heavier. They are very light weight and SUPER comfortable to wear. I have been forced to get very expensive proscription sunglasses in the past and I have had lots of name brands, Ray Ban, Bolle, and Oakley to name the three most recent. These are WAY, WAY, WAY better sunglasses than all of those. More comfortable, more sturdy, clearly better quality. I bought four pair of William Painters so obviously I am impressed! Not one hint of regret from this guy.

Quality

Most solid pair of sunglasses I've ever held. Fits amazing, heavy to hold but not heavy while they're on. Great lenses. I'm exceptionally stoked.

How Technology can Impact the Real World

So first I'll tell you how I wear them then I'll tell you why I love Williampainter sunglasses. I wear the sunglasses to the gym. I let my friend you'se my sunglasses he would get his own but he doesn't have that kind of money. Well anyways I got the sunglasses back and he said that he fell on them. There was no damage done to them other then a little bend that I just bent back. These Williampainter sunglasses are way better then the old pairs of sunglasses I've had, I'm just a little concerned of misplacing them orsomeone taking them.
