The Ray-Ban Aviator was originally created in 1937 for US fighter pilots. It has since become the reigning sunglass style in the world for those of us outside the cockpit as well. And while polarization isn't recommended for pilots, the rest of us sure do enjoy the benefits of polarized sunglasses. In this post, we cover some of the most popular colors of Ray-Ban Aviators with polarized lenses. These lens types, while all polarized, have different levels of VLT (visible light transmission). VLT is the amount of light that passes through a lens. A lower percentage VLT equals less light. Therefore, you can find the best polarized Aviators not only for your style, but for your specific vision needs as well. Keep reading to find the best Ray-Ban polarized Aviator sunglasses for you!

Ray-Ban Classic Polarized Aviator Sunglasses

Classic polarized Aviators feature the iconic G-15 Green lenses. The standard G-15 lens was the first lens used in the Ray-Ban Original Aviator. The "15" in the name represents the amount of light that passes through the standard G-15 lenses. These lenses were developed to absorb 85% of visible light, stop glare, and provide color contrast. Today, you can get polarized G-15 lenses which have a bit of a lower VLT than the standard G-15 lens.

Ray-Ban Gradient Polarized Aviator Sunglasses

Gradient lenses provide a fun and unique look. The top of the lens is darker and lightens gradually toward the bottom of the lens. Gradient lenses let more light pass through the lens than the classic and mirrored styles. Therefore, these lenses are typically ideal for partly sunny and cloudy conditions — and of course, for looking cool.
