    NASA INSPIRED STRENGTH

    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.

    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.

    Best glasses, bar none. No, this isn’t a fake review.

    Title says it all. This is the absolute BEST pair of glasses without question. If you’re wondering if this review is fake, it’s not, I have 2 cats <— proof I’m not a robot.

    Shut up and give them your money, it's worth.
