The glasses came in good order .. they were just really late with the shipping .. but my customer service inquiry was dealt with immediately and they offered a full refund ..
Some of the best glasses and lenses for real pilots July 5, 2008

This aren't called "Aviators" as some silly marketing ploy. These really are well designed glasses for pilots, which is what they were originally crafted to be; not only the shape, but the G-15 lens.
I could talk about all sorts of things but would just be repeating the RayBan website. So, I will just stick to the things you can't find there.
They dip low on the cheek to stop sun glare from that area, which many glasses don't do. This is helpful to pilots who have their heads up and outside the plane while maintaining the visual scan inside. Your eyes are protected while quickly looking down at instrumentation that maybe directly reflecting the sun.
The lenses are glass, which is the only con. Modern glasses with shatter proof, impact resistant lenses are better for a pilot because you eyes are your most important tool. It would be better to have a product that was made of high impact plastic vice glass if you are concerned about protecting your eyes in the rare chance something were to smack into them. For example, if you were riding a motorcycle.
For pilots, or others protected by a windscreen, this isn't much of a problem. Having glass lenses means less scratches and nicks which means much better vision in the air. Every pilot will tell you how hard it can be locating other air traffic when specks get on glasses and windshields.
Many pilots, especially those with any experience in the Navy, won't wear these things in public because of the "Top Gun Effect," which is a documented phenomena. Long story short, if you're wearing crap you're issued or use in the job out in public with the specific point to advertise the fact you're a pilot, then you're lame. So, even if said item is quite useful away from work, you have to get a different one that is not directly identifiable with your job. That's the "Top Gun Effect." So almost all cool pilots who recognized how good these glasses are in the plane have 2 set of glasses.
If you want true aviator glasses, these are the ones for you. Built for a job, and built right.
Oh, if you want to stay true to form, get G-15 lenses and not polarized. From an FAA pilot safety brochure: "Polarized lenses are not recommended for use in the aviation environment. While useful for blocking reflected light from horizontal surfaces such as water or snow, polarization can reduce or eliminate the visibility of instruments that incorporate anti-glare filters. Polarized lenses may also interfere with visibility through an aircraft windscreen by enhancing striations in laminated materials and mask the sparkle of light that reflects off shiny surfaces such as another aircraft's wing or windscreen, which can reduce the time a pilot has to react in a "see-and-avoid" traffic situation."
Why are they called "Aviator Glasses" and not "Pilot Glasses?" Because they were first made for Naval Aviators, who are better than pilots. Yep, and it's true.
