Ray Ban
Ray Ban Sunglasses
Ray Ban sunglasses have seventy years of technology behind what is now the most
iconic eyewear fashion statement in the world. Ray Bans are worn by anyone who
knows fashion sunglasses or anyone just trying to make a statement about being
cool. Steve Mc Queen exemplifies this more than anyone else and celebrities all
over the world carry on the tradition.
Ray Ban History
Ray Ban Aviators were originally designed for pilots in 1937 to deal with high
altitude glare and the sunglasses have dealt with glare ever since, the
Hollywood glare, the rock and roll glare, and the sports hero glare and even the
glare from the sun.
The first endorsement for Ray Bans was made in 1938 by Amelia Earhart, the first
woman to fly the Atlantic solo; the endorsements have continued throughout the
years by sports stars, movie stars and national heroes.
Ray Ban Technology
The technology behind Ray Ban sunglasses is always changing and the sunglasses
are continuously improved. Ray Ban is probably best known for its polarized lens
technology. The Ray Ban polarized lenses; made of crystal or plastic, eliminate
the glare of reflected or polarized light. This makes the glasses extremely
useful when around the water or other highly reflective surfaces. Ray Ban brags
with their polarized lenses, glare will be a thing of the past.
Another unique Ray Ban technology is their Ray-Ban Light Adaptive® lenses. These
lenses are designed to adapt to different light conditions. The lenses turn dark
when in direct sunlight and then turn clear when indoors or in low lighting.
Ray Ban technology is not only about protective lenses. The Ray Ban Memo-Ray
technology supports a virtually indestructible sunglass frame. These frames are
made of a nickel-titanium compound that is as strong as steel, corrosion
resistant and lightweight.
The newest Ray Ban frame technology is the Carbon Fiber frame which has one of
the greatest strength to weight ratios of any material making these new frames
light, strong, flexible and damage resistant.
Ray Ban: The Style and The
Statement
Over the years Ray Bans have come in so many different styles that it would be
difficult to collect all the styles. Wearing a pair of Ray Bans signifies style.
Quite frankly if you are wearing Ray Bans and someone has to ask, “What kind of
sunglasses do you have on?” you should smile and walk on.
