Story US-crafted sunglasses at the intersection of vision and velocity The Racer breathes new life into American Optical’s Original Pilot shape—a style trusted by US military pilots and NASA astronauts since 1958. Handcrafted acetate frames replace the metal, but AOLite™ polarized lenses remain. Chromatically tuned to reduce eye fatigue in bright light, these durable lenses also protect against impact, glare, UV rays, and the occasional moonbeam. Features Made in the USA 100% UVA/UVB protection Durable, lightweight construction Polarized AOLite™ lenses reduce glare and enhance contrast ANSI Z80.3 certification for protection against impact, UV rays, and optical distortion Anti-reflective backside coating Scratch-resistant hardcoat Oleophobic smudge-resistant coating Materials Acetate frames AOLite™ nylon lenses Size 48 x 22 x 145 mm Care Wipe day to day smudges with a lens cloth Limit exposure to saltwater and chlorine Use mild dish soap and lukewarm water (wet frames first) to clean your glasses—give the nose pads and temple tips some extra attention to remove oils Dry with a lint-free microfiber cloth Use two hands to put them on and take them off. Using one hand, over time, can affect the alignment and fit of your sunglasses Handle them gently so as not to alter the frame alignment Always store them in a case when not in use About American Optical American Optical has been supplying this country with quality eyewear since before Edison invented the light bulb. Nearly two centuries later, AO is going strong—still designing exceptional sunglasses, and still making them in the USA. Along the way they made fans of the Apollo 11 crew, JFK, and, well…us. We're of the opinion that a brand with that kind of staying power and this amazing lineup is worthy of words like iconic and timeless, but no need to take our word for it. Grab a pair for yourself. You'll see.
