Our 1003XD Dark Traditional Aviators are called "traditional" because of the lens design. They have a heavier than usual droop that replicates the design of original aviators of several decades past. If you're looking for that true aviator look, Our 1003XD model will give you that exact look you have been looking for.
The frame size and lenses are smaller than the full size aviators such as our M1030 mirrored and M1030SD models, but are certainly not undersized. The frame size provides an easy fit for small and medium head sizes, and because of the traditional wire temples, they flex nicely for large head sizes as well.
The lenses are darker than average sunglasses, but we can't classify them as "super dark." Super dark lenses today are very very dark with a heavy tint making it difficult to see indoors. But you will find these smoke gray lenses to be a very nice compromise between standard dark lenses and super dark. If we had to classify them in a range, we might want to call it an extra dark tint. So, if you like a lot of tint to keep the bright sun at bay, these will do the job. And, because they are neutral smoke/gray tint, they will not distort colors. As usual, our lenses provide full UVA/UVB ultra-violet ray protection.
Our polycarbonate lenses, as with all our SDA 1000 series model aviators are extra thick for extra protection. The lens thickness runs 2.0 millimeters, which is comparable to most ballistic goggles which generally range, depending on the model, from 1.5 to 2.2 millimeters. The lens to frame fit is secure and combined with robust lenses you don't have to worry about frame distortion.
We offer the 1003XD in four frame color selections.
Gold: This is a nice deep rich gold finish with tortoise shell style temple arm ends. A very traditional military style.
Dark Gun Metal: Glossy metal-like finish.
Silver: A nice chrome silver finish with black temple ends.
The nose bridge pads are flexible and fully adjustable for a nice comfortable fit. And, as is the case with all our SDA 1000 series sunglasses, they are very light and comfortable for all day wear.
We include a leather-like storage pouch for protection and convenience. Simply fold the pouch up and put it in a pocket for easy access later.
Shipping is free to U.S. and APO/FPO customers. The price you see is the full delivered price. There are no handling charges or processing fees. Overseas shipments to non-military civilian addresses are subject to reasonable shipping charges that will be applied during check out.
