Presented in partnership with Randolph Sunglasses…
Known for producing “The Aviator,” Randolph Engineering has been manufacturing sunglasses for the U.S. Military for over 40 years. Randolph Aviators are so iconic even, they’ve been gifted from POTUS to other world leaders at the most recent Geneva Summit.
If that’s not a good enough co-sign, we’re not sure what is.
Randolph shades are worn specifically by U.S. military fighter pilots, service members, and government officials because every pair delivers optimum protection while exuding timeless style.
