Photochromic Lens
When used indoors, the Inferno lens provides clear eye protection without any tint. When exposed to UV rays, the color of the lens automatically darkens, providing protection from the sun. This popular lens keeps your eyes protected in changing environments or weather. This functional offering is a favorite for its versatility in a variety of settings spanning both on the job and personal use.
Uses:
- Transitioning from indoor to outdoor activities
- Maintaining eye protection from day to night
- Appropriate coverage in hazy or changing weather conditions
Important Information:
- Photochromic lenses are temperature dependent; they look darkest in colder temperatures
- Photochromic lenses use UV light from the sun to activate; they will not transition if restricted by car windshields with UV blockers, underneath a hat, or any other instance where direct sunlight is not present
- VLT ranges from 85% (Clear) to 15% (Dark) across an approximate 60 second transition time.

Love these Aviators
I love these aviators. This is my second pair. They are sturdy and classic. I’m sad they are being discontinued but I know yall will replace them with something great! When I lost my first pair after about 4 years, I took the opportunity to reevaluate my sunglasses options. Needless to say, I came running back to Gatorz. Nothing quite like them. I’m a woman and I think these Gatorz look great on men and women.

Great quality frame. Lenses leave a little to be desired
I bought these since they were made in the USA, unlike other sunglass brands. The frame has held up white well over the past year, but the lens coating started falling off after the first 3 months. The lenses are fairly scratch resistant, but try to avoid leaving them in your car, as the coating will start flaking off. I wish I could give a full 5 stars, but at this price point, the coating should not flake off the lenses under normal usage. Sadly, I can only recommend these if you have money to throw away. 3.5/5

Great driving shades
Updated my Sky Hook shades to digitally optimized, which has helped immensely with being able to see accessory digital screens in my vehicle. 4th pair of Gatorz, no going back.

Solid!
These glasses do not disappoint. I live a very active outdoor type lifestyle and they work great. They are sturdy and high quality construction. This is my 3rd pair of gatorz and I could not be more satisfied.

Top of the line
After my Delta Patriots, these are my favorite pair of sunglasses. The large lenses help ensure my eyes are shielded from the sun, yet they aren't large enough that they look terrible. They look classy and definitely a must have for everyone!

These are the second pair of glasses I have bought. I love them both. Well made, great lenses, American made! Wouldn't hesitate to buy if you are thinking about it.

Havin' a hard time keepin these gatorz down!
Great sunglasses. They're really high quality, fit great, and love the dark lens. I'd recommend gatorz to anyone looking for a solid pair of sunglasses.

Great sunglasses
Couldn’t ask for more from a pair of sunglasses. Light weight but has already handled the range and Disney World. Very sturdy. Best thing is the nose piece. I tried multiple aviator style glasses that the nose piece broke. Love these.

Skyhook
Quality seems top notch so far. The frame was a bit lopsided out of the box but they adjusted as advertised and are pretty straight now. The adjustability is a great feature and after tweeking to my head shape they fit and stay on my head great. I didn't see the measurements on the website. I think that would be helpful information as the first model I purchased (marauder i think) was a bit narrow for my wide dome.

Hands down the best sunglasses I’ve owned!
I have been burning through Rayban aviators over the past three years, with three pairs destroyed. And they are NOT cheap, even the carbon fiber Raybans took a dive rather quickly. NOT these Gatorz tho! These sunglasses are built to last, yet have comfort and style. And the polarized rose color lenses are much more resistant to scratches than my Raybans, by far! Overall, this pair of Gatorz is the best pair of sunglasses I have ever owned and I already recommended Gatorz to everyone I know! Thanks. Cheers!
