So, um, does Flying Eyes have competition?

Not in their price bracket

If you forget them, we’re back to Victoria’s Secret…running around in underwear and socks.

I think that's a mooney.

So, cheaper? I need to pick up something.

About 2 bills seems to be the current price point the public is willing to bear for sunglasses.

Oakley Holbrooks, Randolph, Ray Ban aviators all hover around the same price as Flying Eyes.

I’ve been an Oakley and Randolph user for a long time because that’s what was issued to me while active duty. I now have a hard time justifying the prices, but I tend to keep a pair for a long time and with the Oakleys I can at least replace lenses for about $70.

They haven't been marketing so much to aviators in several years, but Scheyden Precision Eyewear still makes great stuff. I recommend the bronze lenses, they do an amazing job of making white Cessnas pop out of an overcast background.

Full disclosure: They did sponsor the Pilotcast back in the day (I was almost as cool as @SixPapaCharlie once), but I am not receiving any compensation for saying this today. I really do like their product.
