Description
Weight is the enemy of wearability. Titanium is the solution.
The Aerolite frame weighs less than a sheet of paper — 22 grams of aerospace-grade titanium alloy that disappears on your face within minutes of putting them on. For anyone who has ever removed their sunglasses after a long drive and felt the relief of pressure lifting from their nose bridge, the engineering story here is simple: less mass means less fatigue, and less fatigue means you actually wear them instead of leaving them in the car.
The polarized lenses are the second half of the equation. They cut glare at the molecular level — horizontal reflected light is blocked while vertical light passes through, giving you the contrast and depth perception that non-polarized lenses flatten into a haze. Driving into a low winter sun. Reading water surface while fishing. Navigating the reflected glare off wet asphalt after a summer storm. The Aerolite handles all of it without the color distortion that cheap polarized films introduce.
Great eyewear earns its place on your face, not in your glovebox.

Where It Belongs
The Aerolite is the daily driver for anyone whose eyes are their primary instrument. Drivers who log hours facing low-angle sun and wet-road glare. Anglers who need to read water surface without the shimmer that hides fish. Runners and cyclists who notice every gram on their face after mile three. Outdoor professionals — surveyors, construction managers, event staff — who wear sunglasses for 8+ hour shifts and cannot afford the fatigue that heavy frames produce. The Aerolite solves weight and glare in equal measure, making it the pair you reach for without thinking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the polarized and photochromic versions?
A: Polarized lenses are always tinted and actively block glare — ideal for driving, fishing, and bright outdoor conditions. Photochromic lenses transition from clear to dark based on UV exposure — ideal for cycling, running, and variable-light conditions where you do not want to swap glasses. Choose polarized if glare reduction is your priority; choose photochromic if light-adaptation convenience is your priority.
Q: Can I get these with prescription lenses?
A: The Aerolite frame is not designed for prescription lens inserts or direct Rx lens mounting. If you need corrective lenses, we recommend contact lenses worn underneath, or consulting your optometrist about titanium-frame prescription sunglasses.
Q: How durable is the titanium frame in real-world use?
A: Titanium is more flexible and impact-resistant than standard metal alloys or acetate. The temples can be bent significantly and will return to shape (memory metal property). For accidental drops onto concrete, the frame may scratch but is unlikely to snap. For sitting on them in a back pocket — no frame survives that.
Q: Will the polarization interfere with reading my phone screen or car dashboard?
A: Polarized lenses can create a rainbow or darkening effect on LCD screens — this is a property of the screen technology, not a lens defect. Most modern smartphones remain readable in landscape orientation. Some car HUDs and older dashboard LCDs may appear dimmed. Tilt your head slightly or rotate the device if you encounter interference.
Q: Do they come with a case and cleaning cloth?
A: Standard packaging includes a hard case and microfiber cleaning cloth. Use the cloth (not a shirt or paper towel) to clean the lenses — dry-wiping with abrasive materials will create micro-scratches over time.
Q: Do the titanium temples loosen over time?
A: Titanium memory metal maintains its spring tension far longer than standard metal alloys. In accelerated wear testing (10,000 open/close cycles — equivalent to ~5 years of daily use), the temple tension remained within 95% of factory spec. If temples ever feel loose, a gentle inward bend (titanium flexibility) restores grip — no tools needed.
Q: What is the warranty on these sunglasses?
A: Standard warranty covers manufacturing defects for 90 days from delivery. This includes frame breakage at weld points (not from impact), lens delamination, and finish defects present on arrival. Scratches from normal use, loss, and accidental damage (sat on, dropped, run over) are not covered.
