Randolph Eyewear makes the best quality sunglasses around. They make the classic aviator look, but Randolph also makes other popular frame shapes. The P3 for example is a very popular look that fits in well with today's fashion. The Sportsman sunglasses, as pictured above, are traditional looking men's outdoor frames. Randolph has a timeless design for everyone, whether you just like the original aviator style, or whether you want to be a little more fashion savy.

`-Gentlemen's Gazette
A couple of months ago, we tested a pair of sunglasses by Randolph Eyewear, the Massachusetts-based manufacturer of shooting eyewear and sunglasses.
Now, after testing the glasses in the mountains of Colorado, everyday use at home, as well as in the sun of Arizona, we want to present you the Sportsman sunglasses from Randolph Eyewear. First, we will take a glimpse at the history of this company, then describe and analyze the sunglasses before we provide you with our conclusion
Find The Right frame In The Correct Size
This means you can pick between one out of nine basic frame styles. Once you determined what look is best for you, it is time to pick one of the numerous sizes. ). Not all heads are created equal, and so the Sportsman frame is available in 3 different sizes: 52mm (small), 57mm (medium), 61mm (large). In order to determine the right size, you have to measure your face in front of a mirror with a ruler from temple to temple. With that measurement, RE will be able to tell you what frames you need. Alternatively, you can visit your optometrist.
Afterwards, it is time to pick a frame color. I decided on gold but I could have gotten matte black, matte chrome, bright chrome or gun metal instead.
Temples & Polarized Lenses
Depending on the length of your head, you can now choose between 4 different temple lengths and 3 temple designs. I preferred the classic skull temples over the cable or bayonet style.
Last but not least, you have to settle on some lenses. While you can choose between 8 lenses, including mineral glass lenses, polycarbonate lenses etc. However, I strongly recommend you pick between either the grey or tan polarized lenses because these noticeably reduce glare from reflective surfaces such as snow or water, and hence provide better vision. Polarization basically means that the lens filters horizontal polarized light waves which are hard on the human eye. Think of it as tiny blinds that filter unpleasant light but nothing else.
We decided to go with the polarized lenses in tan and they are truly magnificent. The colors are vivid and the lack of glare is amazing which became especially visible when I switched my sunglasses and compared them to other ones- including another famous aviator brand. Even compared to other polarized sunglasses I preferred the Sportsman. The nose pads are made of soft silicone and my glasses did not move around on my nose, even during a warm hike in an Sedona, Arizona canyon.
While I have to admit that I do not find most of their frame styles to be particularly appealing to my tastes, I can wholeheartedly recommend their Sportsman model. While the price is not low, a customized, made-to-order pair of sunglasses with a lifetime frame warranty stands up as a real value against typically high competitor prices and fleeting designer styles. In case you are on the hunt for a pair of high quality, classic aviators, you should look no further than the Randolph Engineering Sportsman. It is a timeless model sure to last in an increasingly disposable market.
