Silver or Gold Unisex Frames with Bold Colour Lens Options

The Bob Aviator brings classic unisex polarised sunglasses with full revo mirror lenses, giving these shades a bold reflective finish that pairs well with the bright New Zealand sun. Silver frames come standard, with the red mirror lens option finished in gold for that bit of extra warmth.

Aviator frames have stayed a steady favourite across generations because they suit most face shapes and pair easily with casual or smart outfits. The revo mirror lenses lift the design well above your standard aviator, catching the light and reflecting back colour for real visual impact.

Fitted with Category 3 polarised lenses, this eyewear cuts glare off water, glass, and snow, making it an easy pick for driving, fishing, the beach, or anywhere outdoors when the sun gets serious. Sharper colour, less squinting, proper protection.

Polarised Lenses

New Zealand sun is some of the most intense in the world, and standard tinted lenses only solve part of the problem. They darken the view but leave the glare. iPOP polarised lenses have a built-in glare-filtering layer that targets the specific type of light that causes the problem in the first place.

How polarised lenses work

Glare happens when sunlight bounces off a flat surface, water, wet roads, a car bonnet and hits your eyes as a concentrated horizontal beam. Your eyes struggle to process it, so you squint, strain, and lose visual detail in the process. Polarised lenses block that horizontal light before it reaches your eyes, so surfaces become readable again rather than a wall of reflected brightness. On a typical New Zealand summer day, the difference is noticeable within minutes of putting them on.

Where it makes a real difference

Driving Cuts glare off wet roads and oncoming windscreens so you're not squinting into the morning sun

Fishing and water See below the surface instead of staring at a mirror of reflected sky

Beach and outdoors Reduces the all-day eye fatigue that builds up when everything around you is reflecting light

Sport and activity Sharper contrast and truer colours so you can read terrain, track movement and react faster
