American Optical Original Pilot Sunglasses are the U.S. Armed Forces' best-kept secret - and they're now available directly to you! These performance-tested sunglasses have been issued to millions of US soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen since 1958. Engineered to exacting military specs, the AO Original Pilot Sunglasses have been a favorite of U.S. Military pilots for over four decades. Now these time-tested sunglasses are available to you as part of the American Optical Flight Gear series of sunglasses. The rugged and sturdy structure and high quality finishing of the steel alloy frame, coupled with distortion-free, toughened and polished True Color glass lenses have made the AO Original Pilot Sunglasses the standard bearer of all fine military sunglasses.

In 1958, American Optical developed the Flight Goggle 58, now the basis of the American Optical Original Pilot (or OPS) series of sunglasses, for the U.S. Air Force. More than 45 years have passed and the AO Original Pilot Sunglasses remain the top preference of pilots due to its maximum protection, optical performance and comfort. In fact, the American Optical Flight Gear Original Pilot Sunglass were honored to be the first ever sunglasses to be brought to the moon with the crew of the Eagle lunar landing in 1969. They were subsequently featured in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.
