This video looks at some of the best sunglasses made in America comparing the different models, frames, and lenses of Gatorz sunglasses. We compare the Magnum, Wraptor, Boxster, and Delta in different finishes and lens types including polarized and ANSI Z87 photochromic lenses.

thanks!
Don't care where items are made love oakley... they last..!!!!
Good selection on different but attractive eyewear
great to see a new video...and great bag!
i just ordered a wild and free messenger bag..decent leather..very thick.. now im just watching a bunch of bag videos ;-)
Im saving to buy my first pair of gatorz from their american website, they look cool and have great reviews, my days of buying cheap plastic sunglasses are over. 💚💚👍👍
Nice review - a few other US made sunglasses - AO Optical (similar to Randolph), Ocean Waves (FL), State Optical (Chicago - but more a fashion style), and Maui Jim (US based for now, but they were just acquired by an Italian company - thankfully not luxottica - who own Oakley, Ray Ban,...). Of these, Ocean Waves has similar styles to Gatorz, but not as sturdy for frames. I also like to support US companies and own AO, Maui J's, and Ocean Waves - all nice products if they meet your needs. Thinking about Gatorz, but I'd prefer a Trivex lens to their polycarbonate.
The bayonet temples are meant to be used with hgu military flight helmets or headphones.
Hello! The Magnum Milspec Ballistic are polarized lenss or not?
This was super helpful.
Just the two models I was looking for, thank you! 🙂
Was the bronze discontinued? Can’t find them anywhere.
The copper color (on the bottom of the thumbnail) does seem to be discontinued. If you contact them, they may be able to find a pair in storage for you.
Dick doesn't mean good you can have something that's thick and it's useless just as weight and then you have a critical point where it will depend will determine its longevity and could be thin and you don't know that so you think oh is Bill well because they have African have ton walk on it when that's the strongest part of the whole bag but isn't carry anything
No the biggest skin is there for feel. Because they use thick cheap Chrome 10 leather which is gross on the inside.
Did u get the Specter? Time for a new vid adding Specter lol.
They look good. I’ve got a pair of Randolph Engineering glasses that serve as the go-to aviators.
Leuphold is now making usa made sunglasses
Oakley sunglasses are a joke, overpriced plastic crap. China crap no less.
Can you get them with prescription lenses?
Yes, I’ve seen them with prescription lenses. They had an option on the site last time I checked.
All GATORZ eyewear are literally garbage. Do not buy into the bullshit LIES.. The lenses scratched month after I received them and I need a ball cap when wearing them and they do not block the sun light from bothering my eye's.. Fucking garbage. 0 star 👎
What would say that would come close to the Gascan shape and style? Thank you!
The boxters. Same exact frame width and only 1mm larger frame height
Aviator or Concorde best frame?
It’s a tough call. The Aviators may win just because they’re classy, go with formal or casual wear, and still look modern and youthful. The Concordes do all of the above sans the modernity. It may come down to your face. Aviators will better complement a narrower face, while Concordes may look too bulbous on a narrow face.
@@allamericanreview One more question: Which frame gives the best coverage from the sun?
@@ghatzidakis Concordes definitely provide more coverage.
What’s your opinion on American Optical? They are also made in USA. And they are made just a tad smaller than RE. Curious to see which would you would prefer.
I actually first looked into them. But their website looked broken, and prices were too low for me to believe they’re quality lenses.
@@allamericanreview or maybe they don’t have an astronomical profit margin and price markup? Cheers
Thank you for promoting made in America!
Do you know if the polarized and the non polarized look the same from the outside (is there a visual difference)? I once had polarized glasses, through which you could see the eyes very clearly from the outside, which I didn’t like at all.
That’s a good question. While I haven’t tested that directly, you could either ask customer service, or order the same glasses in both a polarized and non-polarized version to find out and return the pair that is more translucent. The pairs I have are polarized and are the right amount of opaque from the outside that don’t weirdly show your eyes.
Goodbye Oakley, hello Gatorz
Nice comparison.. you've got yourself a good little helper too 💪
Thank you. Glad you liked it.
Just got one in gunmetal with grey lenses with subtle blue mirror tint (very subtle but looks better than traditional grey)... REs are built to last...the fit and finish is top notch... optical clarity is amazing...blocks light much better than my ray ban aviators... really worth the upgrade... plus made in the US
those two back D ring does not suppose to at the bottom. Marlondo is doing the correct way
400 dollars!!! There are more expensive that Oakley
No, $240 MSRP
I ordered and just got the Marlondo wing briefcase in the 16" and I love it! Mines chrome tanned in dark brown. I noticed yours was "softer" than mine,is it veg tanned? Does that make a difference in how it breaks in? Either way, I love the ruggedness, the weight and how its built. I noticed the strap hooks rub on the flap of the briefcase, have you had issues with that on yours? Great video by the way, I would like to see a follow up on your Marlondo in 2021!
Hey, thank you. The Marlondo in the video is chrome tanned leather. Veg tan leather patinas more readily and generally has better qualities, while chrome tan leather has what’s called pull-up as it ages. That’s where the dyes/oils are pushed out of stressed areas leaving a nice marbling effect. Either way, full-grain leather ages beautifully. I had more of an issue with swivel clasps rubbing my thigh on this bag. I actually now carry a Double Rivet Leather bag that addresses those minor issues with some other briefcases. More on that later.
I have alot of saddleback leather products. I can't break them in even when I carry them. I like the broken in look, but can't seem to break them in.
i bought a matte black Aviators but I'm not sure if they are authentic since i bought them from a third party who told me that he bought it from Randolph website and i have a Concorde pair too but i feel that the Concorde feels much high quality than the Aviators or maybe i bought a fake Randolph Aviators how can i know if the Aviators are original ?
You can always give their customer service a call. They’re extremely helpful.
Yo you see their new Stark model?? So cool.
Yes. They look good. Is that a piece of carbon fiber in the corner?
@@allamericanreview I don't think so, looks like textured fluted aluminum. Carbon fibre would make them really fragile
Hi All American Reviewer- I have a pair of Magnum OPz (the partially polarized lenses) and they're great. How's the anti-fog coating on the Magnum Z's? I ordered a standard smoked pair, not the photochromic, but according to the specs they both have the coating. I ordered those to help mitigate the fog coming up from mandatory face coverings as no sprays I've tried have worked on my Magnum OPz, much less any other glasses I have.
Hi, it's noticeably better than on a pair of Oakleys I have. I never would've noticed if it weren't for wearing a mask all the time.
@@allamericanreview That's good news! I hope the anti-fog coating lasts, at least until we're through the pandemic and mask wearing. Thanks so much for the great reviews. I'm watching your Randolph review now. I've had several pairs over the years of the Sportsman model and you've sold me on the classic Aviators.
@@wwolf5670 Randolph Aviators are a nice, balanced design. Although I think I prefer the Concordes.
Well the Anti fog lens Magnums came in today. They definitely reduce 85-90% of mask induced fogging !
W Wolf Very nice! What color combo did you get?
On the market for Gatorz as well! So many guys in my squadron rock them.
Here's my comprehensive look at Gatorz options ua-cam.com/video/_vxqPNY6Txc/v-deo.html
Have two pairs, Aviator and Yeagors love them.
Thank you for the history and current affairs lesson! Very interesting. I want a pair of these glasses now too. Is it the same Gatorz that makes the face coverings?
Good job, little buddy too!
Love this! Thank you for the complete and thorough breakdown. Very detailed and observant!
Are the Deltas wide frame?
alvin catanghal They aren’t any wider than the other frames. But since all Gatorz frames are aluminum, you can bend them to fit wider or narrower heads/faces.
If your familiar with Oakleys Racejackeys. I wonder if these are as wide as them.
Race jackets
alvin catanghal I’m not familiar with those Oakley’s. I’ve been avoiding Oakley‘s since they were taken over and are no longer made in America. Boxers have the largest lenses from the Gatorz lineup. You should get a pair of those and bend to fit if needed. Gatorz has a UA-cam video on bending frames to fit on their channel.
Bought my very first pair of Magnums back in 2006-07. About a year ago the frame cracked in the lower corner by the screw hole. Now, these glasses had long-lived past their useful life in my opinion, not that I had abused them, because I had not. Gatorz sent me a brand new pair to replace them!! I now own three different pairs. Before that, I owned all the plastic garbage, overpriced junk glasses that are popular. Gatorz are the best damn glasses I've ever owned, and the best fitting.
That’s great customer service.
Similar for me too. I'd had various crappy sunglasses before buying Oakley's, which I lost. Replaced them with Gatorz in about 2008. Still used them until 2021, despite the lenses having multiple cracks by then. The frame was still in great condition. I enquired about new lenses, but my model was obsolete. Gatorz agreed to replace them with a new pair! Amazing service.
How does he not know Molle?
Just received my Delta’s, and I must say they are the most well made and best fitting sunglasses I have ever owned.
Jared Corbin Deltas are very popular right now.
Are they about the same size as the Oakley holbrooks with just better quality?
Excellent 👍 I have the magnums blackout with polarized lenses love them
Did they come with a matte black Cerakoate-looking finish on the frames, or a shinier brushed metal look?
@@allamericanreview matte black as far as I can tell
Wow I am surprised you did not know about Gatorz. Besides Gatorz are used by the US NAVY Seal team and law enforcement. Also why get a cheap plastic Oakley when you can get an Aluminum frame. I am not even American, but I got to know about this brand by accident in 2019.
Will you do some more reviews?
onenessbaycity Yes! I’ve got a couple videos filmed that just need to be touched up and uploaded.
I just received my marlondo wing briefcase. I love it but its stiff. I hope it breaks in soon. I cant put in my 15 inch laptop in yet since the sides are still too stiff.
When I see a ThinkPad, I know someone already has an attitude of "I want stuff that lasts" ;-)
hell yes
Man.. You need to get in the know about The Leather Shop Business 2. No bag compares go it. Simply gorgeous. American made and owned.
