Comparing and Identifying the Ray-ban and Outdoorsman Sunglasses

Ray-Ban and Outdoorsman are two of the best-known brands for sunglasses. Ray-Ban has been around since 1937, while Outdoorsman was created in 1999. It is a division of Luxottica Group S.P.A. which also owns other well-known eyewear brands such as Oakley, Burberry, Prada, and Versace, to name just a few. This article will compare Ray-Bans with Outdoorsman from an aesthetic standpoint and discuss some of their differences in price points and features to help you decide which brand and style might be right for you! 

Ray-Ban Aviator RB3025

The legendary Ray-Ban Aviator sunglasses, which were initially intended for U.S. Aviator pilots and are now the best-selling sunglasses featured in several films and television shows, are well-known.

The RB3025 is now available in three lens sizes: 55mm (small/medium), 58mm (medium/large), and 62mm (large, XL), as well as a variety of color combinations (including a Limited Edition in pure gold) and a folding frame type. In addition, the model comes with or without Polarized lenses, as do many Ray-Bans. Polarized lenses are identified by the P next to the Ray-Ban emblem on the right lens (prescription sunglasses don't usually feature a Ray-Ban logo or P).

Difference Between the RB3025 and RB3026

The RB3026 Aviator II is the same as the RB3025, except the RB3026 is only available in a few colors and with a big 62mm lens. As previously stated, the RB3025 is available in various lens sizes, including 55mm, 58mm, and 62mm, as well as a variety of colors that the RB3026 does not.

Difference Between the Ray-Ban Aviator and Ray-Ban Outdoorsman

The Outdoorsman sunglasses are based on the iconic Aviator pilot sunglasses, but they have an additional "brow bar," also known as a "sweat bar." They created the acetate brow bar to prevent sweat and debris from interfering with a pilot's vision. 

Ray-Ban Outdoorsman II RB3029 and Outdoorsman RB3030

The difference between the Outdoorsman II RB3029 and the Outdoorsman RB3030 is simple: the Ray-Ban Outdoorsman RB3030 has rounded temples, sometimes known as "cable temples," which help keep the sunglasses firmly in place behind your ear, and the Outdoorsman II RB3029 has straighter arms. In addition, the RB3030 sports a 58mm lens against the RB3029's 62mm lens.

Ray-Ban Outdoorsman II Rainbow RB3407

The "Rainbow" version of the Outdoorsman II has "an extra touch of nostalgia," according to Ray-Ban. The Outdoorsman II Rainbow allows you to wear one of the most recognizable sunglasses while still standing out." It's a smaller version of the Outdoorsman that comes in two sizes (55mm or 58mm, while the RB3029 has 62mm lenses). 

Ray-Ban Outdoorsman II Craft RB3422Q

The Ray-Ban Outdoorsman II Craft RB3422Q is the last version of the Outdoorsman. The brow bar (sweat bar) and temple pads (ends of the arms) are made of genuine, hand-stitched deer leather, distinguishing this model from the other Outdoorsman versions. Unfortunately, only the medium size 58 is available (58mm lenses). 

Ray-Ban Shooter RB3138

The Shooter model has an acetate brow bar or sweat bar, like the Outdoorsman model, but it also includes a little circle below the brow bar. In addition, the 58mm lenses are closer together than those found on other Aviators or Outdoorsman sunglasses.

Some think it aids in shooting or hunting. However, Ray-Ban describes it as an "aviation-inspired element, a vanity bullet hole in the center of the frame." The temples of the Shooter glasses are unusually narrow, allowing for a wider field of vision.

Johnny Depp made these spectacles famous by wearing them in the film Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Hunter S Thompson, on whom the character was based, wore Shooter glasses frequently.
