Here is my review on the new Sky Optics Amber Polar Lens. The short of it is that it is almost the same as the Serengeti Drivers in nearly all respects, a wonderful photochromic rose-brown. It comes in titanium aviator and navigator styles that are some of the lightest sunglasses with glass lenses I have ever worn.

Here is my review on the Smith ChromaPop Glass Opal Lens. The short of it is that it is a very pleasant rose-brown with a unique mirror that works well year-round. I'm on the fence about whether it's a Tier 1 or 2 lens, but it's borderline.

I made a gallery of all the American Optical lenses I own. This might be useful for people choosing lenses from them. I will make reviews of all these lenses (and more) in the coming weeks/months.

Let me know if you would like to see this kind of thing for other brands as well. Are there any tints you find interesting/surprising here?

Here is my review on the new Serengeti Onyx lens. The short of it is that this replaces the Smoke lens that was sort of redundant next to the 555nm lens, and fills a hole in Serengeti's lens lineup for a dark, bright conditions option. It is a dark grey polarized lens with a subtle mirror, it won't blow you away like the other Serengeti lenses but it does its intended job very well. This was made for people who live in very bright places who have avoided Serengeti until now.

Sky Optics, which is the new house brand of Flight Sunglasses, has just come out with a new navigator (called "Pilot") and an aviator (called "Classic").

They do a lot of work with Serengeti, Randolph, and Maui Jim, and it seems these are the result of taking the best of all three.

The frame designs are reminiscent of Randolph, with bayonet temples. They aren't the exact same, there are noticeable differences, but the styles are there. Unlike Randolph, the frame material is titanium, which Maui Jim uses for a lot of aviators.

The lenses are not far from Serengeti. Glass, fully coated, mildly photochromic. There are differences in the lenses to Serengeti, but not far off.

I have not tried either of these frames yet, but I will soon hopefully. They sent me the lenses to review (and then ship back to them) and I will post a review soon. I have tried the Foil and Aerowire, which are more wrap aviators that pilots like. They might be the lightest glass sunglasses I have ever worn.

Titanium frames with these classic designs and top-quality lenses is a solid offering. Curious what other people will say when the reviews start coming in.
