Crafted with lightweight metal frames and adjustable nose pads, the Pioneer sits comfortably through all-day wear. Each pair ships with our signature protective case and cleaning cloth, so you're ready to go the moment you unbox. Whether you're heading to brunch or boarding a flight, the Pioneer is your go-to frame for effortless style and superior eye protection.

Polarized Lens Technology & UV Protection
Our polarized lenses in the Pioneer are engineered to block 100% of UVA and UVB radiation, safeguarding your eyes from sun damage during extended outdoor exposure. The polarization filter eliminates horizontal light waves that create glare off reflective surfaces like windshields, water, and wet roads.
This means sharper contrast, richer colors, and reduced eye strain when you’re driving during golden hour or lounging poolside. The multi-layer coating also resists scratches and smudges, keeping your view crystal-clear mile after mile. If you’re exploring our full polarized sunglasses lineup, you’ll find the same lens quality across every frame we offer.
Frame Design & Fit Details
The Pioneer features a double-bridge aviator silhouette — a design that’s been iconic since the 1930s and continues to flatter modern face shapes. We chose a 58mm lens width to provide generous coverage without overwhelming smaller features, and the 14mm bridge sits comfortably on a wide range of nose profiles.
Our adjustable silicone nose pads let you dial in the perfect position, preventing slippage during workouts or humid summer days. The lightweight metal construction means the Pioneer weighs less than traditional aviators, so you barely feel them after hours of wear. Temple arms measure 140mm and taper gently to sit securely behind your ears without pinching.
Care & Maintenance Tips
To keep your Privé Revaux the Pioneer polarized sunglasses looking sharp, rinse them under lukewarm water after beach or pool days to remove salt and chlorine residue. Use the included microfiber cloth to gently wipe lenses — avoid paper towels or clothing, which can leave micro-scratches over time.
Store your Pioneer in the protective hard case whenever you’re not wearing them, especially in your car or gym bag where they might get jostled. If the nose pads collect oils or makeup, a drop of mild dish soap on a damp cloth will clean them without damaging the silicone. Never leave sunglasses on your dashboard in direct sunlight, as extreme heat can warp frames and degrade lens coatings.

Questions About The Pioneer
Yes, the Pioneer features a 58mm lens width that suits small to medium face shapes beautifully, while the adjustable nose pads let you customize the fit. The aviator silhouette is universally flattering, and customers with oval, heart, square, and round face shapes report excellent results.

The Pioneer is an excellent choice for driving. The polarized lenses eliminate glare from windshields, wet roads, and other cars, improving visibility and reducing eye strain during long trips. The aviator shape provides a wide field of view without obstructing peripheral vision.
Many of our customers tell us the Pioneer has become their dedicated driving pair because of the clarity and comfort on highway commutes.
Gently pinch the metal arms that hold each silicone nose pad, then move them closer together for a tighter fit or farther apart for more breathing room. You can also angle the pads slightly inward or outward to match your nose bridge.
Make small adjustments and test the fit after each tweak. If you're unsure, many optical shops will adjust them for free, or reach out to our customer care team for a quick video tutorial.
Regular tinted lenses reduce overall brightness by darkening your view, but they don't eliminate glare from reflective surfaces like water, snow, or car hoods. Polarized lenses contain a special filter that blocks horizontal light waves responsible for that blinding glare.
The result is sharper contrast, truer colors, and less squinting. For activities near water or while driving, polarization makes a noticeable difference in comfort and safety.
Yes, we build the Pioneer with lightweight yet resilient metal alloy that withstands daily wear, travel, and outdoor adventures. The electroplated finish resists scratches and tarnishing, and the spring hinges add flexibility if you accidentally sit on them.
That said, we recommend storing them in the included hard case when not in use — especially in backpacks or gym bags — to prevent bending. With normal care, the Pioneer frames will serve you reliably for years.
Absolutely. We offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee on all Privé Revaux eyewear. If the Gold/Green, Silver/Smoke, or Rose Gold/Brown finish isn't quite right, contact our team to arrange an exchange for a different colorway or style.
