Ray-Ban Aviator Sunglasses

The iconic aviator sunglasses were first developed in 1936 for US Air Force Pilots to protect their eyes whilst flying by Ray-Ban. The brand has gone from strength to strength since, and with films such as Top Gun popularising the classic pair of shades, they are now a style essential. You may not get the opportunity to show them off in the winter months, but the sun has to come back some day and these shades will be a summer necessity.

With an ultra-light chassis, it is the thinnest and lightest full sized tablet in the world and is far more powerful than its predecessor. It truly is the tablet of tablets.
