General Aviator Sunglasses
AO’s more classic tear-drop aviator, framed as the military-pilot standard bearer.
Story & heritage
AO calls the General the quintessential aviator from the company that originated the style, trusted by U.S. military pilots for more than 50 years. The product page positions it as an aviator engineered to rigid military specifications.
Compared with the Original Pilot, General leans into the familiar drop-lens aviator language: more sweeping, more cinematic, but still tied to AO’s performance heritage.
Materials & craft
The official page lists SkyMaster™ glass and AOLite™ nylon lens options, non-polarized or polarized choices, M/L and L/XL sizing, and Made in the USA construction from premium global components.
How to choose & style
Use the General when you want the most recognizable aviator line in the AO family. Green lenses keep it military-classic; brown lenses soften it with denim, leather and summer tailoring.
