The Ray-Ban RB3549 sunglasses bring a fresh take on aviator style with a metal double bridge and distinctive flat temples. These aren't your standard thin-wire aviators — the RB3549 features steel-and-rubber over-injected temples that add structure and all-day comfort, a design detail customers notice right away.
Built for Comfort and Durability
The full-rim metal frame pairs a classic pilot shape with modern engineering. Adjustable nose pads let you dial in a secure fit, while the rubberized temple tips prevent slipping during active wear. Available in 58mm and 61mm lens widths, the RB3549 offers a regular fit that works well for medium to large faces — particularly oval, rectangular, heart, and square face shapes.
Ray-Ban equips the RB3549 with polycarbonate lenses that deliver 100% UV protection against UVA, UVB, and UVC rays. Choose from classic green lenses, gradient options (darker at the top, lighter at the bottom for driving and variable light), or polarized lenses that cut glare and enhance visual clarity on the water or road.
Prescription-Ready Aviator Sunglasses
The RB3549 is prescription-ready, so you can add your Rx and skip the clip-ons. The full-rim construction holds lenses securely, and the frame accepts single-vision, progressive, and polarized prescription lenses. Ray-Ban includes a protective case and cleaning cloth with every pair.
The RB3549 sits between the ultra-classic RB3025 Aviator and more modern interpretations — it keeps the teardrop lens shape people recognize but updates the hardware with that double bridge and flat-temple design. If you want aviator DNA with a bit more presence on your face, this is the frame.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Ray-Ban RB3549 sunglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the Ray-Ban RB3549 is fully prescription-ready. The full-rim metal frame accepts single-vision, progressive, bifocal, and polarized prescription lenses. You can add your prescription during checkout and choose from a variety of lens materials and coatings to match your vision needs.
What size face do Ray-Ban 3549 sunglasses fit?
The RB3549 offers a regular fit designed for medium to large face shapes. It's available in 58mm and 61mm lens widths, with adjustable nose pads for a custom fit. The pilot shape works particularly well for oval, rectangular, heart, and square faces.
Do Ray-Ban RB3549 sunglasses have UV protection?
Yes, all Ray-Ban RB3549 lenses provide 100% UV protection, filtering out harmful UVA, UVB, and UVC rays. This protection is built into the lens material itself, not just a coating, ensuring your eyes are shielded from sun damage during outdoor activities.
What's the difference between Ray-Ban 3549 and 3025 Aviator?
The RB3549 features a metal double bridge and flat steel-and-rubber over-injected temples, giving it a sturdier feel than the classic RB3025's thin cylindrical wire temples. The 3549 has a more modern, substantial look while maintaining the iconic aviator teardrop lens shape. Both are prescription-ready and offer similar lens options.
Are Ray-Ban 3549 sunglasses available with polarized lenses?
Yes, the RB3549 is available with polarized lenses that reduce glare and enhance visual clarity. Polarized options include solid colors and gradient polarized lenses, which are especially useful for driving, water sports, and other outdoor activities where reflected light causes eyestrain.
What comes included with Ray-Ban RB3549 sunglasses?
Every pair of authentic Ray-Ban RB3549 sunglasses comes with a protective case, microfiber cleaning cloth, and original Ray-Ban packaging with brand markings. The frames also include adjustable nose pads and are backed by Ray-Ban's manufacturer warranty.

Ray-Ban RB3549 vs Classic Aviators: Which Should You Choose?
If you're shopping for Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses, you're likely weighing the RB3549 against the legendary RB3025 Aviator Large Metal. Both deliver that iconic teardrop pilot shape, but the details matter.
The RB3549 stands out with its metal double bridge and steel-and-rubber over-injected flat temples. These aren't just style choices — the flat temples add structure and grip, making the frame feel more substantial on your face. Customers note the RB3549 feels sturdier than traditional wire aviators, and the rubberized temple tips prevent slipping during active wear. If you want aviator style with a modern edge and enhanced durability, the RB3549 delivers.
The RB3025 Aviator Large Metal is the original — the frame U.S. pilots wore, the one you've seen in films since the 1930s. Its thin cylindrical wire temples create an ultra-lightweight feel, and it offers the widest range of lens and frame colors in the Ray-Ban lineup. The RB3025 is timeless, but those thin temples can bend more easily and lack the grip of the RB3549's rubber-injected design.
For a completely different look, the RB3548N Hexagonal offers flat lenses and a geometric six-sided shape. It's built with similar metal quality but trades the aviator teardrop for angular lines — a strong choice if you want to stand out or need contrast for a round face.
Our take: Choose the RB3549 if you want aviator heritage with upgraded comfort and a more substantial feel. Go with the RB3025 if you prefer the lightest possible frame and the most color options. Consider the RB3548N Hexagonal if you're drawn to modern geometry over classic curves. All three are prescription-ready, offer 100% UV protection, and carry Ray-Ban's quality guarantee.
