The Ray-Ban Cockpit RB3362 sunglasses bring the iconic aviator style into a more wearable, contemporary form. Born from the legendary RB3025 Aviator that's defined pilot sunglasses since 1937, the Cockpit reimagines that classic with a smaller, less pronounced teardrop lens that fits a wider range of faces—especially if you've ever found traditional aviators too large or touching your cheeks.
Designed for Real Faces
The Cockpit's shallower lens profile solves a common problem with full-size aviators: cheek contact. The softer teardrop shape sits higher on the face, making these sunglasses an excellent choice for anyone with prominent cheekbones or a fuller face. Adjustable nose pads let you fine-tune the fit, while the lightweight laser-cut metal frame and acetate temple tips deliver all-day comfort without pressure points. Available in 56mm and 59mm lens widths with a 14mm bridge and 135mm temples, the Cockpit works across most face shapes—oval, square, and round faces all benefit from the pilot silhouette.
Built Like an Aviator Should Be
The full-rim stainless steel construction keeps the frame thin and durable. You'll notice the signature double bridge—slightly curved rather than straight like the classic Aviator—which adds a subtle modern edge. The frame accepts both glass and polycarbonate lenses, and many variants include 100% UV protection with options for polarized lenses, gradient tints, and mirror coatings in colors like cyclamen pink and blue. All lenses are scratch-resistant and feature a base 6 curve for optical clarity.
These sunglasses are prescription-ready, so you can add your Rx through most optical labs. The frame's full-rim design and adjustable pads make it compatible with single-vision and progressive lenses alike.
What Owners Say
"The larger aviators would have been way too big and hit me in my cheeks—these fall exactly where they should." — Zappos reviewer
The Cockpit arrives with a Ray-Ban case and cleaning cloth. It's a solid choice if you want aviator style without the bulk—a pair that works whether you're driving, at the beach, or just need reliable sun protection that doesn't slide down your nose.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Ray-Ban Cockpit 3362 sunglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the Ray-Ban Cockpit RB3362 is fully prescription-ready. The full-rim metal frame and adjustable nose pads accommodate single-vision, bifocal, and progressive prescription lenses. You can order prescription lenses through most optical retailers, and Ray-Ban Authentic prescription lenses will include the signature logo etched on the lens.
What's the difference between the Cockpit RB3362 and the classic Aviator RB3025?
The Cockpit RB3362 features a smaller, shallower lens that's less pronounced than the classic Aviator's dramatic teardrop shape. The Cockpit comes in 56mm and 59mm lens sizes, while the Aviator offers 55mm, 58mm, and 62mm. The Cockpit's double bridge has a slight downward curve versus the Aviator's straight bar, and the overall design is better suited for smaller faces or those with prominent cheekbones.
Will the Cockpit sunglasses touch my cheeks when I smile?
The Cockpit RB3362 is specifically designed with a shallower lens to prevent cheek contact—a common issue with larger aviators. The less dominant teardrop shape sits higher on the face, making it an excellent option for people with prominent cheekbones or fuller cheeks. Adjustable nose pads also help you customize the fit to keep the frames off your face.
Do Ray-Ban Cockpit sunglasses have UV protection?
Yes, all Ray-Ban Cockpit RB3362 sunglasses include 100% UVA and UVB protection with a UV400 filter. The lenses block harmful ultraviolet rays while maintaining optical clarity. Some variants also offer polarized lenses for additional glare reduction, and all lenses are scratch-resistant.
What size should I choose: 56mm or 59mm?
The lens size refers to the width of one lens in millimeters. The 56mm is considered a medium fit and works well for smaller to average faces, while the 59mm is a large fit suited for average to larger faces. Both sizes share the same 14mm bridge width and 135mm temple length. If traditional aviators feel too big on you, start with the 56mm.
Are the Cockpit frames durable enough for daily wear?
Yes, the Cockpit RB3362 features a lightweight but durable laser-cut metal frame made from stainless steel. The full-rim construction provides structural integrity, and the adjustable nose pads and acetate temple tips are built to withstand regular use. However, the thin metal frame requires proper storage in a case to prevent bending—it's lighter and more delicate than plastic frames.

Ray-Ban Cockpit 3362 vs. Aviator 3025: Which Aviator Is Right for You?
The Ray-Ban Cockpit RB3362 and the classic Aviator RB3025 share the same DNA—both are pilot-style sunglasses with double bridges and teardrop lenses. But the Cockpit modernizes the formula with a smaller, shallower lens that solves the fit issues many people experience with full-size aviators.
Size and Fit: The Aviator RB3025 comes in 55mm, 58mm, and 62mm lens widths with a pronounced teardrop shape that extends lower on the face. The Cockpit offers 56mm and 59mm sizes with a softer, less dramatic teardrop that sits higher and prevents cheek contact. If traditional aviators touch your cheeks when you smile or feel too large, the Cockpit is the better choice. The Cockpit's slightly curved double bridge also gives it a more contemporary look versus the Aviator's straight bar.
Style: The RB3025 is the iconic aviator—the one you picture when someone says "aviator sunglasses." It's bold, recognizable, and works beautifully on larger faces or anyone who wants maximum coverage. The Cockpit trades some of that drama for versatility, fitting a wider range of face shapes (especially those with prominent cheekbones) while still delivering unmistakable aviator style.
Our Take: Choose the Cockpit RB3362 if you want aviator style without the bulk, have a smaller or average-sized face, or need sunglasses that won't touch your cheeks. It's the modern, wearable aviator. Go with the Aviator RB3025 if you prefer the classic teardrop silhouette, have a larger face, or want the most iconic Ray-Ban design ever made.
Cockpit 3362 vs. Aviator Small Metal 3044
Both the Cockpit and the Small Metal RB3044 address the "aviators are too big" problem, but they take different approaches. The RB3044 shrinks the classic aviator down to 52mm, making it ideal for very small faces. The Cockpit, at 56mm and 59mm, offers a middle ground—smaller than the full-size Aviator but still substantial enough for average faces. The Cockpit also features a more modern lens shape and a wider variety of contemporary lens colors (mirror blue, cyclamen pink, gradient options), while the RB3044 sticks closer to traditional aviator styling. If you're between sizes, the Cockpit's 56mm is likely the sweet spot for most people seeking a smaller aviator.
