description Randolph Sportsman Overview
The Randolph Sportsman is a model of sunglasses produced by Randolph Engineering, an American manufacturer known for supplying eyewear to the United States military. Featuring a classic aviator silhouette, the frames are handcrafted in Massachusetts using high-quality metal. The Sportsman model is distinguished by its slightly more curved temple pieces compared to standard aviators, designed to contour to the head for a secure fit during movement. They are equipped with impact-resistant glass or polycarbonate lenses offering UV protection.
help Randolph Sportsman FAQ
Are Randolph Sportsman sunglasses made in the United States?
Randolph says its sunglasses are designed and handcrafted in the United States from U.S. and global components. The Sportsman uses the company's metal-frame construction rather than a polycarbonate aviator frame.
Is the Randolph Sportsman the same frame as the Military Aviator?
No. The Sportsman is a brow-bar variation with its own styling, while Randolph's Military Aviator is the model explicitly tied to military specifications and U.S. military supply history.
What lenses are offered in modern Randolph Sportsman models?
Lens choices depend on the edition, with modern collaborations offering options such as ZEISS LightPro nylon lenses with UV and anti-reflective treatments. Older Sportsman frames may have entirely different glass or prescription lenses.
Can Randolph Sportsman sunglasses be fitted with prescription lenses?
Many metal Randolph frames can be reglazed by an optician, but compatibility depends on the exact Sportsman edition and prescription. A vintage frame should be inspected before new lenses are installed because its bridge, screws, and temples may have aged.
