Ray Ban Olympian I



The Ray Ban Olympian I is one of the first "wrap around" style sunglasses ever made and was designed in the early 60s. The metal frame has an aggressive stance and gives the side protection missing in other sunglasses of it's time. Peter Fonda wore a pair of these in the movie "Easy Rider" and helped to establish this style in the counter culture.
