I recently broke my Ray Ban aviators after 12 years and bought a new, slightly trendier pair (£70 in Jersey). I don't have any problem with glare around the smaller lenses. However, it did take two attempts to get a pair with arms flat enough to my head and thin enough not to cause discomfort when wearing a headset. Many of the wraparound styles seem to have quite thick and flared arms which reduce noise attentuation and also put pressure where the points touch my head behind my ears.

Of course it could be I've got an odd-shaped head!!

I do find Ray Ban lenses offer very good contrast against clouds and also better haze-penetration on the murkier days.
