I don't know if these are the same aviators I got last year. They &#34;look&#34; the same, but are noticeably more flimsy and easily bent when put in my pockets, when my old ones never did. I'm giving them three stars because they are better than gas station sunglasses, but they are the last ray-bans I will buy as the price/value ratio is a bit skewed in favor of Ray-Ban.
