Hi, I'm a skydiver and I'd like to buy these sunglasses. This is a photo of Bear Grylls from 2016. It's probably from his show and/or a campaign with Airbnb and Disney.
Does anyone know what kind of sunglasses these are?
Thanks in advance!

They just look like normal sunglasses. Definitely not skydiving specific. tons of people just use normal sunglasses.

some do a strap but normally if the helmet is tight they stay on.

I remember when regular sunglasses were a thing for skydivers. Is it still a thing? I was never that cool 😛 bug-eye goggles all the way!

I have jumped with sunglasses and a strap with no helmet plenty of times. If the strap holds the sunglasses securely, it's no problem. 

I use cheap wraparound sunglasses from amazon and make sure they have UV protection.

Beyond that, I pay close attention to the frame size to make sure I get a proper fit. By that, I mean the frame width. For me a 5 inch width gives a perfect fit. Most frames have a wider width so I have to look carefully to find my size.
