SKY lenses are Method Seven’s flagship pilot lenses, crafted from premium German glass with advanced notch filtering. These lenses incorporate eleven rare earth elements, including neodymium, molecularly bonded within a crystalline structure. Thirteen proprietary coatings block harmful UV rays and infrared heat, ensuring unparalleled color and clarity. For top-notch performance, nothing beats mineral glass for clarity and scratch resistance, and SKY lenses excel in light filtering tailored specifically for pilots' needs.

Crafted with precision across the globe: cast in Germany, polished in Italy, chemically hardened in China, thin-film coated, and set in titanium frames in Japan. Then, shipped to California for quality control before arriving at your hangar. The most complex and unique lens, exclusively for the complex conditions experienced by pilots.

VLT measures the average light passing through a lens. The lower the number, the less light gets through (darker). Since it's an average, not all VLT 9 lenses are the same. 9 is so dark it's reserved for glacier goggles. But with M7 notch filtering, our SKY 9 lens lets the light you need for instruments and ipads come through, while extremely darkening the peak energy of the sun. We designed this lens for a commercial pilot who flew west, chasing the sunset, and also needed to look at instruments without taking off his glasses. It worked. Nine is great for super bright conditions, very sensitive eyes or very young eyes. (older eyes need more light; stick with a VLT of 18 or more. Over 65, or working in dark cockpits, try the VLT 30).

The classic aviator—elevated. The Ascent is crafted from aerospace-grade titanium, offering unmatched strength-to-weight ratio and durability. Bayonet temples taper down to less than 1.00 mm, ensuring comfort and compatibility with headsets and flight helmets when properly fitted. This lightweight aviator is designed to minimize audio interruptions and never impede the use of oxygen equipment.

Our titanium frames are hand-tooled by expert craftsmen, ensuring durability for everyday use and flexibility to conform to your head's shape. Titanium is naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to corrosion, making these frames a great investment in essential flight gear that will last for years to come.
