ALTITUDE SKY30

Pilot Sunglasses

$245.00

Description plus minus

The world leader in visual performance, SKY mineral glass lenses define the pinnacle of contrast and clarity. The SKY30™ has a VLT of 30%, allowing these pilot sunglasses to let in plenty of light while protecting against damaging UV and IR.

Lens Technology

Method Seven’s lens technology delivers cutting-edge non-polarized glare reduction, allowing for clear, unrestricted vision without the drawbacks of polarized lenses. Using advanced notch filtering technology, Method Seven sets a new standard for optical performance and protection. Notch filtering allows for enhanced color accuracy, contrast, and clarity, providing a sharp and vibrant visual experience. Method Seven lenses provide complete UV protection and are designed to maintain clarity without distorting electronic displays or aircraft windows.

SKY Lens Technology plus minus

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.

30% Visible Light Transmission plus minus

VLT measures the average light passing through a lens. The lower the number, the less light gets through (darker). Average lenses are 18% VLT, so our SKY 30 is an outlier and very light. A 30% VLT from any other company would do almost nothing for you. But we have notch filtering using rare earth elements, and we can selectively block lots of peak sun energy at 590NM while not blocking most available light. The result is lots of good, comfortable light, which is ideal for darker cockpits or, honestly, older eyes. The SKY 30 is our CEO's favorite lens because it's such an optical marvel. He's also pushing 60.

Frame Technology

Designed for flexibility, durability, and longevity, Method Seven Pilot eyewear won't break your headset seal, ensuring you never miss a radio call. Timeless style meets endless comfort, without interruption. Developed and tested with real pilots across various professional and general aviation aircraft and cockpit configurations.

The Altitude plus minus

It's the best of both worlds—you get a thermal-injected front, with wrap and great side protection, and titanium temples for headset and helmet compatibility. It's like an Audi RS6 wagon—lambo engine, room for the kids. The Altitude is a workhorse. It's best for normal/slim faces. If you know you have a wide face, check out the Patriot Frame. Same lens choices, different design.

Titanium Frame Technology plus minus

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.

Method Seven Pilot

Method Seven scientifically develops eyewear in-house and rigorously tests it in the field. Our mission is to unlock the full potential of the greatest flight instrument of all: the human eye. We are committed to enhancing vision, providing unmatched clarity, and ensuring superior protection for all pilots.

Simple the best! My favorite glasses ever... and I have owned many as an airshow pilot, boater and adventurist!

Rob "Scratch" Mitchell is a highly accomplished fighter pilot with a distinguished career flying CF-18s and performing as an airshow pilot, both in the CF-18 and with the world-renowned Snowbirds jet team. It was with the Snowbirds that Scratch was able to blend his passion for aviation with his artistic talents. In 2006, he returned to the Snowbirds as Team Lead for two years.

Recently, Scratch has had the privilege of flying a classic F-86 fighter jet for Vintage Wings of Canada. He is currently thrilled to fly with the world-famous Patriots Jet Team out of California, a team that closely aligns with his guiding principles: “passion, focus, and action”—his keys to success.

"Scratch" Mitchell joined the Ace Maker team in 2018 as a third-generation fighter pilot who formerly flew with the Royal Canadian Air Force’s Snowbirds air demonstration team. He brings his extensive experience from both in and outside the RCAF to showcase the maximum performance and graceful beauty of the Shooting Star, America's first operational fighter jet and trainer, in Ace Maker’s Solo T-33 Aerobatic Demonstration.
