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.

FLT Lens Technology plus minus

Method Seven’s FLT lens technology is an engineering marvel, offering the closest approach to mineral glass in a shatterproof polymer lens. These lenses feature advanced anti-fog, anti-scratch, and anti-reflective interior coatings, ensuring durability and clarity in all conditions. With a neutral gray base, the FLT lens is ideal for most pilots and suitable for use in virtually any cockpit. A blue mirror flash coating enhances performance in harshly bright sunlight, making these lenses perfect for high-glare environments. Designed for aerobatics pilots, open cockpit aircraft, or anyone sensitive to the weight of traditional glass lenses, these are the lightest pilot sunglasses available, combining unparalleled comfort with superior optical protection.

24% 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 24% VLT is on the lighter side. But remember, VLT is an average. We use notch flitering so our lenses can have a higher VLT than most (lighter), yet block more harsh light energy. The result? You get more good light to your eyes comfortably and safely. You make better, faster decisions and have less fatigue.

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 Aviatrix plus minus

Titanium, with no-tangle nose pieces and classic aviator styling - this was designed for women pilots - it's a strong, beautiful, and classic aviator. At 17 grams (about the weight of an AA battery). Proven by some of the best pilots in the world - Vicky Benzing among them, who trusts this frame while setting records at the Reno Air Races. It's a slim frame that also works well for men with slim faces. It fits great under a helmet, is headset-compatible - and looks so sharp.

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.
