Description plus minus

Inspired by elite fighter aircraft, the Interceptor combines an aerodynamic TR90 frame with a secure wraparound fit and ultra-thin temples designed for aviation headsets and flight helmets. Rubberized nose pads help prevent slipping during high-G maneuvers. Lightweight, non-polarized FLT18 lenses use advanced notch filtering to enhance contrast and clarity, with 18% visible light transmission and full UV protection. Frame size: 58–20–137 mm | Lens height: 45 mm | Base curve: 6 | Weight: 21.9 g

Lens Technology

Method Seven develops advanced, non-polarized optical technology specifically for the visual demands of aviation. Our proprietary notch filtering selectively reduces harsh wavelengths of light while preserving useful visual information, enhancing contrast, clarity, and natural color perception. Engineered to provide full UV protection without the electronic display visibility issues associated with polarized lenses, Method Seven optics help pilots maintain a clear view of instruments, aircraft windows, and the surrounding environment.

FLT Lens Technology plus minus

FLT lenses deliver Method Seven's aviation-specific notch filtering in a lightweight, impact-resistant polymer. Engineered as an alternative to traditional mineral glass, these non-polarized lenses combine a neutral gray base with a blue flash mirror coating to manage intense sunlight while preserving natural color perception. Anti-reflective interior coatings reduce distracting reflections, while protective surface treatments support durability and clear vision. Their lightweight construction makes FLT lenses particularly well suited for aerobatic flying, open-air aircraft, and extended wear.

18% Visible Light Transmission plus minus

At 18% Visible Light Transmission (VLT), Method Seven lenses provide a versatile tint for a broad range of daytime flying conditions, from overcast skies to bright sunshine. Advanced notch filtering selectively reduces harsh light while preserving useful visual information, natural color perception, and contrast. This balanced light transmission makes 18% VLT a practical choice for pilots flying in varied weather, lighting conditions, and aircraft.

Frame Technology

Method Seven Pilot frames are engineered for the specific demands of aviation, combining lightweight materials, flexibility, durability, and a secure fit. Our headset-compatible designs feature ultra-thin temples that minimize pressure, help maintain headset seals, and reduce interference with flight helmets and oxygen equipment. Developed and tested with professional and general aviation pilots, each frame is purpose-built for comfort, stability, and clear communication during flight.

TR90 plus minus

TR90 is an advanced thermoplastic material engineered for lightweight strength, flexibility, and durability. Its resilient construction allows frames to flex under pressure while retaining their shape, providing a comfortable and secure fit. Resistant to corrosion and everyday wear, TR90 is particularly well suited for aviation, active environments, and extended use.

The Interceptor plus minus

Inspired by high-performance aviation, the Interceptor features an aerodynamic TR90 frame engineered for flexibility, stability, and comfort. Ultra-thin temples minimize pressure and help preserve headset seals, while its wraparound profile provides broad peripheral coverage. Rubberized nose pads help prevent slipping during high-G maneuvers, making the Interceptor well suited for aerobatic flying, extended flights, and pilots who demand a secure fit without pressure points.

Love these sunglasses!! Fantastic fit with the headset
