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.

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.

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.
