AVIATRIX SKY30

Pilot Sunglasses

$245.00

Description plus minus

Sunglasses designed specifically for female pilots. SKY mineral glass lenses define the pinnacle of contrast and clarity. The SKY30™ has a VLT of 30%, which lets in plenty of light while protecting against damaging UV and infrared.

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 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.

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.

Vicky Benzing

Method Seven lenses provide unsurpassed clarity and contrast which are critical for me to perform my best–whether I'm flying 10 feet off the ground or racing at 496.831 mph. I will not race and I will not fly without my Method Sevens.

Vicky Benzing is a talented aerobatic airshow pilot and the fastest woman in air racing. She has competed in both the Jet and Sport classes at the National Championship Air Races in Reno and will make history this year as the second woman to race in the Unlimited class.

Vicky earned her Ph.D. in Chemistry at UC Berkeley while obtaining her private pilot certificate. Despite a success in tech, her passion for flying became a second career.

With over 8,000 flight hours and 1,200 parachute jumps, she holds an airline transport pilot rating and commercial ratings in helicopters, seaplanes, and gliders. She began serious aerobatic training in 2005, competing and performing in over 200 airshows, including EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, WI.

Benzing inspires women to pursue their dreams, demonstrating that with hard work, anything is possible.
