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.

18% Visible Light Transmission plus minus

Method Seven’s FLT18 lenses feature a Visible Light Transmission (VLT) of 18%, meaning they allow 18% of light to pass through the lens. This makes them perfect for most sky conditions, from overcast to clear of clouds. This versatile VLT is ideal for a broad range of pilots and aircraft, providing excellent performance in various weather conditions. With a VLT similar to the level recommended by the FAA, these lenses ensure optimal light management without sacrificing clarity or color accuracy, offering pilots superior adaptability and reliable performance across diverse flying environments.

Frame Technology

Method Seven Lifestyle frames are Italian-designed and manufactured. They are classic styles with a bit of California flare, featuring flex hinges and gorgeous hand-tooled materials.

The Evolution plus minus

An Italian design twist on a California classic square-flat frame. One of our most popular frames, it fits everyone perfectly. It's excellent for broad faces with its concealed flex hinges and also looks super cool on smaller faces. Made from thermo-injected polymer in Italy, these frames are polished smooth and offer a timeless style.

TR90 plus minus

TR90 is a cutting-edge thermoplastic material that is ideal for pilot sunglasses due to its unique combination of durability, flexibility, and lightweight properties. Designed to withstand the demands of high-performance environments, TR90 frames are impact-resistant and can endure extreme conditions without warping or breaking. The material’s inherent flexibility ensures a comfortable, pressure-free fit, even during long hours of wear. Additionally, its resistance to corrosion and scratches ensures long-lasting performance, providing a reliable, comfortable, and durable solution for professional aviators.
