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

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.

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.

The Interceptor plus minus

Inspired by elite fighter aircraft, the Interceptor is our most aerodynamic frame to date, designed to accommodate a variety of face shapes and sizes. The Interceptor is designed for an imperceptible fit with headsets and flight helmets, ensuring it won't break the headset seal or compromise your audio quality. The frame design eliminates pressure, pinching, and hotspots, ensuring comfort even on long hauls. Rubberized nose pads prevent slippage, keeping eyewear secure under high G-forces. Handcrafted from durable TR90 thermoplastic, the Interceptor offers lightweight flexibility, scratch resistance, and corrosion protection, delivering a perfect balance of strength and comfort.
