Pilot Sunglasses & Aviator Frames

Pilot sunglasses have a tougher job than everyday shades. UV intensity climbs sharply at altitude, and glare off the windscreen, cloud tops, and instrument glass works your eyes for the entire flight. The right aviator sunglasses deliver serious UV protection and glare control without interfering with the displays you fly by. Every pair in this collection was chosen with the cockpit in mind, not the beach.

Here is how working pilots choose a pair:

• Go non-polarized. Polarized lenses can black out LCD instruments and glass cockpit displays. Every frame here is non-polarized with full UV protection, like the Randolph Aviator in matte chrome with American Gray glass lenses.
• Pick a lens color for your flying. Neutral gray keeps colors true for charts and terrain; the matte black Randolph Aviator and the 23K gold military special edition both wear it. The Gunmetal Aviator with Atlantic Blue lenses suits haze and shifting light.
• Check headset comfort. Thin bayonet temples slide under ear seals without breaking the seal, and the featherweight Lift Aviation titanium aviators stay comfortable through a long cross-country.
• Protect the investment. The Randolph aviator care kit keeps glass lenses clean and flight-bag ready between trips.
