SKY mineral glass lenses define the pinnacle of contrast and clarity. The SKY18™ has a medium VLT of 18%, making it a perfect choice for mixed conditions. Vision Above All Precision optics designed specifically for aviators. Top-of-the-line lenses feature notch filtering technology for contrast, clarity, and performance that is second to none. Each lens option utilizes special thin-film coating technologies to dial in specific amounts of visible light (VLT) suited to pilot preferences and light levels for typical routes. Lens Technology SKY lenses are Method Seven’s original top-of-the-line pilot lenses, crafted from German glass with powerful notch filtering. SKY technology combines eleven rare earth elements including neodymium, molecularly bonded within a crystalline lens. Thirteen proprietary coatings block harmful UV and infrared heat while providing unmatched color and clarity. If you’re looking for the absolute best in performance. Lens Spectrum The SKY18™ (Medium) lens has a similar VLT to most other avionic sunglasses. However, the clarity of crystalline glass, combined with the comfort of a lens that absorbs extreme UVA light and infrared heat energy make it the best in the world. With medium tint and a VLT of 18%, it's an excellent choice for mixed conditions. Frame Technology Ascent's titanium alloy frame is a blend of updated aviator styling and some of the most advanced frame construction available. Light, strong and flexible titanium alloy temple pieces taper off to less than 1.0 mm thick, seamlessly conforming to your head and headset for any duration flight. Designed specifically for headsets, and tested for fit with flight helmets. Rubberized nose pads add comfort on long days in the seat. |

The frame appears to be stout and the sunglasses are comfortable. It took me a little time to get used to the blue lens and they seem to allow more “natural” light - not as dark as other color lenses.
