Precision-engineered for the cockpit. Cedar composite meets titanium.

The Scheyden Jet-A is a premium aviation sunglass built for pilots who demand the best in optical performance, comfort, and durability. A unique cedar rolled composite frame paired with high nickel silver titanium temples delivers a hybrid construction that is exceptionally lightweight, strong, and slim enough to fit comfortably under any headset or hat. Choose your lens material — RSR Razor Sharp Resin or true Mineral Glass — and your polarization preference. Handmade in Japan.

Why Choose the Scheyden Jet-A?

Cedar Rolled Composite + Titanium Temple Hybrid — A unique construction combining the warmth and rigidity of cedar composite with the strength and flexibility of high nickel silver titanium temples. Slim enough to fit under headsets without pressure.
Choice of Lens Material — RSR Razor Sharp Resin or true Mineral Glass. Both deliver exceptional optical clarity — choose based on your priorities (see guide below).
Polarized or Non-Polarized — Non-polarized recommended for pilots (avoids LCD instrument interference). Polarized available for non-aviation use.
Spring-Loaded Hinges — Precision-engineered for superior fit, flexibility, and long-term durability.
Hypoallergenic Cloisonné Temple Tips — Premium finishing detail for lasting comfort and a refined look.
Soft Silicone Nose Pads — Anti-slip, adjustable, and comfortable for all-day wear.
Slim Fit Under Headsets & Hats — Designed specifically for pilots. No pressure points, no interference with ear cups.
Prescription Available — Standard, RX, and custom bifocal lenses available. Call 866-440-2461 to add a prescription to your order.

Choosing Your Lens Material

Lens Material	Clarity	Best For
RSR Razor Sharp Resin	Near-glass clarity, lightweight	Pilots who want the lightest possible lens with exceptional optical performance. Scheyden's proprietary hard resin — as close to mineral glass as resin can get.
Mineral Glass	True glass clarity, scratch-resistant	Pilots who want the absolute best optical clarity and superior scratch resistance. Heavier than resin but unmatched in visual precision.

Polarized vs. Non-Polarized

Option	Best For
Non-Polarized	Recommended for pilots. Polarized lenses can interfere with LCD cockpit displays and glass cockpit instruments. Non-polarized keeps your instruments readable at all times.
Polarized	Ideal for non-aviation use — driving, boating, fishing, cycling. Maximum glare elimination from reflective surfaces.

Lens Colors

Lens Color	Best For
Bronze	Enhanced contrast and depth perception — excellent in variable light and hazy conditions
Gray	True color perception — the most versatile choice for bright conditions and everyday flying

Frame Finishes

Frame Finish	Style Notes
Black	Classic, bold, versatile — the pilot's standard
Tortoise (Havana)	Warm, classic — a refined look for a premium frame

Shipping Policy

USA SHIPPING

Please note that we process orders Monday through Friday and ship usually within 3-5 days. This is because our inventory is stored at an eFulfillment center and it takes time to process, package and ship our orders.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

We currently ship to most countries through a third party processor. This means that we ship the package to a freight forwarder in the US who then ships the package to the purchasers home country.

You will be provided a tracking link to track your purchase; however, remember that it takes time to get to the forwarder, time for the forwarder to relabel the package, and then time to get to customs in your country.
