Method Seven Altitude Pilot Sunglasses
Free Returns/Exchanges
Description
Your headset fits tight. Your sunglasses should too.
If your headset clamps close to your temples, most sunglasses become a problem — pressure points, broken acoustic seals, and constant adjustments mid-flight. The Method Seven Altitude was engineered specifically to solve that. Its ultra-thin Titanium/TR90 composite frame is the slimmest in the Method Seven lineup, disappearing under even the tightest-fitting headsets with zero discomfort and zero seal compromise.
And it doesn't stop at fit. Method Seven's proprietary Notch Filtering Technology selectively amplifies the visual signals your brain needs while suppressing the ones that cause fatigue. You don't just see less glare — you see better.
What the Altitude Does For You
- Fits under the tightest headsets without breaking the seal — The ultra-thin Titanium/TR90 composite frame is the slimmest in the Method Seven lineup. No pressure points, no acoustic seal compromise, no missed radio calls — even with close-fitting headsets and flight helmets.
- Reduces visual fatigue on long flights — Notch Filtering Technology creates a harmonious balance between what your eyes receive and what your brain processes. Your eyes work less, your situational awareness stays sharper, and you arrive less fatigued.
- Delivers optically superior clarity — SKY mineral glass lenses give you the sharpest possible view with full UV and glare blocking. Every instrument, every horizon, every traffic call — crystal clear.
- Eliminates side glare without losing peripheral vision — The 8-base wraparound design blocks light from the sides while keeping your scan pattern clean from takeoff to touchdown.
- Keeps your instruments readable — Non-polarized lenses mean LCD displays, glass cockpits, and avionics screens stay crisp and interference-free at all times.
- Matches your flying conditions — Three VLT options (9%, 18%, 30%) let you dial in the right tint for bright high-altitude sun, variable light, or overcast days.
The tightest fit. The sharpest vision.
3 lens options. One frame engineered for pilots who demand both.

The Method Seven Difference
Regular aviator sunglasses reduce brightness — but they don't improve vision. Your eyes still strain. Your brain still works overtime. Method Seven's Notch Filtering amplifies what helps and suppresses what doesn't, delivering sharper situational awareness and less visual fatigue on every flight.

Choose Your VLT for the Way You Fly
| VLT | Best For |

| SKY9 — 9% | Bright daylight, high-altitude flying, intense sun |
| SKY30 — 30% | Overcast, low-light, or transitional conditions |
| FLT18 — 18% | Variable light with shatterproof durability |
Not sure? SKY9 is the most popular pick for daytime VFR flying. FLT18 is a great all-rounder if you want shatterproof durability.

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.
