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 |
