Method Seven Altitude FLT18 Pilot Sunglasses
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.

Product Details
The Method Seven Difference
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 FLT18 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 — Lightweight and shatterproof, FLT lenses are the first to offer notch filtering in a durable polymer. Medium tint and a VLT of 18% makes these pilot sunglasses a great choice for general and mixed conditions.
- 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.
