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
