The lightest frame in the Scheyden fleet. Wayfarer style. Born in the aerobatic cockpit.

The Scheyden Waylite is a first of its kind — a timeless wayfarer silhouette engineered with aviation-friendly features from the ground up. Originally designed for aerobatic pilots who needed a wayfarer-style frame that could be worn comfortably with a headset or helmet, the Waylite is now the lightest composite frame in the entire Scheyden lineup. Ultra-thin temples, triple barrel hinges, and RSR lenses in a frame that fits nearly all faces. Made in Japan.

Why Choose the Scheyden Waylite?

Lightest Composite Frame in the Scheyden Fleet — Full composite construction with ultra-thin temples. You'll barely notice them on — even after hours in the cockpit or on the field.

Originally Designed for Aerobatic Pilots — Built to stay in place through high-G maneuvers and fit comfortably under any headset or helmet. The wayfarer style that pilots actually asked for.

Fits Nearly All Faces — The Waylite's proportions are designed to work across a wide range of face shapes and sizes. One of the most universally flattering frames in the lineup.

RSR (Razor Sharp Resin) Lenses — Scheyden's proprietary hard resin lenses deliver optical clarity approaching mineral glass. Dye-infused for precise, consistent tint throughout.

Triple Barrel Hinges — Premium hardware for superior durability and a smooth, secure fit.

Anti-Slip Silicone Nose Pads — Soft, secure, and comfortable for all-day wear.

Polarized or Non-Polarized — Non-polarized recommended for pilots (avoids LCD instrument interference). Polarized available for non-aviation use.

Prescription Available — Standard and RX options available. Call 866-440-2461 for bifocal or reading lens options.

Choosing Your Lens Color

Lens Color | Best For
Bronze RSR | Enhanced contrast and depth perception — excellent in variable light, hazy conditions, and at altitude
Gray RSR | True color perception — the most versatile choice for bright conditions and everyday wear

Polarized vs. Non-Polarized

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

Frame Finishes

Frame Finish | Style Notes
Black | Classic, bold, versatile — the most popular choice
Clear | Unique and modern — a transparent frame that lets the lens color take center stage
Tortoise | Warm, classic — a timeless wayfarer look
