Free Returns/Exchanges
Description
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 |

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.
