Ascent FLT18 | Pilot Sunglasses

Vision Above All

Our Ascent FLT18 pilot sunglasses have precision optics designed specifically for aviators. Our top-of-the-line lenses feature notch filtering technology for contrast, clarity, and performance that is second to none. Each lens option utilizes special thin-film coating technologies to dial in specific amounts of visible light (VLT) suited to pilot preferences and light levels for typical routes.

Frame Technology

Ascent's titanium alloy frame is a blend of updated aviator styling and some of the most advanced frame construction available. Light, strong and flexible titanium alloy temple pieces taper off to less than 1.0 mm thick, seamlessly conforming to your head and headset for any duration flight. Designed specifically for headsets, and tested for fit with flight helmets. Rubberized nose pads add comfort on long days in the seat.

Lens Technology

The Ascent FLT18 aviator glasses have lenses by Method Seven that are the first to offer notch filtering in lightweight, shatterproof lenses. Constructed from a durable polymer with dual high-quality coatings, FLT lenses are at the cutting edge of aviation optics, and weigh 30% less than SKY lenses. Enhanced contrast, impossible clarity, world-class performance: these are not your father's aviators. The FLT 18% (Medium) is a great choice for general and mixed conditions. Though it has a similar VLT to most other avionic sunglasses, notch filtering and world-class protection make this lens superior to others on the market.
