AERO AVIATION TECHNOLOGY™
BY ART–CRAFT OPTICAL
Navigate the friendly skies like never before, with the first
sunglass lens developed for pilots and aviation enthusiasts.
Building upon Art-Craft's 100+ year history designing cockpit-approved eyewear for every
branch of the U.S. and NATO-aligned military, we've developed our nylon sunglass lenses featuring Aero Aviation Technology™ specifically for pilots and aviation enthusiasts.
Always American-made, Art-Craft's proprietary lens technology provides the image clarity, color contrast, visual comfort, and comprehensive protection you need to safeguard your eyes at any altitude.
100% UVProtection
Our lenses featuring
Aero Aviation Technology™
provide the most effective defense available against UVA and UVB rays, which are stronger at altitudes above 10,000 feet.
Blue Light Blocking Technology
Protect your eyes from harmful blue light and high energy visible (HEV)
rays that cause macular degeneration, cataracts, and decreased vision.
DEFEND® Coating
Our anti-reflective, anti-static coating provides an optimal light
transmittance that enhances image clarity while repelling dust, dirt,
and debris.
Unmatched Durability
Every Art-Craft lens is equipped with a machine-dipped hard coating to ensure superior scratch resistance for years to come.
Hydrophobic Coating
Our hydrophobic coating prevents water accumulation, allowing moisture to roll off the lens without stains or residue.
Oleophobic Coating
Smudges, fingerprints, and skin oil build-up are worries of the past, thanks to Art-Craft's oleophobic coating.
Two-Year Warranty
We know sunglasses are an investment in your optical health. That's why every Art-Craft lens is backed by a two-year warranty.
Clear Image Performance
Don't just take our word for it—Art-Craft's lenses featuring Aero Aviation Technology™ meet or exceed all global standards for filtration and visual acuity.
What Sets Our Aero Aviation Technology™ Apart
Crisp clarity without distortion
The spectral curve of these lenses complements that of the human eye, allowing for unparalleled stereoscopic perception and color recognition.
High definition, high contrast
Art-Craft's Aero Aviation Technology™ provides the image quality and color contrast you need to monitor exterior surroundings and your cockpit controls at any altitude.
Strategic light transmission
To protect you from UV and blue light levels experienced at higher altitudes, our lenses provide light transmission levels that improve optical quality and reduce eye fatigue.
Best-in-class lens materials
Our lightweight NYOLITE® lenses and proprietary coatings offer superior scratch resistance and less dispersion and chromatic aberration than polycarbonate lenses.
Anatomy of Our Aero Aviation Technology™
1. Front-surface oleophobic coating repels static and helps prevent scratching and the absorption of smudges, fingerprints, and skin oil build-up, resulting in a protective surface that's always easy to clean
2. High-tech ion flux multilayer mirror coatings with enhanced filtering capabilities while minimizing internal reflections
3. Hard coating provides superior scratch resistance to the lens front surface
4. Nylon lens base in Art-Craft's proprietary green-grey color developed specifically for aviation use
5. Hard coating provides superior scratch resistance to the back surface
6. Anti-static, anti-reflection coating reduces backside reflection by 99%
7. Back-surface hydrophobic coating repels moisture without leaving stains or residue
