ART-CRAFT SUN
CUSTOMER REVIEW
I had always known that Art Craft was a long-standing Rochester business but, until recently, I had no idea that they sold an amazing line of designer sunglasses! Classic but with a modern flair, I snagged a pair of aviators and love them! These aren't your average aviators. Their frames are made of ruthenium. Now, I have no idea what ruthenium but they make for a pair of glasses that are cool, beautiful, sturdy, and dependable!Bottom line, I'm so thrilled with these sunglasses that I'm already planning to grab another pair from Art Craft. They’ve nailed that effortlessly cool vibe! Awesome product!

AERO AVIATION
CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
As a professional display pilot for more than 40 years, I love to fly with Art-Craft's AERO Aviation lenses. The design provides exceptional comfort and protection — especially under sustained G forces and at high altitudes where light is very aggressive. No other aviation lenses on the market provide the same mix of performance and style.
The Art-Craft Aviators are an excellent choice in the airborne environment. The frames are light and comfortable and the lenses protect your vision whilst ensuring crystal clear clarity, including through the HUD.
At first, I was impressed by the design of Art-Craft's sunglasses. Wow, these shades look cool!
But the performance of their lightweight sun lenses is where Art-Craft stands out. The AERO Aviation lenses are free of distortions and provide incredible definition while flying through different lighting situations. The way these lenses adapt to different lighting conditions has resulted in less strain on my eyes. I have no plans to replace my Art-Craft Suns anytime soon!
Art-Craft is now delivering top-quality lightweight frames and high-contrast lenses featuring its AERO Aviation technology. These lenses are ideal not only for flying, but for everyday use. The clarity is improved over other lenses on the market, and the color intensity makes electronic device screens much easier to read.
Safety and precision are non-negotiable for pilots, and Art-Craft Optical's AERO Aviation technology delivers on both fronts. With their blue light management and 100% UV protection, these lenses provide exceptional clarity at high altitudes, while the advanced coatings make them resistant to scratches, dust, and debris, ensuring clear vision under any flight conditions. Plus, the anti-reflective mirror coatings significantly reduce glare, reducing eye strain and improving overall comfort during long flights.
These lenses are a must-have for any pilot seeking top-tier visual performance andsafety.
As a C-130H pilot, finding reliable sunglasses is essential, both in and out of the cockpit.I've found the quality of Art-Craft's AERO Aviation lenses to be exceptional. Not only do they reduce the harshness of the sun's rays without distorting my view of HUD displays and other instruments, but they also transition easily between internal and external environments.
The fit and comfort of these sunglasses are excellent — snug without being tight, which is critical during long missions. They even come with adjustable nose pads, making it easy to find a custom fit that provides comfort after hours of wear, even while wearing a headset. A sleek, modern twist on the classic aviator, Art-Craft's sunglasses look good enough for off-duty wear but are clearly designed for pilots at work.
As a pilot and flight test engineer, I've had the opportunity to test Art-Craft's new line of sunglasses in a variety of flight activities, and they're amazing!
The overall performance of the AERO Aviation lenses went far beyond my expectations —not only in full-sun conditions, but also under grey skies and heavy reverberation. I've had no problems transitioning between outside views and cockpit controls, and the acquisition of small flying targets is definitely powerful. Whether worn with a helmet or a headset, Art-Craft's sunglasses are a great tool for improving the comfort and safety off light crews.
Every aspect of Art-Craft's AERO Aviation lenses exhibits strong performance. The lens width covers more of the eye's natural field of vision without creating blind spots at the edges, and the excellent optical clarity enhances contrast while expanding the field of view, allowing me to easily notice peripheral details. The nylon material doesn't cause blurring or warping, making it most suitable for cockpit environments. And the anti-reflective and anti-fog coatings are very effective in reducing eye strain and navigating environments with rapidly changing cockpit pressurization and temperatures.
The Aviator frames sit comfortably under my helmet without causing any pressure, which is very beneficial during extended flights. Overall, these sunglasses offer notable benefits when it comes to comfort, clarity, and glare reduction.
Art-Craft's new line of sunglasses will be invaluable for our personnel, providing essential protection and comfort during our operations. Maintaining focus and clarity in the field isof utmost importance, and these high-performance frames and lenses help us achieve just that. It's the kind of support that strengthens our commitment to excellence and enhances our operating performance precision.
I've tried many different pairs of sunglasses from various brands, but none of them met all of my needs when it came to fit and performance. Art-Craft's sunglasses, however, fit perfectly and look exceptional. The high-quality AERO Aviation lenses are crisp, clear, and provide all the protection I require.
Art-Craft's Aviators are my new favorite sunglasses. Not only do they cover the whole viewing point, but the frames fit perfectly under my Bose A20 headphones without impacting the active noise-canceling function. These sunglasses provide the clarity I need to see all my instruments and outside of the cockpit — and maybe most importantly, they look great! Thank you, Art-Craft.
Art-Craft's new line of sunglasses with AERO Aviation lenses is definitely an excellent product for pilots! The lens shape is designed specifically for a pilot's unique requirements, and the blue light filter reduces the eye strain I usually experience in the cockpit. Plus, the frames are very lightweight and feel very stable on my face.


"As a new aviator, finding gear that truly works takes time — but from the moment I put on Art-Craft's sunglasses with AERO Aviation Technology™ lenses, I could tell they were different.
Not only do they perform flawlessly in direct sunlight, allowing me to look at the bright blue sky without strain, but the clarity these lenses provide when transitioning from the outside to the cockpit really impressed me. They seem to brighten the shadows inside the cockpit, making instruments incredibly easy to read without the typical darkened effect I experienced with other sunglasses.
As I continue working toward my commercial pilot's license, I can't imagine flying without these sunglasses. Thank you to the Art-Craft Optical family for crafting a product that truly enhances the aviation experience!"
