The Method Seven Interceptor FLT18 combines advanced aviation optics with an aerodynamic frame inspired by fighter aircraft. Engineered for pilots who wear headsets and flight helmets, the Interceptor features exceptionally thin, low profile temples that help maintain headset ear seals and audio quality while reducing pressure, pinching, and hot spots during long flights. Its streamlined design accommodates a variety of face shapes and sizes.Constructed from durable TR90 thermoplastic, the black frame is lightweight, flexible, and resistant to corrosion and everyday wear. The temples measure less than 1 mm at their thinnest point, allowing them to fit comfortably beneath aviation headsets without creating unnecessary pressure. Rubberized nose pads provide grip to help minimize slipping during aerobatics and high G maneuvers. The flexible construction supports a secure, comfortable fit for extended flying.Nonpolarized FLT18 polycarbonate lenses provide 18% visible light transmission (VLT), a versatile medium tint for sunny and mixed daylight conditions. Developed by M7 Labs in Santa Cruz, California, proprietary notch filtering enhances contrast and helps pilots distinguish details in clouds, terrain, and flight instruments while maintaining balanced, natural colors. A neutral gray viewing tint, exterior blue flash mirror finish, and anti reflective coating help manage bright sunlight and distracting reflections. Full UV protection shields eyes from ultraviolet radiation.Unlike polarized sunglasses, FLT18 lenses help pilots read glass cockpit displays, GPS units, and tablets without polarization interference or distracting patterns through aircraft windows. Lightweight, shatter resistant lenses are drop ball tested for impact resistance.The hand-tooled, serial numbered frame weighs 21.9 grams and features a 6 base decentered lens curve. Frame measurements: 58-20-137 mm; lens height: 45 mm. Includes a microfiber cleaning pouch and protective hard case that folds flat for storage in a flight bag or headset case.
