    Best Sunglasses Ever — Best sunglasses ever! It’s so hard to find non-polarized sunglasses. Being non-polarized the instrument panel, PFD, ND and EICAS are all sharp and bright and easy to see. The lenses dissipate all glare and make distance vision crisp to locate traffic. They are super lightweight and fit comfortably beneath my Bose headset. It’s helpful to have the lower half of the lenses at a 1.5 for readers to see the charts on the iPad. You will not find better sunglasses!! These are amazing and look fabulous!!!

    — I have had my Scheyden ?Albatross? sunglasses for about 6 years. I dropped them once and sent them back to company to replace the broken len. Fixed, cleaned and returned promptly. Never wear anything else when flying LOVE THE GLASSES

    — These glasses are comfortable in every way — for hours and hours — WITH a headset! No headache, no shoving the sides up over the headset earpads, no nose pinch. And the visibility is just as good as they promise! I vote for these every time!

    — I have been wearing the Scheyden Albatross frames now for over 2 years. Whether flying for fun or taking my one-of-a-kind L139 Albatros jet around the track at the Reno Air Races, Scheyden eyewear are always my choice. When it comes to the competition nothing compares.

    — My husband and I purchased eyewear at the Aviation Expo last year and the Albatross have become my new every day glasses. I wear them driving, while at the beach, and gardening. I loved them so much that when I saw they make them in gold I got a pair in gold too! I highly recommend them

    — I own a pair of the Albatross frames and I’ve got to say, these glasses are better than advertised! Love that they come with glass lenses, it doesn’t get any clearer than this. The frames themselves are sturdy and comfortable and you can tell much attention was paid to the details. Have been using them mostly for driving and leisure, but when on they don’t strain my eyes and they stay put- added bonus that they say the lenses are water and oil resistant! They look and feel great. Quite satisfied with my purchase!

    — I love my pair of Scheyden Albatross sunglasses. Simply put, these are hands down the greatest, most durable pair of sunglasses I’ve ever owned. No other pair of sunglasses you will ever buy comes close to the quality of Scheyden. I primarily use these glasses for driving and they are just excellent in every type of road condition. I?ve put these glasses through the ultimate stress test. From the bright and snowy winter roads of Pennsylvania to glaring sunlight during daylong drives, these glasses provide me with the ultimate glare-free protection and make driving a much safer and enjoyable task. The UV and glare-free protection in these glasses is simply mind blowing. They perfectly block out every speck of light evenly and comfortably, especially if you have sensitive vision. They are almost like magic! I specifically like the aviator-style design not only for the fashionable look, but the glasses totally block out any glaring light in your peripheral vision. Speaking of fashion, these are a really sleek pair of aviators that look like they would fit any face perfect. Last but not least, these glasses are extremely durable. They are better than any pair of glasses I have owned in the past, as they seem to be extremely resistant to scratching, bending, dirt, dust, and fingerprints. In over a year I don?t think I?ve had to clean them or wipe them down even once. They are also very lightweight for maximum comfort, so much that a few times I forgot I was wearing them. The Albatross glasses are not the cheap aviators you see in the gas station. These are a serious pair of aviators that you will enjoy wearing and cherish forever.

    — Really comfortable glasses that block UV, are very light, and crystal clear. What more could you ask from a pair of aviators? I would definitely recommend these to others. One suggestion for improvement, either make the earpieces adjustable (in length) or have multiple sizes. Mine are just a smidgen too long, but the frame feels like it would break if I tried to bend them. Nice product! Oh yeah, I had a problem with the cases that I received with my two pairs of glass. Scheyden customer support sent me replacements with no questions asked, so Kudos!

    — The Scheyden Albatross provides the perfect balance between styling and functionality, the lightweight frame fits comfortably underneath my headset, and the crystal clear lenses make it easy for me to spot other nearby aircraft. This greatly improves my situational awareness in the air. The Albatross is a must have for any pilot, commercial or recreational!

    — I’ve owned all the top end sunglasses over the last 30 years, but, the Scheyden have been the best. I

    — Coast to coast, sunrise to sunset, I rely on Scheyden Precision Eyewear’s polarized Jet-A sunglasses for optimal protection & unrivaled quality while out on the water all day. Fish can’t hide from my polarized Jet-As!

    — I have been in love with Scheyden since the day I purchased the Albatross 5 years ago. I was true to Ray Ban but I needed something that fit comfortably under my headset while looking great at the same time. I received the Liberators and I am HOOKED. Unbreakable titanium frames! SOLD! I bent and twisted these frames and they did not budge. With the glass lenses these are still light. I have had both the bronze and grey colored lenses and they both are perfect for the cockpit especially for sunny or bright and cloudy days. I can not express how kid proof these are! They can not bend but they can not scratch either. That makes this mom of two toddlers VERY happy! The Liberators are my favorite by far and I would recommend them to anyone for every day or for flying for sure.

    — It’s always hard to find a quality pair of shades that fit well, have great lenses, and will pass the durability test while traveling. The Liberators by Scheyden check all these boxes for me and they are my favorite pair of aviators by far.

    — I had a pair of Oakleys and when i first put these on i could not believe how good i could see. they are super light and comfortable. best sunglasses i have owned so far. i got the no polarized for flying

    — I have the Albatross in a bronze polarized lens. They are making me extremely satisfied in every way! They are substantial in quality and weight. They feel balanced and engineered to fit into the face while laying firmly on your ears. I have yet to see a scratch on the lens and have accidentally dropped them several times. I have had many compliments from my friends and they want to know how to get them. I tell them- Scheyden eyewear

    Albatross — Better than any sunglasses I’ve ever owned! I absolutely love my gold ones.

    Size please. — Why not put the measurements of the glasses so we can know if they fit correctly.

  25. Chris (verified owner)

    Best I've ever owned — The quality is hands down the best of any pair of sunglasses I’ve worn.. the optics are impeccably clear and the frames are incredibly strong. Best of all is a the customer support… I called once about getting another microfiber cloth and received super fast, courteous help. What more can you ask for?

    — Everything a pair of aviators should be. Quality is self-evident when you pick them up. Coverage is good without feeling like goggles, and the proportions suit a wide spectrum of faces (both men and women seem to wear them well). The lab Scheyden uses does a great job filling prescription lenses, and customer service is fantastic. Not sure why this model is on sale, but I hope it’s not being discontinued — it’s a keeper.
