Frequently Asked Questions

What Sunglasses Do Pilots Use?

Pilots rely on high-quality, non-polarized sunglasses that provide clear visibility and protection without distorting cockpit instruments. Randolph’s pilot sunglasses, originally designed for U.S. military pilots, feature SkyTec™ glass or SkyForce™ nylon lenses for superior optical clarity and UV protection.

Are Pilots Allowed to Wear Sunglasses While Flying?

Yes, pilots are encouraged to wear sunglasses to reduce glare, improve contrast, and protect their eyes from UV rays. Non-polarized lenses, like those in Randolph’s aviation sunglasses, ensure unobstructed visibility of digital and analog cockpit displays.

Why Can’t Pilots Use Polarized Sunglasses?

Polarized lenses block light at specific angles, which can cause instrument panels, LCD screens, and reflections from other aircraft to become difficult to see. That’s why pilots prefer gradient or non-polarized lenses, which offer clear and reliable vision at all times.

Why Do Air Force Pilots Wear Aviator Sunglasses?

Aviator sunglasses were originally developed for military pilots to enhance visibility, reduce glare, and provide full eye coverage. The teardrop shape and large lenses allow for a wide field of view, making them ideal for high-altitude conditions. Randolph’s aviator sunglasses, trusted by Air Force pilots, deliver military-grade durability and optical precision for both flight and everyday wear.
