Flying Eyes® Cooper Aviator Standard Aviation Sunglasses
The Flying Eyes® Cooper Aviator Standard combines classic pilot styling with modern aviation performance. Designed specifically for use under headsets and helmets, these aviation sunglasses feature ultra-thin temples, lightweight construction, and UV400 protection for long days in the cockpit.
Key Features
Classic Aviator Design: Traditional teardrop lens shape delivers timeless pilot style with balanced coverage.
Headset-Friendly Temples: Ultra-thin 1mm Resilamide™ arms slide comfortably under aviation headsets without creating pressure points or breaking the ear seal.
100% UV400 Protection: Impact-resistant polycarbonate lenses block 100% of UVA and UVB rays while maintaining clear optics in bright flight conditions.
Lightweight & Durable Frame: Flexible performance construction built for flight training, commercial operations, and everyday outdoor wear.
Prescription Compatible: Frame supports Rx lenses for pilots who require vision correction.
Engineered for Aviation Professionals
Unlike traditional aviator sunglasses with thick metal arms, the Cooper Aviator Standard is built with ultra-thin Resilamide™ temples engineered specifically for aviation use. The 1mm thin arms reduce pressure beneath headset ear cups and help maintain proper noise attenuation during extended flights.
The Standard size offers a 144.5 mm frame width with 61 mm lenses, providing an ideal fit for medium to large faces. Shatter-resistant polycarbonate lenses deliver dependable UV400 protection and clear visibility in bright daylight flying conditions.

The item is worth a 5 star review but the fact it took 3 weeks to receive the item knocked the review down to 3 stars. Won’t order from Pilotshq.com again. I’ve ordered other items in the past and it’s always the same, 3-4 weeks for delivery.
Very well made, feels good in the hand. The only problem I've had with them is the reverse twist function. When you pull to twist it gets hung up for 3 to 4 tries. They work eventually. Fast shipping and packaged nicely.
