Why Aviator Sunglasses are Essential for Pilots

Pilots wear special sunglasses called aviators to protect their eyes while flying.

The sun is extra bright up high, and the big windows in the plane let in a lot of light, which can be harsh.

Aviator sunglasses cover the eyes well and block light, even from the sides.

They also block harmful UV rays.

Though some sunglasses are polarized, pilots usually can't use those because it might mess up the screens in the cockpit.

Aviators are comfy and light, so pilots can wear them for many hours without problems.
