EDGE PILOT SUNGLASSES FOR MEN & WOMEN - Blue


With their modern styling, unique specifications and conformity to CAA recommendations, the UV400 Edge Pilot Sunglasses for Men & Women further enhance Rapid Eyewear's classic 'Mile High' range. Grey category 3 lenses can be swapped with two further options to cover all light conditions. Available in three frame colours - change the drop-down menu at the top of this page to view the options.

The Frames

Made from an ultra tough TR90 material, Edge are lightweight and very comfortable. A unique feature are the ratcheted side arms, which can be micro adjusted up or down to make the sunglasses sit perfectly on your head. Further adjustments can be made by altering the width of the nose clip, making for a bespoke fit all round. The flat side arms fit easily under a headset.

The frames feature a wrap-around shape, which prevents the intrusion of unwanted wind and light from the peripheries of your vision.


Edge are available in three attractive colours: matt black, blue, and red. Please select your preferred colour from the drop-down menu at the top of this page before completing your purchase.

The Lenses

Three sets of lenses are supplied as standard. They are:

  • Category 0 yellow, for low light conditions. An AR coating on the rear surface reduces the glare of lights when used at night
  • Category 2, red, for average or changeable light conditions
  • Category 3 grey mirror, for regular or bright sunshine


All lenses are decentred and anti-scratch coated. They are not polarised, and comply with all other CAA recommendations. Small vents on the lower part of the lens allows it to 'breathe', helping prevent mist patches forming in hot conditions.

The Package

Edge MH are supplied with a carry case, retainer strap and microfibre cleaning cloth as standard.

Conformity

All Rapid Eyewear sunglasses comply with current British, European and US standards for sunglasses. As such, they offer 100% UVA / UVB (UV400) protection. They also comply with all Civil Aviation Authority recommendations for pilot sunglasses.


Additional Lenses

We have a variety of additional lens options that can be purchased for the Edge frame; to view them all, please go to the Accessories section of this website. For your convenience we have included the option to add clear and category 3 green polarised golf options to your purchase here; if you would like to add these lens sets to your purchase, simply select them from the drop-down menu at the top of this page. Please note that polarised lenses must not be used for flying.
