The Pilot’s Choice for Cool, Comfortable & Safer Flights!
Designed for in-flight use Jet Shades significantly reduce heat, glare, UV radiation, & much more! These multitasking Jet Shades eliminate the sun beaming in — leaving pilots and passengers feeling refreshed and wondering how they ever flew without them.
Generation 2 Professional Series Jet Shades are the next generation of Jet Shades that have been completely redesigned to be more flexible, durable, and not delaminate even when the plane is parked in hot desert heat!
Made with a thinner, more bendable, and durable optical quality material that is half the thickness and weight of our original shades, Jet Shades Generation 2 Professional Series will:
- Reduce Cockpit Temperatures by 15-25° F: Makes flying a comfortable and enjoyable experience for everyone on board.
- Block 99.9% Harmful Solar Energy: Protects skin and eyes from dangerous UVA & UVB radiation.
- Cut Sun Glare, Maintain Clear Visibility: Reduces glare without compromising your view, ensuring safer navigation.
- Minimize Eye Strain & Pilot Fatigue: Reduces the impact of prolonged exposure to sunlight for a more comfortable flight.
Plus, we’ve added windshield Cruising Shades so you can enjoy complete sun-blocking control at cruising altitude. With this new addition, you will have the most comfortable cockpit during ALL phases of flight!
A Must-Have for Hot, Sunny Flights
