Precision Heat, UV, and Glare-blocking When the Sun is Beaming in at Level Flight
Enjoy gold-standard sun protection precisely where you need it! Simply position Cruising Shades under our windshield Jet Shades and customize the location for superior heat, UV, and glare-blocking while still allowing for visibility. Say goodbye to skin-damaging UV exposure, glare headaches, and uncomfortable heat. Note: Cruising Shades are intended for the enroute segment of IFR flights when the aircraft is level and the autopilot is engaged or for use while the aircraft is on the ground while parked.
The Ultimate Solution for Pilot Sun Protection & Comfort
Picture this: It’s the early morning or late afternoon, and relentless sun rays are beaming through your windshield during level flight. That’s when Cruising Shades come to your rescue, shielding you from UV damage, heat, and solar radiation without compromising your visibility.
Cruising Shades provide the same heat, glare, and UV-blocking properties as our Gen 2 Jet Shades and are designed to be used with your windshield Jet Shades. If you’re heading east to west in the afternoon or just seeking a more comfortable flight, these shades have your back.
Simply place the top of the Cruising Shade behind your windshield Jet Shade and rest the bottom on the dashboard to cruise in comfort.
Made with a thinner, more bendable, and durable optical quality materialthat is half the thickness and weight of original Jet Shades, Generation 2 Professional Series Cruising Shades will:
- quickly mount/dismount onto the aircraft dashboard during flight making install and removal during flight a breeze
- help pilots protect themselves by blocking 99.9% cancer-causing UV radiation
- take the heat — up to 200 degrees! They can be placed on the windshield when parked, eliminating the need for foil guards!
A Cockpit Must-Have for Hot, Sunny Flights
Generation 2 Professional Series Cruising Shades are thoughtfully designed with pilot comfort in mind. While other sun shade products focus mainly on blocking visible light, Jet Shades are built so you can enjoy complete sun protection without blocking your view, including:
- 99.9% protection from harmful UVA/UVB radiation
- up to 94% infrared heat blocked
- as much as 80% glare reduction
This triple protection from the sun is a game-changer for:
- individuals with fair skin and eyes
- anyone prone to sunburn or has a history of skin cancer
- families flying with children and pets
- passengers who use electronic devices
- anyone who feels uncomfortable in elevated thermal temperatures
