Van’s RV-8 Ultra-Thins Kit Solutions

Cockpit Sun Protection that Ends the “Greenhouse Effect” in Your RV!

Designed for in-flight use Ultra-Thins 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. Leave them in while parked to protect your aircraft interior and reduce inside temperatures.

Cool, Comfortable Cockpits Under the Canopy!

While Van’s RV aircraft provide spectacular, unrestricted views through the canopy, solar energy and heat beaming through the canopy can sap the enjoyment out of flying — not to mention the glare and nonstop UV exposure that is soaking all on board!

With our patent-pending design, Jet Shades for Van’s Aircraft canopies solves the problem of hot, sunny trips with a uniquely designed product that will have you on cloud nine!

Made with a highly-engineered material that bends and flexes to fit your entire canopy, weighs less than four pounds, and is precut for easy installation, Jet Shades 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 while preserving unhindered visibility through the side canopy, ensuring safer navigation.
• Minimize Eye Strain & Pilot Fatigue: Reduces the impact of prolonged exposure to sunlight for a more comfortable flight.
• Eliminate Time-Consuming Foil Guards: Keep your Jet Shades in while parked to protect your aircraft interior and reduce inside temperatures.

Already have a fabric pull shade? Not to worry! Jet Shades will still attach with our mounting kit above the fabric shade and provide protection down the sides as well. Check out our video of Jet Shades installed in an RV-9 tip up canopy outfitted with a fabric pull shade.

A Must-Have for Hot, Sunny Flights
