Choosing Your Lens Material Lens Material Clarity Best For RSR Razor Sharp Resin Near-glass clarity, lightweight Pilots who want the lightest possible lens with exceptional optical performance. Scheyden's proprietary hard resin — as close to mineral glass as resin can get. Mineral Glass True glass clarity, scratch-resistant Pilots who want the absolute best optical clarity and superior scratch resistance. Heavier than resin but unmatched in visual precision. Polarized vs. Non-Polarized Option Best For Non-Polarized Recommended for pilots. Polarized lenses can interfere with LCD cockpit displays and glass cockpit instruments. Non-polarized keeps your instruments readable at all times. Polarized Ideal for non-aviation use — driving, boating, fishing, cycling. Maximum glare elimination from reflective surfaces.
