Scheyden (pronounced as shayden) Precision Eyewear Sunglasses have been around for almost 20 years, yet they remain a hidden gem for many. Developed by Jeff Herold, a pilot, avid golfer, and businessman, Scheyden sunglasses are crafted to meet the exacting standards of aerospace products, ensuring unmatched durability, precision, and optical performance. Jeff's journey into eyewear began out of necessity when he couldn't find comfortable pilot sunglasses that fit well under his headset without pinching his ears or feeling heavy on his nose. This led him to create a line of high-quality, precision-made sunglasses perfect for pilots, golfers, and sailors.
The Scheyden Precision Eyewear collection is a result of Jeff's meticulous research, which led him to the skilled craftsmen of Fukui, Japan, known for producing some of the finest eyewear globally. These sunglasses feature lightweight, strong titanium frames that are hypoallergenic and resistant to deterioration from sweat and body oils. The use of titanium ensures that the frames are both durable and comfortable for extended wear. Scheyden's mineral glass lenses offer the highest optical clarity available, making them an excellent choice for outdoor sports and activities. For those who need prescription lenses, CR-39 plastic lenses are an available alternative.
The first products in the Scheyden lineup, such as the Avalon, Fixed Gear Albatross, Fixed Gear Maverick, Revelry, and Revelstoke, quickly gained recognition among pilots and outdoor enthusiasts. The term “Fixed Gear” refers to aircraft without retractable landing gear, a fitting name for these sturdy sunglasses. The USAF Thunderbirds have also embraced Scheyden eyewear, with both mechanics and pilots favoring the Maverick model for its performance and comfort. With a mission statement dedicated to delivering precision for those whose lifestyles demand it, Scheyden continues to provide some of the finest handcrafted eyewear available.
