Peregrine Titanium Narrow with Bifocal Lenses

I own the golden eagle narrow , kestrel (cooper narrow) and now the peregrine narrow. All the bifocal configuration .

For reference I wear a 7” long oval in a cowboy hat ( sometimes it’s hard to get a reference with a med/small face)

The golden eagle are great for motorcycles , but the available field between reg and mag is fairly small so a little disconcerting in the cockpit.

The cooper narrow have a better field of reg/mag for piloting but harder to wear outside the cockpit because the temple tension isn’t sufficient to keep an errant gust from blowing them off your face.

The peragrine narrow has much the same field as the cooper with mag/reg and is now my go to pair for overall wear. It has enough tension at the temple to wear outside the cockpit , where in windy conditions they stay put. They are very comfortable and the reg/mag transition is perfect for reg outside the cockpit and just move your eyes down and POP the mag lets you actually see the numbers on your avionics. I can still read a sign at 1/2 mile, but he closer , the harder , the optometrist calls it “ early onset short arm disorder, you can’t hold it far enough out to read “.

Wholeheartedly recommend these to other aviators , though I’d recommend the golden eagle to riders .

The temple pieces on all of them are FAR better than Randolph or other issue aviator when it comes to headset/helmet/ or ballcap comfort . I think this is the defining feature of flying eyes.

Full disclosure I did receive a military discount on the glasses ( not free, basically covered shipping ) and in no way had an impact on my review .

Overall I really like these glasses. My Lightspeed DZ headsets still seal properly, they are comfortable to wear, and they look great. The bifocal portion of the lens is high when I wear the glasses normally and need to slide them down on my nose. Otherwise these are excellent!!

Fit and finish are great. Light weight and work well with a headset or motorcycle helmet. The bifocal feature is set too low on the lenses, which leads to having your charts held low (iPad) or tilting your head up excessively to read gauges or MFD. Hopefully, my optometrist will be able to fit prescription lenses!

Love the lightweight aspect and the slightly stiffer frames. I do prefer the style of the kestrels slightly better. My big disappointment, though, is the temples. My frames are pictured with black temples on the website, but they came with tortoise colored temples. When I emailed to see if I could get some black temples, there has just been a delay in a viable response. This seems like a very easy fix, especially considering the Kost and the website photos showing black temples.
