The newest product material is thinner, more lightweight, and can withstand higher temperatures (Cessna T206).
All Jet Shades products offer excellent optical clarity and ease of installation, and new versions are no exception. Jet Shades will offer the new product in two variations: High-Visibility and Premium, both of which block 99.9 percent of UV-A and UV-B and exceptionally reduce heat transmission. The Premium upgrade will substantially increase the filtering of infrared and visible light.
Jet Shades also offers a Professional Series of their product, starting with the Cessna Citation models. In addition to a unique mounting system, the set includes Cruising Shade, which are movable panels usable when flying at high altitudes.
An interesting option is the laser engraving on the shade itself to personalize your set. I’ve installed Gen 2 sets on the Citations we fly for our personal and business flights, and we are very pleased with the results. Whenever Tigre
and I fly a plane without them, we always comment on how we miss them in the cockpit.
Now in the fourth year of production, Jet Shades has sold thousands of its products in a variety of aircraft. Knowing Kevin and his team, they will continue to expand and innovate their product line in the future.
