When the search for a pair of sunglasses that fit comfortably under a noise-canceling headset proved fruitless, Dean Siracusa, the founder of Flying Eyes, decided to take matters into his own hands. He developed a pair of sunglasses with convertible temples, which allowed the pilot to remove the hard temples and replace them with a thin fabric strap that slipped easily under a headset without breaking the noise-canceling seal. Expanding on his idea, Siracusa recently introduced a new line of sunglasses with temples so thin and flexible that they too slip easily under the cups of a headset or inside a tight helmet.
