Design

Like we stated earlier- the simple design is what makes this model really stand out from the rest. It has a cupped shape that specially contours to the shape of your face. These cups that are placed over your eyes make it so that you have the ability to fully open your eyes while wearing it, but still be immersed in total darkness. Some find that products that press against your eyes and don’t give you the full ability to open your eyes can become distracting and actually keep you from falling asleep.

Due to the fact that this model doesn’t have any special contouring around the eyes or the nose- it is able to fit most faces.

It has a large profile so it is able to fit most faces and successfully block out all of the light so that your next airplane ride will be shrouded in darkness.

Additional Features
