I use now Oakley, as a lot of pilots I know. Looks aside, they have
great
optics.
The Randolph Engineering sunglasses are also great, classic looks and
very
good optics. Not very expensive as well.
Ray Ban are also a good bet, in my experience.
Look for good UV filtering, good contrast, no color alteration, and
feel
comfortable with them (good brightness filtering)

A survey done a couple of years ago in South Africa found the cheap
sunglasses bought from road side vendors offered superior UV protection
than Ray Bans and a few other top end brands. Still love my Ray Bans
for their nuetral colour tones. Just hate putting them down in the
cockpit when working around the glider because I know I will sit on
them sometime.
