In another thread, some folks mention flying with these "light

So... what experience do others have with these types of lenses?

I have used glass ones and, more recently, the plastic ones. They all
suffer from the same problem in that they are very temperature
sensitive. Mine go black on a cold ski slope but hardly darken at all
in Arizona summer temperatures.

I tolerate them so I don't have to keep changing glasses but use the
Sun Tigers for soaring.
