Anyone know a good brand of sunglasses for flying? Seems flying in the
Atlanta area the glare always mandates the use of sunglasses. A good
pair
that cuts the glare but has arms to keep the sound out.

Any suggestions?


Whatever you like, but avoid polarized sunglasses.


I disagree, Chris.

Polarized glasses really cut through the haze when flying into the sun on
really hazy days. I never had much problem with the LCD display issue that
is bandied about.

Otherwise, I really prefer my Serengeti's with the amber lens before I
dropped the things from a height of only two feet and they BROKE IN HALF at
the nose. Very good quality lens but I won't buy them again.

As for reviews, there was a sunglasses review posted here a couple of years
ago. The lenses were rated for clarity, UV blocking and all the other
characteristics people want in quality glasses.

Oakley's X-Metal were the "best" but cost mega bucks. Plain ol' Foster
Grant available from Wal-Mart were ranked very good so that's what I've been
wearing and am pleased.
