Best sunglasses for flying?

Why is this? I know that polarized lenses cause weird problems with
LCD panels, but how do polarized lenses make the aircraft instruments
harder to see?

I have also read that polarized lenses are bad because they block out
the glare off other aircraft and therefore make it more difficult to
quickly spot other traffic because the glare off of some surface of the
other plane is normally the first thing you notice.

I always figured I had the best and cheapest sunglasses in the world:
an AOPA ballcap with the brim slanted exactly at the top of my specs.
(To be sure, I sit in the back seat of a Cub, so I don't get as much
light as the guy in front. On the other hand, it has L-4 glazing, so a
lot is coming in from the top and sides.)

Then one day I walked under the aileron horn, got a bad laceration,
concussion, and trip to the hospital.

Now I throw my "sunglasses" onto the seat with my other gear while I'm
walking around the plane, pre- and post-flight.

I think I owned my 172 for about 3 weeks before I got the dreaded Cessna
Tattoo on my forehead. Happened the Saturday before a week of sales calls so
I had a lot of opportunities to explain what that funny-looking welt on my
noggin was.

sit on them.

Simple. Don't put them in your back pocket.
