Sunglasses?

That's what I initially thought, too, but it doesn't really do that. They
cut down but don't eliminate glare. The only problem I have spotting
traffic is that I fly a Pitts which has sod-all visibility anyway! I can
still see the top wing with my polarized glasses on though!

Whatever you like, but avoid polarized sunglasses.

They are my favorites. I almost always wear polarized bifocals on
sunshiny days. They also work well in haze.

Interesting. After numerous times of seeing threads warning against
polarized sunglasses, one instance finally shows up where someone (and
three people, so far, in this case) defends polarization.

That said, I agree with CJ. There are a number of reasons to avoid
polarization, all of which have been stated before. But for me, the one
that matters the most is that polarization cuts glare reflected from other
airplanes. Since very often, my first (and sometimes only) notice of
other traffic in the air with me is the reflection of sunlight from the
aircraft, I definitely would not like for that reflection to be eliminated
by polarized sunglasses.
