Sunglasses?

I agree...

I use prescription bi's...

Polarized plus antiglare coatings...

YMMV...but I MUCH prefer the polarized.

No probs with a AirMap 1000...

I use them boating as well, in fact they are a must on the
water.........

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.

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

But... I only have one modern instrument, my Garmin 295 and I can see
the display in that quite well.

OTOH the radio in my car (Kenwood TMD700 144/440 MHz) has a blank
screen when I put them on.

I prefer them to any other type of glasses, BUT I'd want to try them
in any particular plane BEFORE flying.

I also wear photogray lenses in another pair, but found "Transitions"
(TM) to be useless.
