If you are a pilot who uses both a headset and eyeglasses, what IFR
trainng device works and fits best for you? The generic foggles, like
Sporty's sells? The Jeppesen JeppShades Flip-Up hood? A particular
model of hood?

I use a flip-up device that clips on my glasses, I can't remember where I
got it or the brand. It's lightweight plastic, black, wraparound. They
look like Overcasters, now that I've looked at some pictures on a few
sites.

I've thought about the flip-up foggles that clip on glasses, but what I
have works, and is very, very light, which is important. You don't want a
lot of weight hanging in front of your glasses for hours, and they're very
easy to flip up and down for transitioning to and from instruments.
