Hi,
has anyone comparison of those sunglasses? I'd like to buy one of
these, however not quite sure which are best for soaring

Thanks in advance,

I'm using Skylet 80% glasses since many years, very good, you can see
the haze caps developing in blue thermals.

When flying a lot in sunny conditions over snow covered areas, you might
want to consider the 90% variant. For all other situations 80% is
sufficient.

Thank you for your comment Peter. I see that Zeiss recommends 90% for flying.

Can you tell us the color of your irises? Blue eyed people are more photophobic than brown eyed people. Perhaps this explains your preference for 80% lenses?

I have four pairs of Zeiss sunglasses. Two with 80% light reduction
and two with 70%. I think the 70% works perfect under all soring
conditions, but probably not so good for skiing. The 70% is recomended

I really like the "Silhouette Rimless"-style together with a typical
soaring hat. I ordered a pair with anti glare and anti reflex from
http://www.brillen-kueppers.de/, but I cant' find that model anymore.
