I am thrilled with them, they are red/pink which doesn't abolish colour vision (but makes green paddocks a bit browner) but I find I can quickly spot aircraft much more easily than before (and they will probably see haze domes).
A much more cheap alternative to the Zeiss which sound excellent, these were $199.

<x-tad-smaller>There was a long discussion on sunglasses recently. As a consequence I have purchased via my optometrist sunglasses with Zeiss Skylet lenses with 80% absorption (middle of the 70%, 80%, 90% options), a brownish tint and a bifocal element for instrument/dashboard reading. So far they show up as fantastic for general use in that they produce stunning clarity from near to the far horizon in the prime field of view combined with the eye feeling very comfortable whilst in the outside bright glare. Such eye comfort I haven't experienced outdoors before. They were not cheap, but then again they are simply heaps better (dare I say an order of magnitude) than an earlier pair of prescription sunnies from the same optometrist which I have used for some time.</x-tad-smaller>
<x-tad-smaller>Visibility of clouds, aircraft, etc. are obviously much enhanced. However I can't say that there might not be better sunnies for gliding for a particular individual available from another source.</x-tad-smaller>
<x-tad-smaller>Thanks to Jim Kelly, Graham the opto, Cath & others for the earlier discussion.</x-tad-smaller>
