RE: [RCSE] Any good sunglasses..??
I have to say (fwiw) that I've had much better luck with lighter, also Used to use some dark generics, but I had (and I'm fairly young) trouble keeping an eye on my plane. I've switched to some wrap around Oakley's with brownish lenses, not too dark - helps a ton. I think it also shows me lift*, but I don't want to troll... . : ) brent * of course, I avoid THAT stuff like the plague... RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

I agree on the wrap around Oakleys. I prefer the VR28 color that they have available in almost all of their lines of glasses. Try them, you might just like them as well.

Re: [RCSE] Any good Sunglasses ?
For North Americans wearing prescription glasses, the easiest is to go to Wall Mart and buy the ones they carry for wearing over prescription glasses. They are called something like Wear Over and come with grey or brown lenses, are polarized and come in several sizes to match your head and glasses.

Re: [RCSE] Any good Sunglasses ?
I use an amber safety type for when it is overcast, works very well to bring out the contrast. But for normal sunny days I just use a $10 pair that I picked up at a discount store. Make sure they filter 100% UV. Color of lens seem to make a difference in visibility. And as you can tell it seems like personal preference as to the posts. I have also used polarized glasses and like them very much, seem to cut out some of the haze. However none were on sale when I was looking last time. Fishing glasses, which are polarized, have worked well for me in the past and you can usually get those for under $10. The cheaper ones do seem to scratch easier, but if you are easy on them I expect to get close to 2-3 years on them before I lose them or break them. (Except my fishing ones just plain wore out.)

Re: [RCSE] Any good Sunglasses ?
I use perscription glasses. I've had the Drivers and loved them, other than the price. I debated strongly over them and Suntiger. I ended up with the Suntigers. They are lighter (physically) and have lots going for them. It took some time getting used to them as they are polarized. I have to take them off to program a radio since you can't see the digital images. As to whether I'd buy them again, I'm not sure. I really did like my Drivers, but I enjoy the polarization when fly fishing (which isn't often lately!) gv yet_another_51 wrote: Hi, This is my first post here ... and its about sunglasses.

Re: [RCSE] Any good Sunglasses ?
Serengeti Drivers are superb. They enhance contrast without changing relative color. Mine are photosensitive and change from a medium tint to a dark. Corning developed the contrast-enhancing color for NASA. Of course like anything top-notch they aren't cheap! -- Greg Smith Slope Soaring Resource http://www.slopeflyer.com From: yet_another_51 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2002 14:15:13 - To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [RCSE] Any good Sunglasses ?
