Hi Everyone,
So I am looking for some new sunglasses for the coming season (mine
have seen some rough times of late.) - and was wondering what
peoples experiences where on the subject. I remember seeing some
discussions before but cant recall details. Specifically what are your

We have just introduced a range of sunglasses designed for soaring pilots.
They are a wrap around style for UV protection, have interchangeable lenses
for different light conditions.
Lenses are polycarbonate and shatterproof.
There is five styles including one that has a clip in prescription
So what sunglasses are people using these days for gliding. I need bifocals
and I have a current script. Have used various blue blockers over recent years
and found them to be very good. I like the dark brown (tan?) rather than the
red/orange.

There was a long

Ben,
If you can use straight (ie non-prescription) sunnies you can't go
better than Sun-Tigers with yellow tint. If you need prescription
lenses then go for Zeiss SkyPol in bi-focal format. They offer a nice
brown tint which is fine for most eyes. For a current review of

I purchased a pair of cycling sunglasses for Triathelon training, they are
excellent. Have a great wrap around lens, shielding your eyes from the sun
when sidelit and are supplied with a
lating to Soaring in Australia.

it's easy. Just buy a pair that suit you.
