If you use them, what is the best color for any given day?
Example: Sunny, Overcast, Hazy ?

Status: offline 		I have a hard time flying with sunglasses, I am just so used to flying without all my life. Was it hard for you guys to start using them? I hate to loose visibility, and I have tried zurichs on and flew my jet with them, but you cant see as much

I use the rose colored , that's what worked best for my eyes.

Also, I notice little to no loss of visibility, and what little loss there is (if any,) is made up for by the increase in visual acuity that you gain because of the lack of glare.

Status: offline 		I started to use them after an IMAC meet where I didn't use any at all. My eyes were burned and my vision was not the best after that day of flying and it made driving quite an ordeal. I use the Zurich's now and it wasn't that hard to get use to them and my eye sight is more important so use them now or pay for it later!!!

Status: offline 		I hve two pairs. Grey for Sunny days and Yellow for late in the evening or on heavy overcast days. I used to have a rose pair, but lost them.

I have to admit, I am a tough critic of these glasses. I think they are about the ugliest things you could possibly wear - BUT, they are so good, I chose to forgo fashion for performance.

I still wear my Oakley's when I am not flying ---- I may be a Dork, but let's not advertise!
