Maui Jims for me. I don't go out without them.

I use Uvex safety glasses with the mirrored tint. They seem to work good for me.

<<snip>> ... At tmes its almost better to take the sun and squint.
Thanks,
Erik
I never fly looking into the sun, and I never wear sunglasses while flying RC.

I have prescription polarized sunglasses, only wear them when I'm driving into the sun - but I'll pull off & stop until sunset, by preference.

Just my 2ΒΆ worth,

I just cut the bottoms out of 2 bud-lites and epoxed them together. Never did find my plane. Maybe I should have used the Miller-lite.

I have UV3 polarized sunglasses; they are amazing! I use them all day, even until maybe 7-7:30 - the plane just stands out so much more with them on; it's so much easier to see the orientation, keeps the wind and sun out of my eyes. I love wearing them (any polarized probably for that matter) when I fly.

My regular prescription frames are Chesterfields and they come with magnetic "clip" on polarized sunglass lenses. I always wear a hat, usually full brimmed, that helps a lot also.

I just purchased the Zurich sunglasses. They are nothing short of amazing and are the BEST pair of sunglasses I've ever owned! I thought the price was a bit steep, but not for the quality you get.

Yup, Nathan. Zurich's are the greatest. I have prescription glasses and the Zurich's that fit right over them are fantastic. Those that have never tried them ought to. Absolutely the best.
