Default Sunglasses for soaring

I also use polarized sunglasses, not because of any particular preference
but just because the ones I got with my regular glasses happened to be
that way. I have also noticed no real problems. Sometimes I have to tilt
my head to get a clearer look at the GPS, but I don't do that very often
anyway. Another poster's comment about it masking the flashes off of other
aircraft's wings is has given me some pause though.










Actually, I think the result is just the opposite...



How often are a distant gliders wings "horizontal"?... almost never!



And the increase in contrast between the glider and the sky or clouds
while circling or on the run are substantial.
