I'm getting new sun glasses, should I get Polarized or not, what works best for flying gliders???
The ones I'm looking at are also anti-glare lenses.

If you use _ANY_ electronics in the cockpit at all (even a digital-
display variometer), you do _NOT_ want polarized lenses. The lenses
will appear to "black-out" those displays at some (or all) viewing
angles. Also, some canopy materials will cause them to look like a
checkerboard when viewed through polarized lenses. I won't bore you
with the science/physics, but in general you're best off with non-
polarized lenses for aviation use.
