Default Great Sunglasses

I bought a pair of Eagle Eyes polarized glasses with readers for the
better soaring visibility. It was then that I discovered that my
CAI-302 was one of those with the improperly polarized glass. Couldn't
see it without craning my neck or removing the glasses.

Taking advantage of the ClearNav offer to trade the 302 for a CNv-XC.
Should get it next week!

Of course everyone has their favorites. If you prefer polarized lenses as I do (they improve contrast for picking out gliders and other traffic, spotting haze domes and convergence lines, etc.), then finding quality sun readers is a little more challenging.

I have been very happy with Suncloud readers. The "Conductor" is my style of choice. They are available on Amazon for about $80. ( http://www.amazon.com/Suncloud-Condu...ncloud+readers ) The Quality and clarity are very good. Polarization angle in each lens is well aligned, and the reading lenses are well positioned for the panel.

Many folks may have concerns about polarized distortion through the canopy, or difficulty in reading electronic instruments, but I have experienced none of this. I fly with a V7, a Colibri II in portrait orientation, an Oudi II (sunlight readable), and a FlarmView display.
