I have heard from time-to-time that Sun Tiger sunglasses work well for
soaring. Since I fly within 30 miles of the 1/10th busiest airport in
the world, anything that will increase my chances of seeing another
aircraft is something I want to take advantage of. It also turns out
that Sun Tigers are local, and not particularly expensive.
Opinions either pro or con are welcomed.
Thanks,

I buy safety glasses at Wal-Mart for $4.79 ... lens colors range from
yellow, light orange, and dark orange ... I typically bring yellow and
one of the orange pairs in the ship depending on how much cu I
expect ... material is polycarbonate so they absorb 100% of UV and
offer impact protection ... they are light weight and temples are
adjustable and the frames are camy colored so they look ok for the
style conscious ... I add stick on magnifiers to assist reading ...
price is so cheap so I have a half dozen backups ... I went the
expensive sunglass route prior - fine if you have a demanding optical
requirement or ego - but this works out great on a bunch of levels.
Your experience may differ.
