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.

Since sunglass type has only a marginal effect on detecting threatening
aircraft, I'm curious: is this the start of a search for improved
separation from other aircraft, or near the end of it, because your
glider already has in it a transponder, Zaon MRX, and a pilot
well-trained in scanning techniques, ATC communications, and
arrival/departure paths?
