These have been popular in the soaring community for years, they really
enhance contrast in hazy conditions and give excellent UV protection

That's what I initially thought, too, but it doesn't really do that.
They cut down but don't eliminate glare.


Sunglasses should make it easier to see other traffic. Any reduction in
the visibility of other traffic, whether it's to cut the glare completely
or simply to reduce it, is a negative in my book, since that's counter to
one of the purposes of a pair of sunglasses.

The only problem I have spotting traffic is that I fly a Pitts which has
sod-all visibility anyway! I can still see the top wing with my
polarized glasses on though!


For me, it's more a matter of seeing *other* airplanes' wings, not those
on my own.
