SUN GLASSES

Suggestion: Buy a pair of polarized cheap sun glasses (sounds like a ZZ Top song). Then try them in your cockpit. If you like them, only they buy a nice polarize pair.

If I remember correctly in aviation catalogs I only see non-polarized. I read at Sporty's the following;

--- Why we don't sell polarized sunglasses ---
Many sunglasses today are polarized, meaning they use an optical filter to reduce glare. While this is fine for fishing or driving, it's a bad idea for pilots. That's because many cockpit instruments and glass panels have polarized faces, and polarized sunglasses will render these unreadable. In addition, the iPad screen will be blacked out in portrait orientation when wearing polarized sunglasses. Sporty's sells a wide variety of high quality sunglasses that do an excellent job of reducing glare--but without polarization.

I use non-polarized Serengeti's. The better question is ... what tint is recommended for the lenses? Brown? Green? Gray? Yellow? Chartreuse?
