Sunglasses

I couldn't disagree more with whoever says to buy the cheapest
available. You only have one pair of eyes, and there's lots of bad rays
out there.

I tried a half dozen pilot-recommended brands and the winner was
Serengeti. Wonderful optics, doesn't scratch easily, great protection,
light and comfortable.

Ditto on the Serengeti recommendation. I find them particularly useful
late in the day when going "up sun" and for picking out the best
looking clouds through the haze. I've worn these for about 10 years
now; they replaced a pair of Ray Bans. I go with the Aviator Style -
geeky looking as all hell but wide enough to eliminate all but a small
amount of light infiltration from the sides. Those of you worried
about style can find Serengetis in other more fashionable
configurations.

I like both the Serengeti's and the SunTigers.

I use a combination of Serengeti "Driver tent" Aviator style on bright
days and SunTigers on days that are overcast or very hazy. The
SunTigers cut the haze better than anything else I have used. I often
carry both pairs and switch based on light and haze condtions.

My vote (and my $) go to Serengeti. The drivers tint helps bring the
contrast between clouds and sky into view. Not as good in low angle sun
conditions as some, such as the Costa Del Mar's that they replaced (got
crushed in the door of the truck). Good in shadow or direct sun.

I'll have to throw my hat into the Serengeti ring as well. Very high
quality for the price, I am a satisfied multiple repeat customer.
