All,

I'm picking out a new pair of sunglasses for soaring and I had a few
questions.

Has anyone had problems seeing their PDA while flying with Polarized
lenses?

Is anyone flying with Oakley black iridium polarized lenses?

Thanks,

You should be able to see your PDA wearing polarized sunglasses, but
you may need to rotate your head though 90 degrees to read what's on
the screen! Plain tints are probably better. Yellow to brown tints
seem best at cutting through haze and highlighting clouds.

It's not a question of the overall tint, but rather that the lens is a
strong blue attenuator, i.e. that most (but not all!) of the blue light
is filtered out. Granted every blue attenuator will have a brownish
overall colour, but not every brownish lens is a blue attenuator.

Personally I wear Zeiss Skylet lenses and couldn't be happier. Not only
do they have a well tuned colour filter, but they also are optically
perfect. However they are pretty costly, so you should only consider
them if you don't tend to sit on your glasses.
