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.
Thanks,

I've been using Suntigers for at least 10 years now. For me they work
great. In spite of blue being black, color distorsion never got in my
way. It is amazing how well the brain compensates. I wear bifocals.
Suntiger just makes them to my prescription (I did send them a frame
and a drawing where to put the split). I also have nothing but
positive things to say about how they deal with customers.

There are couple of types on their web site http://www.suntiger.com/,
with and without polarization and anti reflecting coating. Which one
is most suitabe?

Ones I am using are not polarized. Personally (and others will
disagree) I do not like polarized glasses in cockpit. Too many
artifacts with displays and even canopy.

Cheers,
Henryk Birecki
