Best sunglasses for flying?

I always figured I had the best and cheapest sunglasses in the world:
an AOPA ballcap with the brim slanted exactly at the top of my specs.
(To be sure, I sit in the back seat of a Cub, so I don't get as much
light as the guy in front. On the other hand, it has L-4 glazing, so a
lot is coming in from the top and sides.)

Then one day I walked under the aileron horn, got a bad laceration,
concussion, and trip to the hospital.

Now I throw my "sunglasses" onto the seat with my other gear while I'm
walking around the plane, pre- and post-flight.

all the best -- Dan Ford

I think I owned my 172 for about 3 weeks before I got the dreaded Cessna
Tattoo on my forehead. Happened the Saturday before a week of sales calls so
I had a lot of opportunities to explain what that funny-looking welt on my
noggin was.

sit on them.

Simple. Don't put them in your back pocket.
