Which Sunglasses would you suggest?

Hi Fellas!!!

Looking to solve a problem I'm having with finding the right sunglasses.

I need a medium darkness, not too dark

I have a problem with side glare, so something that blocks the sides all together would be good. Basically, I don't want any extra light coming in around the lenses.

I would only wear them to fly and change over to normal shades after flying.

I've looked over the Zurich's, but want to see if there are any others you guys are using.

Re: Which Sunglasses would you suggest?

might want to do a search as this has been discussed a few times.......

for me, Zurichs distorted too much at the edges... I'm sure they are great glasses....just not for me....

I am wearing Oakley Juliets... i ABSOLUTELY LOVE them

Back when I was younger, I was sponsored by Revo, Bolle, and Ray Ban (not at the same time)
but these Oakleys are the best I have used

I have many different pairs and my favorite is the Oakley half jackets. Well worth the cost.

Anything Oakley is awesome. If you are going to use them for flying only, look into the new M-Frames. They will provide you with the most side vision protection.

I fly with these Versace's and get endless crap for it. But They are far and away the best lenses that I have flown with.

i flew with a pair of oakleys for 3 years now, and i could fly through the sun with NO problem!!
Just today i bought a pair of Oakley canteens. their pretty sweet. u also can customize the okley's with polorized lenses.. i havnt flown with polorized, but the normal lenses work fine for me..

I like my Maui Jims and also like the NYX Sport sunglasses. They're about $100 and have interchangable lenses to account for different lighting conditions. They're really lightweight and are pretty neat.

I have flown with Oakleys in the past, but prefer the aformentioned two.

Re: Which Sunglasses would you suggest?

Oakley's!!! You'll never go wrong. I have been flying with Oakley's the whole time. I'm on my 2nd pair cause I wore the other ones out. Had them for about 6 years. Now I have a new pair and I literally can fly into the sun and not have a problem seeing my plane. A guy came up to me once and asked how I can fly through the sun like I did. I said here try these. He was amazed. Looked straight into the hot as hell Georgia sun and never had a problem. The next weekend he came out to the field with the same Oakley's but different color frames. You cant beat Oakleys. They are worth the price!!!!
