Re: sunglasses????
I tried the zurich sunglasses and they worked good. But I wear a hat when I fly and they were a little too big for comfort. I use oakley's now, but any good polarized sunglass should work.

Re: sunglasses????
i have a sunglass store at a mall here in town that i was about to buy some good oakleys at. after talking to a person that works there and even a customer that was going to replace a stolen pair of glasses i bought some "maui jim's". they are just fantastic. they are polarized and extremely light. can't tell you are wearing them. i like them even better than oakley's.

Re: sunglasses????
Thanks for the info... I guess polarized glasses is the ticket, I just wouldn't have thought that, I figured polarized is for the water glare

Re: sunglasses????
NYX Sport Sunglasses - I bought them several years ago from Piedmont Models, and they come equipped with 3 interchangeable lenses for different sky conditions for $59 in a nice case. You can also get them directly from NYX. What's really nice for those of us who wear prescription sunglasses, is that you can order a prescription insert that snaps into the lens/frame. It fits behind the sunglass lens.

Re: sunglasses????
I used to have the zurichs but these are much better, really brightens things up and there is no glare.
The Black Iridium are awesome http://oakley.com/pd/4672
