I used to work with an airshow team.. our lead pilot had polarized glasses that worked when he was seated in the cockpit. Aerobatic planes = tiny cockpits for the most part.. He'd flown for almost a year with those lenses, then one year at Fair St. Louis, he had the lenses on, and leaned into the cockpit to fire up the radios so he could check with the airboss to see that the show was on schedule. He never put his helmet on, so he couldn't hear the radio, just saw nothing on the faceplate. Long story short: he sure felt sheepish when the avionics tech told him there was nothing wrong with the radio at all.

So, agreed.. no polarized lenses unless you're flying around looking for marijuana fields.
