I am partial to the large gold framed Ray Ban aviatiors. I use half jackets for shooting and other outdoor stuff, but they don't work too well with a headset. The aviator's thin frame really helps prevent headaches.

Serengettis. The lenses are so good and the frames so comfortable that I sometimes forget that I have them on even at night. I've had numerous Ray Bans, Costa del Mar, Oakleys etc. & I've never been happier with any lense.

I have a set of coloreyes that I just bought. They are not polarized and they have a real thin titanium frame that you dont even notice under the headset. They are pricey though at around 200 bucks or so. I have no problem with the king MFD or the G1000s

I have looked at the Coloreyes before. They look like a nice product, although a little pricey for work IMO

They are definately pricey. I bought mine from work for $140.00 and then they later found out they were selling them at cost. I think actual retail is closer to $200.00. I think they are a great set of glasses though and like all of you, I sit in a cockpit 6+ hours per day staring at the sun so I think it is an investment in my eyes in the longrun. I had been using a set of Smiths for 60.00 that I bought 6 years ago, but they are no wheres near as nice and they break the seal on my bose. I have no idea about the warranty though of coloreyes. The set I have are frameless and the ear pieces have no hinges, they just flex so I am not sure if they will warp or bend in the future. For 200.00 they better hope they are replacing them
