I got the rayban 8305. They are carbon fiber and really light and they cover more than the regular aviator glasses

I'm looking at a pair of Ray Ban Cockpit sunglasses with either the Classic Green lenses or the Green Flash lenses. Can anyone tell me if there is any difference between the lenses other than the "look" of them? Thanks!

I wear Ray Ban Clubmasters. They're just the glasses I like and I don't always need to jam the emergency action sunshade into the sunscreen rail when flying east in the morning.

Randolph Engineering or Ray Bans are my pick. I have the Ray ban 4179 models, polarized carbon fiber "Litetech" in a slight wrap around, fit great under headsets with no pressure points

Oakley C-wires. light, come in non polarized (sometimes hard to find) not so small that they dont work, but not the huge hipster size 2 liter bottles. Pretty comfortable under a headset as well.

Another +1 for serengeti's. Have had 2 pair. I tend to be rough on things, first pair got ruined to a lot of use in a motorcycle helmet.

I can't do the Ray Bans, the sun getting in from behind creates the most annoying glare and it drives me nuts. I have the Oakley Batwolf with American flag bling non-polarized and wraps all the way around my eyes so there's none of that annoying glare.
