Sunglasses?
 
Which ones, and why? My 30-year-old RayBans are too heavy and I look like a certain 5'7" Scientologist. Discuss.

Dude, RayBans are back in style with the hipsters. Hang on to that Members only jacket and braided belt too. Seriously though, Serangettis.

Whatever you end up getting if you fly anything other than steam gauges stay away from polarized lenses.

Spy's happy lens collection is lightweight, durable and good quality.

Crap! Wife just donated that Member's Only jacket while I was on a trip! Which Serengeti's?

Yep! Lady at eye dr. told me that yesterday...I wouldn't have thought of it until it was too late.

RayBan Wayfarers when I want to look cool, RayBan Aviators when I want to look cool.
But, I'm partial to RayBans.

Awesome! I just am having a hard time with my Aviator glass lenses these days...too heavy. Maybe I'll give the Wayfarer's a look. Those Spy's Happy lenses are intriguing too, but I think polarized.

I'm a ray ban guy too. I like the plastic frame dark green lens (I don't know the model number) aviators.

Depends on the aircraft headset too. If the one in your A/C is light and small, or you don't wear one, Wayfarers are great. If you wear David Clark's, not so much.

My Aviators are extremely light, I've had them about 6 months now. They've been fantastic, I love the shade, but they are prescription.

For cloudy days, my RayBan eyeglasses have transition lenses that do a decent job as well.
