Sunglasses for flying

A topic that comes up fairly frequently. I fly with American Optical non-polarized aviators:

AO used to make the sunglasses issued to the Air Force and America’s astronauts. That contract is now in the hands of Randolph Engineering, who makes essentially identical sunglasses, and charges more for them. As to the polarized vs. non-polarized debate, I stick with non-polarized. It’s what the FAA recommends, and doesn’t conflict with polarized visors in motorcycle helmets, etc. Works for me. YMMV.

I used to be able to get the AOs for a pretty good price (in 2018, $52.41!).
