Need some non polarized shades to fly in, looking for something that isn't just a 10 dollar pair of gas station shades. Also needs to be pretty plain frames.

What say ye outdoor board?

Yeah if anyone doesn't feel like reading the link

Some avionics displays get blocked by polarized lenses.

I wear Randolph's with the AGX lens. I've had AO and Ray Ban's, and the Randolph lens blows them away, very solidly built as well. Take care of them and they will last a long time, mine are 5 years old, worn daily and look good as new.

Glad to hear they hold up, had looked at those but they're pricey for sure

Have you tried polarized lenses? My flight displays are the old tube style and I can see everything just fine in my Costas.

No but I've been told polarized lenses don't work with our displays by the guys already flying
