Sunglasses for the more mature pilot

I guess that you don’t have an issue with wing reflections in a 172.

Hahah, brilliant! You’re right, in the Cessnas I fly wing reflection isn’t an issue. What you could to is to put these side ‘blinkers’ that are used not only by horses but also by mountaineers on your glasses. The problem is, they reduce your field of vision. I have some glacier goggles that have these things, don’t really know what they’re called.

Following @172driver I got myself another pair of these, but now with gradient shading. Brand is Silhouette, titanium, very light and thin legs, zero leaking of noise under the headset. In my case multifocals. Quite happy with them, for driving too. The only slight disadvantage is they are a little voluminous when folded because of the rounded glasses.

EDITED. Beware. I read that they are a little fragile. So that means they go well along with the Bose headsets
