Definately SERENGETI. I have had a pair for 12 months now. Used them during dark, gloomy IFR flying equaly as well as above OVC, glarey white stuff. Also, flying in and out of cloud as well as dark and light patches of cloud the instrument panel is still very clearly visible. Great for distinguishing different cloud layers and other traffic. Walking into darkish buildings from a very glarey day outside, you forget you are waring them!!! Get wrap-arounds as they stop harmfull light entering the side, although they do have a coating on the inside of the lens to absorb this. They also change tint depending on the light at the time.

They retail at around A$300 but if you go into the shop in uniform, they will give you a discount to about A$250. But you might have to go to an airport store rather than your usual suburban store.
