Cool Sunglasses for Aviation - Oakleys

What is your opinion on the best Oakleys for aviation? Or indeed for that matter any other glasses with similar styling which are good for the cockpit environment.

I perviously owned a pair of Black Iridium Eyejackets that broke, and want to replace these with another pair of Oakleys having been very impressed with them. That particular lens was however too dark occassionally for less than bright environments, so a slightly greater lens transmission would be better.

What is the opinion on polarised lenses as well - Oakley certainly seem to have some well-reviewed ones compared to the competition, and their website features the results of a review by a US magazine called 'Pilot' that rates the Oakleys higher than all the competition.

All thoughts welcome...
