Im looking for premuim quality, all rounder Sunglasses not just for flying ... not a designer pair and non polarized. any ideas ??
I tried for a long time find a 'universal' pair of sunglasses and experimented with about every name in the business. I came to the conclusion that they probably don't exist and bought myself two pairs: one for flying and one for ground/casual use.

When aviating, I use Oakley M-frames as they are light, comfortable, let very little light in around the sides and are available with virtually any type of lens you can think of. They are a bit extreme looking for general wear, especially if you've not got cricket whites/surf gear/ski pants on...

I have a pair of polarised plastic Ray-Bans for driving, etc. as they are great for glare reduction. I wouldn't fly commercially with them as you get interference fringes from the laminated cockpit windows and some types of LCD become un-viewable from certain angles.
