Aviators - the real deal?
I need to get a pair of prescription sunglasses to help me see and avoid, but being a complete fashion numpty, I also like to avoid making decisions relating to things I wear. This is an attempt to circumvent the agonising process of choosing a pair of frames.
OK, so now 'they say' that you should wear metal framed, non-polarising sunglasses when flying. It seems sensible to me too, that large lenses promote good vision, so it follows that the aviator style fits the bill nicely.
Unfortunately, I see the fashion industry have often used Aviator-style glasses to make some statement, which immediately puts me off. I hate to be a victim of the fashion industry, however, if there is a sound and reasoned argument that this design is founded on practical principles, I am happy to brush aside aspersions of fashion victimhood.
What's the collective PPRuNe opinion on this? Are Aviators 'the thing' for the job?
