Serengeti's - a sunglasses problem

Hi there

A quick question on the old subject of sunglasses again: After reading loads of peoples thoughts and recommendations I settled for a pair of Serengeti Velocity Titanium with the sienna gradient lens.

I loved the glasses but today I tried them out in direct sunlight for the first time. My vision was completely disrupted by blue haze, from a couple of spots when looking towards the sun to patches covering the whole lens when at an angle from the sun. I wouldn't use these for walking in direct sunlight, never mind in the cockpit. The problem seems to be the blue coating on the inside of the lens that I haven't noticed on the glasses in the shops (I bought these on line from the US (so cheap!)).

Has anyone else had these problems? It seems strange that so many people recommended the glasses and they have such a positive recommendation.

Any replies much appreciated

Cheers

Piggy
