What eye protection do you use? Do you find that the wind makes your eyes a little red and sore?
- No protection?
- Helmet visor?
- Ordinary prescription glasses?
- Ordinary sunglasses?
- Modern wrap-around-lens sunglasses?
- Health & safety goggles with padded frames like the Bolle Tracker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dj6LXj-yQXo&t=13s ?
(Have you sealed up the air vents to help prevent your eyes watering?)
- Old-style "WWI ace" flying goggles?
- Motorcycle goggles?
What kind of lens shading do you use?
- Clear
- Amber
- Smoked
- Other?
Do you have a spare pair of clear-lens eyewear for those overcast, dull days? Or do you fly with shades even on low-light days?
I have just bought a pair of Bolle Prism safety glasses that have a detachable gasket (a sub-frame that has vents and padding to seal the glasses and make them like flying goggles). I have taped over the air intakes to stop the air blasting through and making my eyes water.
I bought the Bolle glasses from the local safety equipment store because they are about six times cheaper than name-brand sunglasses.
