Thanks Scott,<div>DriveWear is what my eye doctors office is pushing; but, I don't think they understand me when I say I fly model airplanes a 100 yards out and 400 feet up in the sky.</div><div><br></div><div>I always thought polarization was a good thing until I went back to straight clear lenses in my everyday glasses. A earlier poster is correct, with my polarized (non-studly) fit-overs on over my glasses, I have to read the LCD on my SD10 with my head turned sideways. Gas pumps with LCD's are darn near impossible to read.</div>
<div><br></div><div>DriveWear glasses are appealing because they change with conditions. Here in the inland northwest we fly mostly in bright sun while the coastal Northwest is frequently overcast. I, personally, have a very hard time seeing wings in overcast. The light adjusting technology of the Wiley-X glasses is interesting.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The money for Oakley's doesn't bother me, I'm just looking for something to fit my (flying) needs. So anybody with any other suggestions please chime in.</div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Honestly, I haven't tried them much in overcast conditions. I LOVE them in bright conditions. I have a feeling though that I will want to buy a pair of the black iridium lenses eventually. At the NATS, I had a pair of non-polarized grey lenses over my glasses during the overcast flights and I could really see my wings level much better. This was before the Oakleys so I'll have to do some experimentation. So far, it was worth the $400 I paid. The website shows they start at $150 but by the time you're done, it is quite a bit more expensive. My eye doctor had other choices that I was considering but cannot think of the name of them right now. If I find them, I'll send that link as well. They were considerably less expensive than the Oakleys and still looked studly.<div>
