At Airventure this year I somehow misplaced my favorite Serengeti glasses. I searched around looking for a dealer selling sunglasses, and wound up buying a pair of Hazebuster bifocal sunglasses from a vendor in one of the exhibit halls. I quickly found that I had stumbled upon my new favorite pair of glasses.
The Hazebusters have a very similar tint to the Serengeti glasses I am used to. I found that I could not detect any difference in my ability to read fine cloud details with either glasses. The Hazebusters, however, have the added advantage of molded-in reading lenses. While I like the convenience of the Oprix stick-on reading lenses, I found that the built-in reading lenses of the Hazebuster glasses provided a much smoother transition from long to close distance viewing.
Hazebuster claims that their lenses block 100% of both UVA and UVB rays. The lenses are not polarized, meaning that there is no interference with in-cockpit displays. The Hazebuster's acrylic lenses offer good impact and scratch resistance. Available in a number of styles and magnifications, Hazebusters are available for between $55 and $65 directly from the manufacturer's web site.
See you on the porch, Bill.
