Only issue so far is slight fogging with face shield down, we'll see how winter goes
Best glasses I’ve owned. Durable and great looking.

As an active airline pilot I have flown for years with ray bans and have always had issues with headset sealing but let me tell you about these bad boys. Not only are the the most comfortable thing I’ve ever worn with a headset, they’re comfortable with the ship headsets too. No seal interference and no excess noise intrusion. The lens's quality is amazing and provides excellent glare reduction at all altitudes and even when in direct sun. I would hands down recommend these to any pilot, anytime, anywhere. On the side I also am a mechanic and let me tell you that even with as flexible as the frames are they always stay right where you put them and never slip or fall.
Picked up a pair of flying eyes sunglasses at Oshkosh this year. They are the best I’ve owned. I’m a big fan of Randolph aviators, but my new tortoise Kingfishers with gradient copper lenses outperform the Randolphs in several key ways. First, with the thin temples they are more comfortable under a headset. Second, the optics are noticibly better (I did an A vs B comparison on a sunny flight yesterday). I’m seriously considering a pair of prescription glasses for my backups to wearing contacts.
