Okay, I asked this earlier, and got several good responses. I even wrote the place down. Then I lost the piece of paper, followed by my mind.

What are good sunglasses? The concensus was that the "over glasses" version were the best?

Thanks! BTW, I searched and found nothing....didn't we just talk about this?

See Ya

I Like Silencio Wraps. They fit well (at least on me), are cheap (about $10 wholesale) and are impact resistant. Come in various colors including clear and yellow which latter I use as shooting glasses at the range when the dark tint is not working.
The US military used to use "Gargoyles" a few years back, don't know what the standard issue is now.

BluBlocker!!

Great for in your face blinding light & glare!
High resolution, blocks out UV & blue light rays too!

Yeah, and they found out that blocking out the blue light is BAD for your eyes too!

I like the Zurich glasses, a recomendation from Bob Smiley. Reasonable prices and they even cater to model flyers. Website is:

I hated blueblockers, blue is my favorite color...

Walmart has Smith and Wesson shooting glasses about $10, that I prefer.

I called the folks at Zurich.....and ordered up a pair of the hot-rod, ultimate glare cutters....59.95. They came shipped FEDEX and
I tested them today while returning to NJ on the mis-named LIE, directly into the setting sun....they seem okay, and I was shipped the optional long and soft temple pieces, which made them tolerable. I generally cannot abide "over the glasses" stuff, but these seem okay. Thanks to those for the suggestion.
