Sunglasses while hunting!

[sinawalli]

Does anyone wear sunglasses while hunting, either with a bow, or rifle? I find they sunny days very bright, and like to wear a pair of shades, but they can be a PITA, while trying to use binos, or a rangefinder. Thoughts anyone? Thanks!!

I wear glasses anyway, so learn to deal with it.
They're not NEARLY as cool as the pair that Dick284 got from Elvis though.....

Yes binos with eye relief slides make it easy to ajust and I wear Wiley X Tactical light ajusting shades they fit tight ajust to the sun and are used by the USMC and ARMY they gan withstand a 12 gauge blast at 10 yards they work great if you hunt with Dick Chenney or use binos and range finders set you back around 160 with shipping check them out.

I do not wear sunglasses, but I have another trick. I do the same thing when playing back catcher for ball. Go to a sports store and look for the eye black that atheletes put under their eyes. You can get the stuff that looks like black chap stick, but it can smudge on your binos and anything else you put up to your face.

I use the ones that are like stickers. I have been using it for years in sports and find it works great for taking the glare of the sun off my eyes without having sunglasses under my mask.

I use the ones that are black on this page. Sorry I couldn't find a better illustration.

My bino's have adjustable eye cups so it is no problem

Can't see through the centre over the nose area when I'm shootin' a bow and same for a balaclava type touque if it has material between the eyes.......hope I don't have to wear prescription glasses any time soon.

I wear a pair of Espressos from MEC. I swap out the lenses for the type of hunting. Polarized amber when shotgunning for birds, polarized orange when I carry the rifle, and darker brown for the really bright days.

I've tried polarized yellow tint for in the bush during low light days. I like the increased contrast.
