Tinted IFR Training Glasses
Pros
These are great to use on sunny days. I don't like fitting the clear ones over my sunglasses. So I use these tinted ones to reduce glare and eye strain from the sun.
Cons
I wish there was a hard case made for these.

Pros
Good foggels
Cons
Can't wear over my glasses.
General Comments
I thought I was going to have to give these to someone that did not use reading glasses as they wouldn't work over my glasses. But then I saw an add for the stick on reading lense kit. After putting them on the foggels, it is clear that they will work fine for me now.

Pros
Easy to use as expected. Precision frosting is spot on.
Cons
Seem a little fragile. A sturdy holding case would be nice. I'm often worried they will be crushed when not being used.
General Comments
I would buy them again.

Pros
Good price for the little instrument training that you need for Private. I bought these because they fit over my prescription glasses, and they did.
Cons
Nothing too special. The earpeices are adjustable, but were too loose and wouldn't hold the position you wanted. The did fit over my prescription glasses, but not real well. They'd kinda flop around on my face a bit.
General Comments
I'll definitely be looking for something else when I go for my Instrument rating, but they were reasonable enough for the few hours needed for Private. They may do better if you're not putting them on over normal glasses. It is a good price.

Simple and small
Pros
I bought this product to get away from the bulkier hoods I used to carry. These goggles are so small and light, you can always have them in your flight bag.
Cons
The build quality of these glasses is good, but being more complex in construction, they are more fragile than the simple gray plastic-and-rubber-band hoods.

Pros
Light set of glasses. Great to have the wrap around feature so there is no need to put a map on the edge of the windshield.
Cons
shipping was almost half the cost of the glasses. I suppose with some planning and buying more from Sporty's that could have been less of a percentage.
