Sunglasses

What's everyone use when they fly? I heard polarized suck.
A Maui Jim pair that I bought on - wait for it - Maui. Around 1995. Still using the same pair. They are polarized and that affects the use of my iPad (have to orient it in landscape mode on my leg.)

One complaint I've read about polarized glasses is that the thing they are good at - reducing glare from reflected surfaces - is a detriment to safety since glints of sunlight off another aircraft would be reduced and more likely to be missed. While that may be true, I'm willing to pay for the loss of such rare opportunistic alerts in exchange for reducing the glare from aircraft windows and anything else reflective in the cockpit.
