Do you wear sunglasses while hunting ?

Yes, a necessity especially during bright days with snow covered terrain. I use Costas and interchange the lens color for different conditions. Seems like there should be more companies making sunglasses specifically for hunting.

I do, especially when there is snow on the ground. But I use them almost all the time because they are wrap around style so they help protect my eyes and they are impact resistant for shooting sports. I use a brown tint and it really does make images sharper and it increases color contrast.

Yep. I use my normal shooting glasses I use for competition shooting. They have interchangeable lenses, I have polarized, amber clear & yellow. I always have them with me. Also helps windproof my eyes as I wear contacts.

I have to wear sunglasses to see more then a few yards without everything being blurry. So I have prescription sunglasses and regular glasses for night time.

Yes, But they have to have a flat surface so they work with my bino's. My binos have adjustable eye relief and the sunglases have to fit just right or it drives me up a wall. I also dont like a real dark sunglass. I like just a little bit of amber to them.

These sunglasses that Ike reviewed are cool in that they are from a guy who hunts regularly. He designed them with all forms of outdoorsman in mind. Yeti has built products that are made for every facet of outdoor life, that is what Skeleton is shooting for. That said it is cool to know that money made on this glass doesn't go to anti-hunting orgs, etc.

As someone with blue eyes I never go anywhere without sun glasses. If snow is on the ground, sunglasses are required.

I very rarely wear sunglasses. Every time I use my binos (which is very often) I have to take off the glasses, which I have learned is terribly inefficient. Bear in mind I do a lot of hiking and still hunting, so a very quick response to an animal encounter is necessary. I rarely even have time to put in ear plugs, unfortunately.
