    Ok so I'm not green but I'm curious, I was made fun of for the way I do it, but I carry a 17 year old Ray-Bans that are polarized and dark tint. But I only use those inside the truck. I won't even get out and fuel or anything with them. For getting out I have a pair of nasty ol Nemisis glasses. What do you guys use?

    Lol. I have always been a big fan of Spy optics , guess it kinda goes back to the days when I rode motocross, always used their goggles so why not sun glasses too.
    I have like 6 pairs . Lol

    I use a set of horse blinders. Literal horse blinders. It helps me to not see your ### using 20 year old RayBan's.

    I've got a pair of Oakleys and a pair of knock off Ray-Bans I got from Walmart for $20 for outside the truck.

    Just a pair of blue mirrored safety glasses from Lowe's, $10, and they never leave the truck's vicinity.

    Simple question, not sure the reason for being rude.
    ================================

    I see so many driver using just the visor to me that seems like a horrible way to do it.

    I use prescription bi-focal sunglasses that cost $500.00 and wear them day and night. To me it's worth it after having eye surgery due to sun damage. I was fortunate, no cancer, but many truckers do get skin cancer and eye cancer in their left eye from sun coming in the drivers side window.

    You do realize ray bans aviators havent changed. My friend has 25 years old aviators and they look just like mine i got last year.
