The reading optics in the dual lenses .. are they optical cut into the sunglass or are the 'glued' on the sunglass ?

Yes, cut right into the glasses. they a small enough not to hinder normal vision yet perfect for reading or seeing the panel, ipad or charts.

Where in the UK are you Jan?

I am going to be in London Oct 4-8th, I was going to suggest 'come and try them on'. If you need anything else on the glasses let me know I'll do my best to send accurate info.

I've always been partial to AO Eyewear, but maybe that's more of a family tradition (2 Vietnam-era pilots in the family).

Other than that, I really like the Ray Ban Predator 2's.

Serengeti drivers from sams club

Tried many others alway go back to the serengetis
I take some heat from the stews about how outdated and out of style they are ( over 25 years old) but have never found any better.

Mark,

Try their contact page: http://www.vedalohd.com/vedalohd-contact-us/

They've always been very helpful to us. No reason to think that if you bought at Oshkosh that they wouldn't be just as helpful to you.

My Vedalo I have never had any issued. They are not fragile nor do the lenses pop out when cleaning or dropped. The Pilot I fly with has a pair as well yet a different model. He has experienced no issues either.
