Stick with foggles
by Mike from El Dorado Hills CA USA
Pros: Nice looking, well made.
Cons: Not a great fit, Blocks peripheral vision when flipped up.
Review: I picked these up thinking they would be an upgrade to my current set of cheap foggles. I liked the idea of being able to flip them up or down easily; however, they do block a good portion of your peripheral vision when you have them flipped up. I find it easier to just stick a pair of foggles on your head (and cheaper) and slip them up or down over your eyes. I also have a problem with the fit, the elastic band is a bit big and they won't fit around my small head. I have to wrap them around my headset, rather than under it.

Good aid to IFR training
by A Customer from Tampa FL USA
Review: These shades are great for blocking the outside view and only allowing the student to view the instrument pannel and controls inside. I prefer these to other "foggle" type devices since they are open and do not require the student to look through scratched or smeared lenses. My only complaints are the straps are not quite long enough to fit around all headsets and the band tends to slip up on the student's head in the back.

Great, my 2nd pair
by Kei from New York NY USA
Pros: very comfortable. easily to remove with head set on. very practical when you reach DH.
Cons: the top hinge part broke.
Review: This is my 2nd pair of Jepp Shade. 1st one broke after passing my IFR check ride. The top hinge part broke off, but I love this product enough so that I decided to purchase 2nd one.

Worth the extra money
by Adam from Duluth MN
Review: I've used them over my sunglasses, without sunglasses, around my head set under my head set... Only draw back as with any jeppshade or foggle you will see a tad bit of the outside.. I fly in a 172 and just put up a folded sectional along the window on the left... Comfortable and enjoyable to wear...

Great IFR Goggles
by Michael from Pace FL USA
Pros: Comfortable, easy to adjust and flip up
Cons: none
Review: I used a pair of these to do my IFR time during my private pilot training and had to get my own pair to work on IFR. I tried a few other styles and these by far are the best in my opinion. They're comfortable both with and without sunglasses, are easy to adjust so as not to block the instruments or allow you ot cheat by looking outside, are easy to put on and remove, and they easily flip up when you want to go VFR.

Works well, but not with glasses/sunglasses
by A Customer from Santa Monica, CA
Pros: Light, sexy, COMFORTABLE, easy "flip up" for transitioning to VFR
Cons: expensive, doesn't work with glasses.
Review: These are light, compact, but best of all--COMFORTABLE. Bottom line: buy them if you don't wear glasses. If you wear classes, go with the hood.

When you need an IR hood, this is the one you get
by milan from SALT LAKE CITY, UT
Pros: Small, Comfortable, High Quality
Cons: Expensive
Review: Looking at hoods in general there is a wide range available on the market at the moment, most of them are oversized and look incredibly stupid, it might also be in your way. The jeppshade is one of the more expensive ones but it is the smallest one out there, not much larger than a pair of sunglasses, comes in a nice case and is easy to put on regardless of head size, both directly on your head or even on the outside your headset. If you do not mind the few extra dollars, go with this one, it is comfortable and you can flip the front part of it up if you suddenly need to look out.

I found less useful than foggles or hood
by Howard from Santa Cruz, Ca
Pros: Fits comfortably over headset
Cons: Not designed for use with glasses, allows peripheral cues
Review: First - Not until I opened the package did I learn from insert that the product is not designed to be used with glasses. So if you wear glasses while flying this is not for you.
Second - I have used a cheap plastic ifr hood and foggles. I prefer the hood for limiting peripheral cues but it is hard to remove when wearing a headset. The foggles bow does not fit well under or over a headset. Otherwise foggles seem to work pretty well.

Jury is still out.....
by A Customer from Gaithersburg, MD
Pros: Very comfortable
Cons: Does not limit your view as much as Foggles or a hood
Review: I did my entire instrument rating and most of my subsequent recurrent training with Foggles. My only complaint about Foggles is that they hurt my ears after being worn with any of my headsets for any longer than 30-45 minutes. When they broke I decided I needed a more comforable option, which led me to a basic hood or the Jepp product. The hood seemed like a pain to store, so I went with the Jepp product. It is far more comfortable than Foggles. It does not however limit your view as much as Foggles or a hood, so I'm not sure I'm getting the most out of my training. The flip up feature sounds cool, but requires two hands to operate....does anyone else think taking both hands off the airplane on short final on an ILS is a bad idea? So, the jury is still out on this product.
