better than best
by Jim from Catoosa OK USA 
Pros: lightweight, perfect for hood work
Cons: none
Review: With 40 hours of hood time facing me for my instrument rating I was looking for something more comfortable than the old style hoods. This is it. It fits on my glasses, is a featherweight and perfectly limits the vision to the instrument panel. My flight instructor loves 'em and so do I. Can't recommend them high enough.

Leave the hood home and use this
by Richard from DURAND MI USA 
Pros: Great for people who wear glasses
Cons: None
Review: Light weight, easy to flip up out of the way during IFR practice when needed. This is much better than a hood when wearing a headset. I wear blended bifocal glasses and recommend anyone who does to try this.

Stay away from this.
by Mr. PPL from Bossier City 
Pros: Light weight and compact
Cons: No case and bends/warps permanently too easily.
Review: This product is in dire need of a carrying case or protective case. The material is way too flimsy and warps in warm environmants. Since there is no case, it bends easy when you place it in your bag and it won't ever bend back to normal.

Great until they get warm
by Martin, RV7A pilot from Granbury, TX 
Pros: Perfect design for people with glasses
Cons: must be made more resistant to warmth and sun.
Review: I really liked the Overcasters, feather light and very convenient. The third time I used them I left them on the glare shield of the plane while eating lunch. An hour later they were severely distorted from the sun even though the OAT was only 45F. They would not come back to original shape after cooling and are permanently distorted.

They slide around
by Ron Gawer from Omaha, NE 
Pros: Convenient for wearing your glasses
Cons: they don't stay in place
Review: They do work, but slide around on my glasses. They don't restrict your side vision as much as jeppshades, allowing a little cheating.

by A Customer from Alabama 
Pros: lightwieght, small ,inexpensive
Cons: can break easily.
Review: I must wear glasses while flying and while I was recently finishing airplane instrument training I became tired of caring around a bulky hood. I was told by another pilot friend that this little device is the one he keeps in his plane. This lightweight device takes up no room in the cockpit and meets the requirement for hood time.
