Pros: light weight; they do block the vision, they fit on my glasses
Cons: flimsy and they melt with not much heat
Review:
I live in the south. It is hot. Theses things, if left in the plane or your car will melt at about 110 degrees, causing deformity and they lose their ability to work. This pair I bought to replace the melted ones. Now I have to put them in a box and keep them in air conditioning.

What you see is what you get
By Derin

on Monday, May 04, 2015
Review:
This product is good for eyeglass wearers but is a bit flimsy. It's very awkward to flip up or down and takes 2 hands to really get it. They don't fit very well on the lenses with its mounting system but for the money, they work and provide adequate blockage for IFR training. Good, not great.

Work Ok but way over priced!
By Larry
from Stroudsburg PA USA
on Thursday, May 08, 2014
Pros: work
Cons: overpriced
Review:
The Eyeglass Overcasters fit on the glasses OK and work fairly well for flying under the hood. They are very cheaply made and way overpriced for the quality of the product. $4.95 seems about right same as cheap sunglasses not $18.00 for a piece of plastic on plastic clips. Could do the same thing with a pincer close pin and a piece of cardboard cut to fit leaving only a small sight spot out of glasses but, probably this idea would not be FAA approved!

Fragile
By Keith
from Tigerton WI USA
on Wednesday, April 03, 2013
Pros: Small and easy to carry in flight bag
Cons: Fragile and hard to clip to my glasses
Review:
Good idea, but this view limiting device is fragile. Watch where you store it between flight. It is also cumbersome to clip on my glasses. Back to the drawing board.

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.

They slide around
By Ron Gawer
from Omaha, NE
on Friday, April 27, 2007
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.

Great Idea
By Gary
from Lexington NC USA
on Friday, December 18, 2009
Pros: Easy, non-invasive design
Cons: a little flimsy. Could use stronger material.
Review:
Excellent Idea. Nice and lightweight, easy to use, and doesn't add to the disruption of your headset seal.

Pros: light-weight and clips onto my sunglasses.
Cons: VERY susceptible to head warping.
Review:
Just like the other reviews said, this product is VERY susceptible to head warping. Mine actually arrived somewhat warped. The plastic can be reshaped as it becomes completely limp and moldable at a very specific temperature and hardens completely within a few degrees. I was able to 'fix' mine by holding it over a stove top and then putting a book on it as it cooled. It's not perfect, but it's pretty close. I like that it's very light-weight and clips onto my sunglasses.

Review:
Its probably the best for those who wear eyeglasses as long as you don't let it get heated up. On the flip side if it does, as mine did, simply mold it back into shape and cool it off. It is a great inexpensive fix that works good.

Not bad
By A Customer
from Livermore ca USA
on Monday, October 04, 2010
Pros: Light, allows airflow to reach forehead and face
Cons: cheaply constructed. As delivered cut into nose
Review:
More comfortable than a hood. Had to cut the plastic to keep it from cutting into my nose. A little difficult to make work with bi-focals

Pros: Works better than a dog collar
Cons: Geeky, must have glasses that aren't short
Review:
Plastic cover, pretty straight forward. The plastic was slightly deformed, but it wasn't a big deal to me.
