[pct-l] Eyeglass wearers

[jeff.singewald at comcast.net]

cut glasses out of black paper?  Come on now.  I would bet you would not be able to identify the difference in weight of your pack if you carried two sets of glasses (regular and sun). 



Unless you are going to test out this black paper solution in conditions similar to what you are going to experience on the PCT, in my opinion it is a bad idea.

Maybe it's a bad idea, but I was thinking about cut glasses out of black 
paper. Cut horizontal srtipes out to see trough it. Very cheep and light. 
People did so (with leather) as an emergency solution in Himalaya. 
I tried to wear two glasses over each other, but it was unconfortable 
because mainly the front one slides down.
