There's always sunglasses in my outfit. During the hunt, deer shouldn't see your eyes. It's very important! I found mine Torege Polarized Sports Sunglasses on the Internet. They are very steep: shockproof, flexible, and the color rendition is very good! You can learn more about them from this review article of the best fishing sunglasses (https://under-the-open-sky.com/best-fishing-sunglasses/). What do you think about sunglasses for hunting?
Light reflecting off the lens gives away a hunter every time. No way i would wear sunglasses while deer or turkey hunting. Upland bird hunting would be the only time i would ever wear sunglasses.
Only type of glasses I wear are yellow tented shooting safety glasses.
I wear refular ol’ black lensed sunglasses on almost every hunt I have ever been on. They work great for me to be able to stay on stand longer, as I feel eye fatigue is reduced.
I've used them on evening hunts when I had West facing sets . Yet I used them so sparingly in general that on more than one occasion I found myself gathering my gear / pull rope and almost lowering my bow to the ground a tad earlier than I needed to because I thought it was closer to sundown than it actually truly was due to forgetting about having sunglasses on! I'd look down at my watch and be like damn ! It's awful early !

I wear sunglasses if it is bright out regardless of what I am doing.
Having said that, I've not had glasses on and have had deer within atlatl range and never had them spook because they could see my eyes......but nice sales pitch.
Never have worn sun glasses when I hunt, doubt I ever will. Of course, I am partial to Costa's, and those blue mirror lens might just freak out a deer.
Lot if work for a few Woodrow's and a rouge goldeneye... still taking you up on that hunt this year. That way we can browbeat each other in person rather than the inter webs!
I have worn glasses hunting for lots of years. I always buy the best non-reflecting coating I can find. Lense Crafters has the bestest in my opinion. Also works great in a office setting, do not get glare/reflection from lights behind/above you.
I do not wear sunglasses while hunting, you can get them with a non-reflecting coating if you do not want the polarized lenses, which I do.
short story, out elk hunting, mid day sitting on a rock, my buddy walks up, I ask how he found me. He said "I saw the glint off your sunglasses from that ridge over there". That ridge was over a mile away....never wore them after that day.
