Foggles, available from all of the mail-order catalogs I've gotten and most of the FBO's I've visited, are similar to certain kinds of safety glasses, but they're cloudy except for a small window in the bottom of each "lens". They cost around $12, come in yellow or white, and fit comfortably and securely over my eyeglasses and under my Telex DBM-1000. They do a real good job of restricting vision to just the panel, and are about a thousand times more convenient than any hood I've worn (they fit neatly in the seat-back pocket or glove compartment). You also don't look nearly as dumb wearing them. Jan Wolitzky, AT&T Bell Labs, Murray Hill, NJ
