The cheaper you go with reflex sights, the worse the sun light will effect it.

I have this http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=1043 and have barely had any sun problems. Only time I notice dimming is in very direct sunlight, but the reticle can still be seen nonetheless.

Ergonomics and personal preference being what they are, I as a sales guy generally don't advise customers to buy that sight for outdoor use. If you really want it or simply can't save the cash to get something more effective, you can sunshade the sight with a little bit of cardboard. It'll be ugly, but it will work.

I bought a killflash for my knockoff Aimpoint. Makes the sight impossible to see through in the darker conditions, but gets rid of glare, and no one can see it.

Unfortunately that means they can't see me looking awesome with the killflash :( Such is life! :lol:
