+1

Bought my 1st pair of Oakleys 2 months agos but have ALWAYS had Polarized lenses in all of my sunglasses...

I have a set of Polarized Oakely's as well and like everyone is saying once you get them you won't want non polarized again.

Another vote for polarized. Lost my Maui Jims actually in Maui...hows that for irony?

gettysburgfreak · 05-10-2010, 07:04 PM

I wear Oakleys all day for my job and own both polarized and non polarized pairs. Spend the extra coin and get the polarized. Things are a lot sharper, and clearer.

Ive got M frames and the Flack Jacket XLJs

Revo's, polarized. They are expensive, but well worth it.

I have Oakley titanium framed polarized glasses that are the cats paws. I love the polarized lenses.

Another vote for polarized!!

I wear polarized almost all the time. I left my glasses in the house a few months back and I had a cheap pair of non-polarized and my eyes almost hurt after taking them off.
So I now keep an extra pair of polarized in the car.

mosesbotbol · 05-10-2010, 07:45 PM

One more for polarized. I am on my first pair for 4 months now and love them.

neoflex · 05-10-2010, 08:51 PM

Polarized lenses in my Oakleys here too. Just wish the shield in my helmet was polarized. The only time I do not like the polarized lenses is when looking through tinted windows as it makes them look like a rainbow. Other than that polarized hands down.

pennjones · 05-10-2010, 08:58 PM

I don't buy expensive sunglasses anymore, but I have a few pair of Spy's with both polarized and non-polarized lenses, and lets just say I don't ever wear the non-polarized ones anymore. They just sit on my dresser. I also buy cheap sunglasses for driving and leaving in the car, and even cheap sunglasses are better polarized. I just bought a pair of polarized and blue mirrored field and stream sunglasses from BJ's wholesale store for $15, and they're almost as good as my polarized spys. I'm thinking about getting another pair just incase these get lost/scratched/etc.

Like others have said, once you go polarized, you NEVER go back!

Encase you don't have enough opinions to sway you I'll tell you to get the polarized lenses too. I love my Maui Jim's.

I wear them 90% of the time when I'm driving even when it's cloudy the polarization really cuts down on eye strain.

Not even an option buddy. Non-polarized are actually bad for your eyes... spend the extra few bucks!

It seems you have plenty of good opinions, but really...Once you go polarized, you never go back!

Goldie · 05-10-2010, 09:38 PM

I have a pair of polarized Juliet's and love em. I also have a pair of Spy's that aren't polarized, and wish they were.

The biggest complaint I have ever heard about polarized lenses, they make certain LCD displays nearly impossible to see. Particularly BMW radios.

Congrats on the wedding also.

hum...this maybe an issue then...not that I have a bmw.

and thanks...i'll just be happy when it's over

mosesbotbol · 05-11-2010, 04:51 AM

My polarized glasses are $30 from TJmaxx, lablelled as "Calvin Klien". The frames are cheap, but the lenses are 100% UV filtered and polarized. I like them more than my Ray Ban's or Porsche Design.

They're the best $30 sunglasses I have ever bought next to a plastic framed Carerra's that I also love for the beach and bright direct light.

Steve · 05-11-2010, 07:08 AM

To be honest, I didn't know you could even get non-polorized sunglasses these days. Seriously. I guess I don't get out much anymore...
