Quote HistoryQuoted: They dont block ONE angle of reflection. They block ALL BUT ONE angle of reflection. That's how polarizing gates work. Yes, it does add protection, as most of the other light is blocked, therefore, you receive less. If you were being bombarded with ionizing radiation, and someone put a lead sheet up that absorbed 99% of it, would you consider that protection? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Something about protecting your retinas from the sun. But hell, what do I know Study up. Polarization does nothing to reduce UV rays, just blocks ONE angle of reflection. That is why turning your head 90 degrees solves LCD issues. I don't like tilting my head that far. I use them for what they are meant for. Reducing glare from horizontal reflections. They dont block ONE angle of reflection. They block ALL BUT ONE angle of reflection.

I don't like polarized lenses. They make the world look like one of those fun mirrors. Makes me feel sick and dizzy.
What did man ever do before those polarized lenses were invented? Hmmmm...

I can see all those things just fine with my Oakleys. Maybe Smith fucked up the polarization angle. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I don't know what you guys that swear by polarized lenses are thinking. I am working in the yard today, and grabbed the closest sunglasses in my shop. Smith Optics, polarized brown lenses. Fantastic clarity and definition. I use them for the air boat, and snowblowing. Every thing was fine around the yard, until I needed to run for more gas. Polarized lenses SUCK ASS for everyday use. Oily looking spots in every car window, can't see the radio, can't see the fuel pump readout, can't see your phone. Like I said, they are the answer for on the water, or snow, but anywhere else, they are a liability. I can see all those things just fine with my Oakleys. Maybe Smith fucked up the polarization angle. This |

I have the really awesome wrench made by Snap-On. It is a superb tool but it sucks as a screwdriver. Doh!
Polarized sunglasses are a specialized tool. They are very good at their intended purpose and not necessarily so good at others. |

I like polarized lenses for fishing. Totally hate them for motorcycle riding under a tinted shield. Gives similar distortions you encounter with LCD screens but on the road surface. Very distracting. I actually like them there. It highlights oils and slick spots. |

I found this here:
Myth #5: Polarized, anti-glare lenses are all you need to protect your eyes from UV rays
False: While polarized and anti-glare lenses may offer better image clarity, a more comfortable viewing experience and give you better vision when driving or playing sports, they have nothing to do with UV protection. That being said, most polarized lenses also offer adequate UV protection. Again, if you are in doubt, have your sunglasses checked by an optometrist. |

I can't wear them. They're never dark enough. My eyes are extremely sensitive to sunlight, like headache and vomiting sensitive sometimes. My Oaklees are dark enough but fit like shit. I wish the still were metal frame so you could bend them to fit just right. But I do not wear the polarized because of the enhanced clarity.

You've never had problems with your visor? Nope. Shoei and HJC full face helmets, and cheap polarized sunglasses. Every visor I looked through showed rainbow patterns that would move across the visor with changes in sun position and bank angle. I couldn't find a visor that didn't suffer this problem - buying a new helmet was about the same as buying new sunglasses, since they were prescription. I finally went back to the store and they happily re-did the lenses without polarization, and without charge, saying that they normally ask if you are pilot or ride motorcycles before going forward with polarized lenses. |
