Wondering if anyone here has a good recommendation for driver's sunglasses. Polarized or non-polarized? Black lenses, brown lenses, amber lenses or others? Certain brands that are known for improving vision while driving?

I'd like to keep it under $100. I've got an old pair of black bolle's that are decent, but I'd really like something that actually helped IMPROVE vision while driving and not just make sunny days a little more comfortable. Something that I can leave in my car pretty much all the time and just use during driving. Good for all weather conditions including snow.

Any experts about this subject in here? What are you all using?

Polarized amber glasses are the way to go. They cut glare and provide better contrast than other glasses.

Polarized brown/amber is the way to go. Ignore chromatographic (interchangeable darkness) - they won't work inside the car. The windshield blocks UV which makes glasses to change darkness.
Best brand IMHO - Serengeti. BTW saw them at Costco in Optics dept - way cheaper than online.

If you are up for the cost, Maui Jim's have some of the best lenses on the market.

I have prescription sunglasses for driving and I use polarized amber lenses. Love these lenses cause they cut glare and brighten up your view even on a cloudy day.

You gotta get the same ones he's wearing...only make sure it's polarized.

then get in your car, pump up the volume to this song and slam on the gas pedal. Enjoy

$10 polarized glasses from Wally World ..... LOL

If you lose them or break them, spend $10 to get another pair.


I have a pair of $300 polarized Oakley's, and I can tell no difference between them and my cheapo Wal-Mart glasses.

+2, these were a treat to me from me and they are nice. I do still have an old cheapo pair as well...
