Oakleys...get them polarized?

[Sukhoi]

I'm looking at getting a pair of Half Jackets, and 50% more for polarized seems like quite a bit. Is it that much more effective? The non-polarized also have better color options.

Polarized lenses are well worth the extra cost.

Absolutely. I wouldn't wear sunglasses that aren't anymore.

There are some things you don't want to skimp money on. Your eyes are one of those things.

Ok, fine. Polarized it is!

You might want to look into getting some Maui Jims ... much better quality on the lens process.

Link. From what I've seen Oakleys have some of the best lens quality.

Another vote for polarized.

Oakley > Brand X

By far, the best 7 investments I've made in my short lifetime.

amen. I lost a pair and was pretty broke, but after day 4 I broke down and bought another pair.

I also vote polarized. If I'm going to be wasteful and pay more than $10 for sunglasses, I'm gonna buy polarized ones.

:thumbsup:

Price diff for mine were $80 vs $180 and it was more than worth it. If you are in the sun enough, its a sound investment.

I have a pair of polarized Okaley's. Before them, I had never owned a pair of sunglasses that cost more than $15. After experiencing the difference, I will NEVER go back. $200 well spent IMO.

I HATE Oakley sunglasses with a passion, biggest rip off POS cheapo shades I ever tried.

oakley optics are very good

 

[Joemonkey]

at least its easy to tell if you have polarized lenses or some kinda knockoffs... one of the few times it's VERY easy to judge quality

 

[Legendary]

Always polarized.
I drove cross country recently, without polarized lenses I'd probably be blind.

 

[alkemyst]

polarized if you need them, if not they can cause problems with viewing certain signs/screens.

Some ATMS show a black screen when you have polarized lenses on.

 

[TheGizmo]

polarized are well worth the cost
