I'm thinkin about getting Oakley Half Jackets, jet black on black iridium lenses, but i'm just not sure whether it is worth it or not to get polarized lenses? they cost a heck of a lot more...

anyone got some experiences??

Definitely get polarized lenses. Only two things really matter on a pair of sunglasses (performance-wise, not regarding style): UV protection and polarization. I won't get into the details of why polarized lenses are much better than non-polarized, but I'm sure you can find something on google about it.

Bumping an old thread, but I was just going to ask the same question about the worth of polarized lenses anyway. Any more input?

That doesn't seem to make sense. Isn't looking out over a large flat surface like a golf course on a sunny day when polarized lens would help? Or driving, boating, etc.
