polarized, anti-reflection\anti-reflective, light orange-light brown color for tint.

polarized: reduces glare and reflections from shiny surfaces
anti-reflection: reduces glare from the lenses of the glasses themselves
light-orange or light-brown tint: reduces effects of the blue sky, allows for contrast improvements

For night driving bright amber. Like handgun target shooters wear,
it really kicks up the contrast. Not for use in heavy traffic.

I don't think you should be wearing sunglasses at night..

They aren't sunglasses per se, more like tinted safety glasses. My grandfather wears them.

:music: I wear my sunglasses at night
so I can
so I can
Watch you weave then breath your story lines.
And I wear my sunglasses at night
so I can
so I can
Keep track of the visions in my eyes.
While she's deceiving me
it cuts my security.
Has she got control of me? - I turn to her and say:
Don't switch the blade on the guy in shades
oh no.
Don't masquerade with the guy in shades
oh no
I can't believe it!
You got it made with the guy in shades
oh no.
And I wear my sunglasses at night
