FYI, if you have FSA or HSA, you can use that money on prescription glasses - that's how I got my MJs.
What exactly is polarized, just makes it so it's not as dark but still protective of the sun? Can you get polarized lenses that are still mirrored in a certain color?

I can NEVER find a pair that look good on me. I usually pick up a cheap pair. I've tried nice expensive brands and I lose or **** them up REAL quick. Cheapies last me a very long time.

The last pair of shades I really liked got left in a hotel room in Dodge City, KS earlier this year.

I think polarized means light can only enter from one direction.

You should have called. We could have met in Garden.

I like the look of most of those wood grain ones, especially the ones that have mirrored blue, green or purplish lenses.
The stupidest thing was, I didn’t want to buy them because I was nervous. But, my wife said “you’re great with sunglasses, you’ve never lost or broken a pair. Just get them, they look great!” She jinxed me!!! They’re so awesome that I still wear them, but I get self-conscious when someone talks to me up close. Lol

Yes, and polarization reduces glare, especially on bodies of water.

It basically reduces glare, and improves visual quality through the lenses. In sunny conditions, it makes a big difference, and on water or snow, it's a game changer. I'll never buy non-polarized glasses after having owned polarized.

AFAIK, you can get mirrored polarized lenses, and can definitely get a variety of lens colors.

I don't know why, since I'm an unstylish jeans/tshirt person, but I'm pretty picky about sunglasses.... Oakley Juliet was perfect for me and they quit making them. :cuss:

I only wear Maui Jims. I've tried Oakley, Ray Ban, and Serengeti and MJs are the only product worth the money.

I’ve had all those and now like some Revo’s better than MJ as well as the polarized prism Oakleys. The style looks more like Ray Bans than Oakleys.

Maui Jims are easily the best I've had with very good build and optical quality. Plus one of the few left not made by Luxottica.

Often can find heavily discounted recently discontinued models at Costco but selection pretty hit or miss.
