Your poll choices eliminate all who wear sunglasses that are not polarized and not junk.





Serengeti drivers for me......must have good shades always.
 
I always try to have a pair of sunglasses with me. I keep two pairs of Oakleys in my car most of the time. I can't stand squinting if it's bright outside. I seem to be more sensitive to the light the older I get.

maui jim for me......



+1. Great quality lenses. I woulnd't leave home without them.



I even wear them sometimes when it's rainy/foggy as I seem to be able to see down the road a bit farther.
 
In addition to my Serengeti drivers, I also have a pair of the Maui Jim titaniums for everyday use and a pair of Maui Jim Kahunas for really bright conditions. They are fabulous.
 
In my civic I do not wear sunglasses (i have all the windows tinted including like a 25% tint on the windshield). My accord has no tint and I have to use sunglasses sometimes. I don't really like wearing glasses though when driving, I use my peripheral vision alot when I drive and glasses seem to obstruct that.
 
I don't even like going outside (much less driving) without shades, always polarized. I have 2 pairs of Ray Bans, 1 pair of Costa DelMars, and 1 pair of H2Optix.



My wife doesn't get it, along with my OCD for detailing...
 
sunglasses are essential when I'm in the Cobra. In addition to reducing glare, they also help keep all the flying crap out of my eyes.

Maui Jim shades rule.



Agreed. I bought some a few months ago (? on the name of the glass) but they are flexible and VERY VERY comfortable, I forget I am wearing them sometimes.



Also, I have had sun glasses with NO distortion. Nothing.



The lenses have seven or eight different layers that produce a squinting effect. They never fatigue me.



I can go on and on... get some.

Not quite your collection but im getting there.
 
I'm on my second pair of Ray Bans. My first pair were the large aviator style with a driving tint (amber). After 15 years, I was getting lots of jokes about them being a little dated so I upgraded to a more contemporary look with the same tint. Always been happy with them and have had several friends purchase theirs based on trying mine.



I avoid polarized for the same reason as others: I hate the rainbow effect from tinted windows, can't read the display on radios, ipods, cell phones, etc.



I don't go without sunglasses. My eye docs recommended this based on being extremely near-sighted. I'm more prone to retinal detachment and bright light aggravates the situation.



Besides, sunglasses make you look cool!
 
It's true that the polarized glasses can help you spot certain defects in paint.

I can't be outside w/o sunglasses - Not sure if it has anything to do with eye color but my eyes are blue and a few hours in the sun and I'll get a headache without the sunglasses. Those eagle eyes glasses seem to work good for me.
 
Sunglasses are a MUST HAVE on a sunny days for me. My eyes are very sensitive to light.



Bolle Polarized Meltdowns for me.
 
I have bought one pair of Oakley's about two years ago and lost them in three months. I have never bought any more and probably never will. They did seem to help with the glare but I am not going to pay $250 every three months.
 
I havent been wearing my contacts too much lately but when I do, I have a pair of Ray Bans in my car and Maui Jims in my wifes.
 
I have some Bolle polarized glasses I use all the time. In my cars I got a pair of Revo's in car and a pair of Maui Jim's in the other. I probably got a pair of ray-bans laying around as well as some serengeti's if I bother to rummage through my junk drawer. I like the Bolle's best though. I got my kids the bolle polarized ones as well. You can't put a price on your children's vision and health.
