Been driving professionally for 25+ years and my preference is non polarized, by a long shot.
While there are times when driving with polarized lenses are beneficial the mile by mile downsides make it not worth it. The big downside for me is that since polarization is another filter on the lens, less available light will come through the lens. This is a problem while driving on a sunny day while going in and out of shady areas. The shady areas become too dark. It's also a problem on a sunny day when an early or late sun is shining in your face. The polarized filter cuts more of the sun shining on you but then it's harder to see what's right in front of your car. Again it's too dark. Their great when the sun is overhead and there are no shadows to deal with such as buildings or trees.
Lesser problems with polarized lens for me are how it's plays with the crack seal that is used for road maintenance. Can make it appear a purple. No thanks. Another issue for me is that since my side windows are tinted, polarized lenses make them harder to see through while casting a slight rainbow of colors.
I've stuck with one quality non polarized lens for over a million miles of professional driving. It's a Serengeti 555nm lens. My eyes don't get fatigued while driving all day in the sun and they let enough light through to wear just before the sun rises and after it set and are great on overcast days too. Haven't found anything better.
Incredible and truly insightful comment thanks so much for taking the time to share your expertise!
My phone looks better and it's just a cheap Samsung
I will only ever buy polarized sunglasses, who gives a shit about phones and screens, more bothered about my eyes being protected.
Yeah, and not being blinded by cars during the sun's peak hours.
First off, I strictly wear only polarized sunglasses. Living in South Florida and when driving on the streets the constant glare from the sun off the windshields of other cars would blind me…. for me the benefits of polarized sunglasses far outweigh the negatives
I’m in the same exact boat. I live in SWFL and I can’t wear sunglasses that aren’t polarized. This sun is brutal, and I like being able to see while I drive lmao
Me too, try washing your car without polarization, its agony
Dude lives inside
This guy is such an idiot
I have ceramic tint on my car and I can't wear polarized glasses because it causes a weird rainbow/almost chameleon effect. It's odd and not good.
After watching and reading the comments, I have zero idea what to get
Get Fuse AMP polarised colour enhancing lenses. Kinda insane what they created. You have to try it to believe. I went for a mirror glacier for my RB 3119, and it's like the world got an update from 4K to 8K HDR.
I cant drive without polarised sunglasses in sunny conditions
Wow I had no idea! so much helpful info in this video
Thanks for watching!
I am a photographer and the seeing alteration is catastrophic. Can't say how many times I have thought I took a great image when what I was seeing was just enhanced by my polarised sun glasses and I am not a big fan of pictures taken with a polarising filter on the lens. It is amazing to me how difficult it is to find sunglasses with no polarization and neutral gray lenses. Tints screw up seeing as well.
Great video as always! I have a few pair of non polarized, but 95% of the time, it’s polarized for me.
You summarized what I felt but wasn’t quite sure about how polarized affects my vision. Just found them harder to see out of. Thanks for the help 👍
The trick is to use a lightly or medium tinted polarized sunglass.
Finally! Can't wait to watch!😊
I knew you’d be happy !
I completely agree 💯
Even when you are using the stairs you can have problems with polarized glass
I’m wearing polarized 24/7 I love them because it allows me to see the world completely different. It’s fun.
Very valid point! 😎
Damn.. Even at night? 😝
@@aegontargaryen8934 Polarized Glasses are not that dark. so yah. you can wear it at night actually.
@@aegontargaryen8934he’s not Corey Hart
I have degenerative myopia and one of the symptoms is light sensitivity. Almost all of my 19 pairs of sunglasses are polarised asides from, a pair of Ray Ban 3686 and a pair of Vuanet Legend 06 which have amazing clarity.
Cool video, do you find that polarized lenses tend to make you feel more tired even on high-end glasses when done properly?
I think it really depends on the activity. My driving glasses are polarized since I like to not have the glare off other cars windows. Also when pumping gas I know the station has a roof for shade so I just take the sunglasses off.
They are also nice for walks along the river or fishing. I definitely would want them when going to the ocean since a lot of glare comes off of the water and even the sand. The sand is also true for in the winter when it’s snowy and you want the extra glare protection.
I do however also have non polarized sunglasses which are good for when I know I will be in and out of doors often or using technology that I know will not work well with the polarized glasses.
All this said when it comes to sunglasses one option is not for everybody. If it was Shade Review would have just one review of the one frame everyone should get.
On the water, you pretty much always want polarized. I'm under the impression that snow glare isn't so uniformly polarized so you just need to use tinting to reduce it, and polarization can make it harder to see ice on the road, for example. Most ski goggles also aren't polarized. A few are, but I think they do a sort of half polarization, where the polarizer isn't so opaque.
I think it depends on the style of glasses too. I have Ray Ban aviators that aren't polarized and those things get massive glare quite often. I think it's because the frame is so small and the lense so big that light is able to hit the inside of the lens more than it normally would. If I was going to get another pair of aviators I would definitely go polarized. As for a normal thicker plastic wayfarer-esque pair of glasses I dont think polarization would matter as much.
Hi! May I please ask, do you think polarized sunglasses gives less strain on the eyes, or is it the same, vs the non-polarized?
Nice, it helped me in making a decision and save some money also I really like the sunglass shade that you were wearing at the closing statement. which one is that??
Great points you raised. I find polarized brown tint to be low fatigue for long drives in warmer weather. I'm using non-polarized dark gray lenses on snow lately for the reasons you gave on icy winter roads.
Yesterday realized that polarized classes with motorcycle helmet visor is like acid tripping. The sky colors change from yellow to blue and to purple and red. Worst when light comes from the side.
If you are driving wearing a helmet. The helmet either is already polarized, tinted, or the polarization filter is making the stresses in the curved lens of the helmet visible by showing a "rainbow" like effect.
But polarized sunglasses don't affect the sky, or foliage.
Can you please help me find genuine lens for my rayban aviator polarized.. gradient crystal. I drop accidentally and the lens is broken
I have a serious visual disability and generally prefer polarised to minimise glare and it seems to help depth perception. I certainly prefer the price of non polorised! However, have you ever looked at Vuanet? I have a pair of Legend 06 as worn by Daniel Craig in NO Time To Die. The Brown Lynx lenses are amazing and I don't believe they are Polorised. After seeing your review of the RB4330 CH I've bought a pair as featured, overall very pleased, blur mirror but finfn the lense more green looking through it. Beats the G15 easily.
Biggest pro of polarized for me is limitation of inside-lens glare. Unless you're wearing an ugly pair of wraparounds, light will reflect the image of your own face and eyes on the inside of your lenses when the sun is at certain angles. This effect is reduced when wearing the polarized version of the same glasses. Also, being able to see better through the windshields of other cars so you can see what other drivers are paying attention to, or not paying attention to, is also a plus.
The sunglass lenses, reducing reflections on the inside of the lens actually has nothing to do with the polarization. Now I can totally understand why you would come to that conclusion when you are comparing a pair of non-polarized ray ban sunglasses against a pair of polarized ones. And that’s because Rayban adds a better anti-reflective material on the backside of their polarized lenses they also add oleophobic coatings to their polarized lenses as well. Those two coatings have nothing to do with the actual polarizer filter on the lens!
@@ShadeReview Good to know. I've also noticed the same deal with several polarized vs non-polarized Persols in addition to Ray Bans. Maybe Luxottica does this across a few of its lines?
Brooo, what glasses are you rockin 0:02 looks gooooood!!! ❤❤❤
I wanna say ferragamos
I became so used to polorized sunglasses that sometimes i forget other people cant see what i see. I point things to people when traveling and they just say... What are you talking about we cant see what your seeing. Sometimes there is that akward moment that they think i am imagining things lol. I have to give them my glasses so they Will see. They always say wow and totally stunned. Its like a window to another world.
That being said, sometimes i just use my none polorized glasses so i Will see less. (So i wont be distracted by unusual things thatI can notice with polarized glasses)
It was good to hear the reasons and I agree for using technology and in some cars it can mess with displays. It’s best to see if that will be an issue in your car with a cheap pair before investing in a premium pair.
I do however feel a lot of the examples are the once in a blue moon situation and often times take knowing the situation you find yourself in.
Probably 99% of the time you leave home you will know if polarized or non polarized is the right choice.
I also prefer unpolarized unless I'm on water or snow. Plus the cost.
I also sell premium eyewear for a living.
I am a private pilot with my own airplane and I cannot wear polarized lenses when flying my airplane because they cause problems when trying to see my glass cockpit avionics (LCD screen instruments) and my iPad approach charts. So I keep non-polarized sunglasses in the airplane. I wear polarized lenses on my boat because of all the glare off the water in the Florida sun. I do experience the same issues reading the moving maps and chart plotters on my boat that I have in my airplane with polarized lenses, but I'm not going over 300mph where I rely on my instruments on my boat as I do in my airplane, so it's not as much of an issue. I don't need to accurately read things at a glance on the boat like I do in the airplane. I go either way when driving in a car. Either lens works fine for me with no issues, though I tend to wear polarized when it's really sunny and bright in the middle of the day and non polarized in overcast conditions and off-peak sunshine hours. I definitely experience less eyestrain from glare and very bright sunshine while driving at the brightest parts of the day when wearing polarized lenses.
I used to say only polarized all the time. Till I purchased Ray Ban Justin's blue lenses. Now unless I'm on the water or near the water. I prefer the Ray Ban non polorized lenses. It's all subjective and great points were made about phones, electronic dash boards etc. But for all those only polorized folks. Try Ray Ban dark blue lenses think there g-15 but blue really nice. Almost seem clearer than the g-15 green polorized glasses.
should I also throw out my prescription glasses so I can see nature the blurry way it was designed to be seen
Shade review does not often click bate but when he does he does not disappoint great video mate!
I haven't used any non polarized sunglasses for like a decade (besides the spare pair in my car in case i forget the main pair) and the disadvantaged you mentioned are not important at all. I can see just fine on my s24 screen, i don't mind having to raise them a little if i cant see the display of the parking meter or whatever. Polarized just offers me a good and uniform way of seeing the sunny world. Oh and i can also take pictures with my camera. The display is a bit harder to see, true, but if i use the EVF there s no issue at all
I live in Ireland. What are sunglasses?
I like the polarized. Maui Jim lenses in super thin glass are second to none.
If you suffer astigmatism, polarized lenses really help
I've never had a problem looking at screens through polarized sunglasses.
Many polarized sunglasses also have coatings to exclude UV-A & UV-B light.
Any decent pair of sunglasses cover that without polarized lenses, polarization doesn’t affect the protection rating
@@Ndrew556 At one point in the video it seemed that he was implying that polarized sunglasses somehow lack anti-UV protection. Point of my comment was that they can have such protective coatings just as often as non-polarized ones do.
Non-polarized sunglasses are essentially like neutral density (ND) filters. They reduce the overall intensity of light without preferentially blocking specific orientations. But in order to reduce glare, you need to specifically block horizontally polarized light.
@@nickm7911 yeah, but even the cheapest sunglasses protect you from all 3 types of UV light, only fakes and extremely cheap sunglasses won’t have it, that has been the norm since the late 70s
Buddy just got one of them new Samsung phones and he said his polarized sunglasses don’t affect it like it did his old phone.
Polarised glasses don't like motorcycle helmet visors so 90% of my glasses are non-polarized becasue I commute on my motorcycle.
I have both polarised and non polarised. Personally i think polarised is a gimmick. I have 4 pairs of Oakleys costing over £100 each, two of which are polarized and tbh i cant tell the difference. Im wearing my Plasma non polarised atm and they are great in low light. People say non polarised can strain your eyes but wearing sunglasses too long can! The best lenses are the ones in your eyes! Its important to take them off and let your eyes breathe. Companies jave known for ages that they can double the price of glasses just by etching the polarised tag on them!
Rush, thanks for sharing your opinion and personal experience I appreciate it!
Polarized glass is made specifically for glare attenuation, mainly from water. Is a nonsense discussing if one or another is better because they are situations on one will be better than the other.
I have both, just simple as that
Thanks for the comment, I definitely agree!
i like polarized lenses when im biking, any other days its non polarized for me.
if you're having issue with polarized and the real world just get a bronze/amber spectra to add contrast, quite simple.
Has anyone actually crashed or come close from wearing polarized sunglasses? Just curious. I drive a lot myself and it's never been a concern.
These are some great pointers for polarized vs non- I had always assumed the polarized were blocking more light and allowed you to see through glare, but I never thought of the depth perception impacts.
Should probably do a video on clear frame glasses eventually. They are nice for walking around in outside, and being out in the sun. But for driving, they are extremely distracting and annoying to wear because of how much fringe light they allow to come in through the edge of the lenses. There is constant glare points in the lens, no matter how good of a lens the frame has.
I really doubt it affects depth perception much, you know depth perception that thing which is based off the gap between your eyes that polarised lenses do not effect, does less light cause this of what coz I don't see how this would occur
I first stopped using polarized sunglasses because they distort my motorcycle visors and windscreens.
Same here.
sunglasses are supposed to protect your eyes from harmful UV, therefore, I only use Polarized, if I need to check my phone I just lift it up
Nonpolarized sunglasses also protect from UV rays too... Polarized block horizontal light.
Non-polarized tints are richer. Randolph AGX is certainly greener without polarization. I do prefer my Maui Jims on sunny beach days, tho. Or on a sunny day after a rain.
Absolutely! Thats something I accidentally edited out of video you also have a more crisp lens with none polar vs polar because it’s a single lens instead of two lenses sandwiched against each other with the polarizer filter which makes them less sharp
Hey can u do a review on the new ray ban emys bio based
Whats the model from 4:10?
Polarised is good when it comes to sun rays
Yo era un un fan de los lentes polarizados, sin embargo, ahora pienso que (además de lo que tu explicaste), la luz es un alimento para el cerebro y los niveles de dopamina y serotonina que se relacionan con el estado de ánimo están en directa proporción a la intensidad de luz que recibimos.-
Yo prefiero las lentes polarizadas. La riqueza de colores es impresionante en la naturaleza, en la playa etc. Para conducir tienes razón sin polarizar es mejor. Un saludo.
Thanks for sharing your opinion!
Can we wear ( UV protection Sunglass ) instead of polarized ? dear sir
I hate the non polarized tint. Polarized sunglasses give you the enhanced color without that annoying tint of non polarized.
I thought I was the only one too LOL I really can't stand them and ended up not wearing them anymore 😂
Polarized sunglasses are amazing when driving in the rain and mist kicked up from other cars.
no wonder he doesnt like polarization if hes been paying for it on the frames
Just tilt your head sideway when you look at a screen
Great comparison video. 👍👍👍
Polarized sunglasses are for any activities around water.
For everything else, the non polarized would do just fine
Yes sir absolutely! A day out fishing by the water is absolutely brutal with out polarized sunglasses
Ah, yes, the most natural things in the world... screens!!!
What? We can co-exist? Never!
Me too! Polarized lenses are archaic, 1970’s tech. Totally dislike them.
"They're natural, crisp, a pure" .. "They don't affect screens" (screens are not natural)
This video feels like an opinion that you're trying to justify with some nonsense phrases.. Not all lenses are the same, nor could they be compared so generally..
I HATE polarised lenses.
Why would I need sunglasses when I use my phone....
I think a better question may be why would I want to remove my glasses just so I can look at my phone?
@@jthompson2983 Obviously Because the phone screen doesn't look like it suppose to look. It is darker.
@@alexmag5735 you made my point. Thank you.
I never have an issue with polarized & phones & as far a gas station screens all I have to do is very slightly cock my head.
If you drive you can’t use none polarized.
Wow...why not?
I'm a professional driver, spending 10+ hours on the roads, often 7 days a week in 12+ tons vehicles.
Never seen the polarized lenses disadvantages, except some digital screens. I've got both polarized and non-polarized and can tell you the polarized glasses significantly reduce eye fatigue.
Nice guy 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Fun fact:
Don’t be a cheap ass and none of this is a problem.

Absolutely i have been saying this for years polarized lenses are NOT MEANT FOR DRIVING THEY ARE DANGEROUS they are designed for fishing.
Yes and no.
Fishing and snow activities. I sell Eyewear for a living.

They're not more dangerous for driving than non-polarized lenses on a bright, sunny days behind the wheels.
@@attilab.2818 you just stated the disadvantage.
Yeah...try living in the Deep South without PL 😂
would you consider Dallas, Texas deep south?
👍
Nobody needs polarized sunglasses. It's a fraud.
Soi boys complain like this
Dumb
Same polarized glasses are trash
Nope.
L take lol
You sound like a whiny kid complaining😂
Correct
i dislike how he uses crisp as a descriptive word. he uses it wayy too much and its now triggering me. next video!
What kind of sunglasses are you wearing at the very end of the video?
There called DITA Subsystem
We webby said they are the DITA subsystem
Those lenses didn't made for looking screens and electronic crap. You probably don't know that most lcd screens are polarized lol pilots also won't allowed to use it because plane glass polarized too... Everything has a purpose dude.
Yes I did know that one of my good friends is a commercial airline pilot.
But this just proves my point polarized sunglasses have a unique purpose where none polarized lenses are great for everyday use.
👏
