Never tried Revo, but Maui Jim's are great! Serengeti is another amazing glasses brand, and one of the very few out there that are photochromic. Most people have never heard of them but they're probably the best driving glasses bar none on the market. They're owned by Bushnell and use the same caliber optics in their glasses that Bushnell uses for their binoculars and rifle scopes. I've worn Serengeti's for the last 3 years and would never imagine buying fashion glasses like Oakley again, the difference in moving up to quality optics is just too great to come back from.

If I recall, they are a bit more than the Maui's though.

thanks guys, my decision is pretty much made I'm just a bit worried about the lcd issue that was posted about. One of my cars is an early 90s gm product with the lcd speedo so if I can't see that, that maybe a problem

its not really a problem, you can still see the lcd, if you turn you head at the wrong angle, the polarization makes it alot less readable.

Thats just from my experience though.

Like everything, depends on where you buy them. I've bought all of my Serengeti's from OpticsPlanet.com and they've been quite reasonable, especially compared to local pricing since there's only one optometrist that carries Serengeti in Vancouver. I think my Dante's were the most expensive at about $210 which is less than 50% of what I would have paid if I bought in Vancouver. Serengeti's most expensive models are seem to be priced comparably to Revo and Maui Jim, but most of their models seem to be significantly less.

Something you should consider too is that some polarized colors of lenses are better suited for certain things.
As an example, the color of my Maui Jim's lenses is better suited for driving.
At the time, I drove quite a bit and that was important to me.

Or like some have said, at the gas station, or anywhere there is an LCD screen, turn your glasses 90 degrees, its science in action!

Learned that on The Mechanical Universe.
