polarized vs non-polarized sunglasses
 
Since my wedding is going to be outside I decided that I'm gona buy myself a new pair of oakleys as a present to myself but i'm torn between polarized and non-polarized sunglasses. I've got a pair that I wear now from 10+ years ago so they are non-polarized bit I'm trying to decide if it is worth the price difference to pick up the polarized ones. what do you guys think

In my opinion, once you wear polarized you will see what you have been missing.
I miss my Maui Jim's terribly due to having had to start wearing glasses.
With polarized, everything becomes so crystal clear it is amazing.

Once you go Polar, you'll never go back.

Since I started wearing them, I won't buy non-polarized again.

Worth every penny!

I really really prefer my polorized pair for driving and other glare-filled activities, it is a lot easier on my eyes

Once you go Polarized, you won't go back.

The only downside to polarization is the incompatibility with Liquid Crystal Displays.
Most LCDs will not be viewed easily from angles with a polarized lens on.

Polorized all the way for me!

I'll chime in for polarized specs as well. On top of what everyone else has mentioned you get to see fish in the water better than your non-polarized pals.

Revo's and Mau Jim's. The two greatest polarized lens out there IMO.
BTW, I'm also a fisherman....so I've tried all polarized lens, and will never buy anything else....

I have a set of Polarized Oakely's as well and like everyone is saying once you get them you won't want non polarized again.

Another vote for polarized. Lost my Maui Jims actually in Maui...hows that for irony?

I wear Oakleys all day for my job and own both polarized and non polarized pairs. Spend the extra coin and get the polarized. Things are a lot sharper, and clearer.

Ive got M frames and the Flack Jacket XLJs

Revo's, polarized. They are expensive, but well worth it.

I have Oakley titanium framed polarized glasses that are the cats paws. I love the polarized lenses.
