polarized vs non-polarized sunglasses

[loki]

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.

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.

Very good point! You also want to try the different colours on if possible to make sure they suit you. Technically Serengeti's brown "Driver" lens is the best for driving since it enhances both red and green wavelengths but when I ordered my Dante's in that colour I couldn't stand the way it emphasized red and gave everything a pinkish hue. I ended up returning in exchange for the same glasses just in their more colour-neutral 555N tint. Still enhances green a little bit but doesn't distort my colour perception overly.

You are making the right choice. I have 3 pairs of polarized Oakleys and I bought a 4th set that is not polarized (for running & stuff). I regret not buying polarized. Always polarized.

I posted the initial concern and Joey made it more clear.
