POLAR ........ IZED. These are the best lenses if you can swing it. Try non-polar and polar lenses back to back and you'll see a difference. Gets rid of vertical light, so anything off of pavement, snow, ice, water, cars etc. etc. I wouldn't be without mine. They make my eyes feel sooooooo much better after hours of riding, especially on my long rides like RAIN (160 miles in one day).
