The difference between
Polarized vs Non Polarized Lenses
GREY POLARIZED POLYCARBONATE
Grey lenses are the most common sunglass lens color because they don’t change the value of color, but are dark enough for bright sunny days, while not so dark that they impair vision. Polarized grey lenses also reduce glare, making them great for most activities. Well known for general sunglass use, grey lenses also aid in preventing eye fatigue, provide true color perception, and are ideal for scenes to be viewed in their most natural state. If you enjoy any outdoor activity, hunting, golfing, visiting the beach, or even if you just drive a lot, the grey lens color is a great choice for you.
Weather Conditions & Suggested Use
- BRIGHT SUNNY DAYS
- GENERAL PURPOSE &
OPEN WATER ACTIVITIES
Features & Benefits
- A grey lens can reduce eye fatigue
- Provides true color perception
- Minimizes glare, especially off water
- Darkest tint with highest available light reduction
- Blue light filter: 89.88%
- Luminous Transmittance Value (Tv) = 9.64%
AMBER POLARIZED POLYCARBONATE
Amber lenses do more than give the wearer a sepia outlook and a warm color fashion – they are great enhancers for vision. With the amber tint, much of the color spectrum’s hazy end is blocked and your vision has more contrast, giving you crisp vision and allowing you to make out shapes more clearly. This lens color is great for early morning, late afternoon when the sunlight is not as intense, or especially during cloudy, hazy, or foggy days. With the brighter and higher-contrast tint of the amber lens, this lens color is also known to enhance depth perception, reduce glare, and be optimal for people living in areas with changeable weather patterns. If you enjoy any sport where distance needs to be judged, your focus is against green grass or blue skies, or if any of your daytime activities are in lower light situations, then the amber lens color is an optimal choice for you. Some examples could include: golf, tennis, fishing, baseball, hunting, soccer, football, boating, or racquetball.

YELLOW POLARIZED POLYCARBONATE
Similar to amber lens colors, the yellow lens sunglasses provide clarity in fog, haze, overcast, and other low-light situations. They also are high in contrast and depth perception since they also cut blue light rays that can be hazy. Due to these qualities and the fact that they are a lighter lens than the amber, they are often used not only during daytime activities, but also for dusk/evening driving and indoor sports. Although this lens color is very likely to cause color distortion, giving everything a yellow hue, it is often chosen by mountain bikers, racquetball players, pilots, hunters, tennis players, and cross country skiers for its amazing sight performance and clarity. Not only do players of numerous sports and activities enjoy this lens color, but it is also ideal for 90% of all eye conditions.
