I never cared for expensive sunglasses because I am always loosing them but I tried one of my friends Ray-Ban (polarized) and love them so much that I had to get my self a pair. I settled for this model and loved them. You are able to see things with them on that you are not with the naked eye. I drove through long tunnels in the dark and didn't have to take them off, driving through sun rise/set with these on is wonderful because you are still able to see without having to squint your eyes or pull down the sun shade. I would strongly recommend these sunglasses to someone who is in the sun a lot.
