They're not polarized and also aren't recommended for driving. Spectron 4 lenses are too dark. Julbo makes a Spectron 3 lens that's polarized and OK for driving. I have a pair of these. They're best for extremely bright conditions. In bright sun and snow, your eyes are completely relaxed. No squinting.

Phase700bAny lense that is Polarized should not be used for flying, driving, or motorcycling (where you have a large windshield that covers your field of vision). They react with most windshields to the point where vision is impaired and therefore dangerous/illegal.

Rocketrobin76A quote from faa.gov "Polarized sunglasses are not recommended because of their possible interaction with displays or other materials in the cockpit environment." On the other hand, there's absolutely nothing wrong with driving while wearing polarized sunglasses. It's also not "illegal" anywhere I can find.

Rocketrobin76And very few motorcycles have a wind shield that extends above your face.

Phase700bThe windshields of modern passenger Jetliners react with Polaroids. Also some cars having metallized screens react with Polaroids. If you cant find it actually written Illegal or not just assume that if you cause any accident due to your choice of eye wear it will be your fault............enough of the Armchair philosophy.

AhournVery few indeed, but don't try it on those that do have this type of screen. Very unpleasant.

Rocketrobin76My eyes are so sensitive that I am nearly blind without polarized lenses. I won't drive without them.
