Smoking deal on shooting glasses!

Mine came in today too. Pretty slick... I don't like dark shooting glasses. usually wear yellow or clear. I like the light tint.

Big ass case to carry around though. Gonna have to see if they fit any of my other cases...

At several of the monthly IDPA matches, the sun comes up behind the berms and targets depending on the season so the sun is somewhat in the shooters eyes, but the front of the target is shaded. Always a challenge for me. I wear clear lenses until the sun is so high and bright that it's shining on the front of the targets, then I switch to dark glasses. It would be nice to find some happy medium.

Like @NKD said, it's more the UV and glare for me. Unless the sun is literally behind the targets and in your eyes, I've found the anti-glare lenses beat the "darkening" lenses every time.

Is there some other kind of anti-glare besides polarized? I don't think blocking UV blocks glare, but I could be wrong.
 
Good question FG.
I always thought glare was just UVA/UVB waves reflecting off stuff and into your eye. Thought being the key word, as I really don't know.

I do not think the ESS are polarized though. I generally am a little sensitive to polarized and don't usually care for it. I had a couple pairs of Maui Jims that were polarized and I loved those though.

These have always seemed to improve clarity and depth and color perception for me, so maybe they would help see the target even with light behind it:

I'mno expert. I say UV because it's bad for your eyes and I am not interested in glasses when I don't have to wear them.

Ever worn yellow lenses? Like driving glasses? It's amazing...
 
What am I missing here? Isn't "glare" just light reflection off shiny stuff?
If your sunglasses block light, then they block glare. If they are darker and block more light, then they block more glare.

I have only noticed polarized to block glare on water making it easier to see thru water. Also notice it on painted stuff on street. So maybe it blocks glare off some surfaces better? Also makes it impossible to read gas pumps and cell phones, heh.

But seems like any quality sunglasses would block glare.

Polarized glasses make a big difference in blocking reflected blinding sunlight off vehicle glass and chrome of other vehicles while driving, without the glasses actually being darker. And yes, no phone surfing or reading gas pumps. lol
