Hit the road Jack. As in author Jack Kerouak. Grab a map. Shove off in a clapped-out Chevy. And don’t forget those shades… with polarized lenses, of course. No tech in recent history makes for a more dramatic eye experience while driving. Glare begone. Sun be shunned. Snow be sorry. Fog beware. Polarization blocks light at certain angles, removing glare and providing contrast. Clearly the road worth taking.

 KEY NOTES
• Brown/Amber: This is an excellent option for driving because the color lessens the glare of scattered light from dirty windshields, smog and haze, provides contrasts and minimizes eye strain.

• Gray/Green: The color of choice for driving in style with fast function.
