It's not quite that good, but it's pretty good. I don't know if being able to see this stuff is a good thing or a bad thing, but it doesn't cause problems as long as I don't wear polarized glasses.

I drive w/headlights on,so I can't read the guages very well w/the shades on either(dash lights dim w/light).
MadMax,I know what you mean about the polarized/color-shift thing;if it's the same as I get,it messes with your depth perception in certain situations.For me it's walking across pavement and some of the surface appears to be at a different height,or distance than the ground.
Still wear the Maui Jims,haven't noticed any vision impairment while driving,but maybe there are some better shades out there?

In high glare, high UV (ie: bright) environments, I think Maui Jims are the best shades out there. I had that same depth shift problem in my old polarized Oakley Zeros when I played tennis in them. Made for some interesting rallies .

"They do nothing for the glare. You need different filters for that."

Polerixzed lenses when orianted correctly will reduce glare. If you are looking at a store window from the out side and you get the reflection from the street. This light "glare" that is being reflected off the window is partially polarized in the the horizontal plane. so if you sunglases are in a verticial polerizing direction the you will be able to see into the store. This is a trick for photos.

Yep, but then you will have problems seeing the LCDs. Perhaps it's better if the sun glasses were horizantly Polerized so you can see the LCDs in the car and then when you need to look into the store window you will just have to turn your head 90 deg. to the right or left. Heheheh.
