In terms of glare reduction and clarity, nothing I've used comes close.
Replace lenses and completely cut the glare out...much safer

When it rains I can change lenses and completely cut the glare out...much safer, then when the sun comes out i pop in the polarized ones, then when it gets close to dusk, i pop in the yellow ones and i can see much better than with the naked eye until dark.

I was thinking about the Serengeti Milos, but I seem to remember someone saying that photochromic lenses shouldn't be used for driving.

According to MJ, no other lens manufacturer in the world uses all 9 coatings that they use.

Suggestion
I still use my Serengeti's on cloudy days as they aren't as dark as my MJs (they aren't polarized - Summit).
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I am looking for a good pair of driving glasses. I was thinking about the Serengeti Milos, but I seem to remember someone saying that photochromic lenses shouldn't be used for driving. Any suggestions?
Get some polarized glasses, not sure what style you are looking for. But native makes some good polarized glasses for a very reasonable cost, they are a sport sunglass though.
Dr. G.
I recently purchased a set of Serengeti Argosy glasses. They are the same lens you are looking at. After about 4 weeks of use, I can say they are the best glasses I have ever owned.
Roy
ps. No problem reading the display in my Cab or my TT.
I have the Revos (Polarized) and before that I had the Maui Jim's (Polarized) and I can't always read the digital displays in either my Porsche or Mercedes.
PS,
I have one of the best eye doctors in the country as a best friend. so my conclusion is that you guys must be touting non-polarized lenses.
To Sean:
I don't tilt my head I lift the glasses.
Cheers!
Serengeti's are polarized... Here's a link:

Obviously much of what is said here is a matter of opinion. However, I live in Los Angeles, and my optometrist, my laser eye surgeon, and every sunglass store I have ever been to in L.A. ALL agree that Maui Jim makes the best sunglass lenses in the world.
EVERY lens that MJ makes is polarized and has 9 differnt layers and coatings such as polarization, anti-glare, water proofing, mirror-gradient, scratch resistance, etc...
According to MJ, no other lens manufacturer in the world uses all 9 coatings that they use.
The ONLY caveat that polarized lenses from any manufacturer have is a potential distortion of some (not all) LCD displays. I personally have had no problem with my MJ glasses and my 996TT interior displays, but I have had trouble with a couple other cars.
MJ glasses range in price from $100-$300, and come in every style from plastic frame to metal to flexon to titanium. Most of the lenses are optically correct glass, and the "sportier" lines are made of polycarbonate. There are also 3 lens colors to choose from.
I'm not here to say anyone else's opinion is wrong - just to share mine. I urge you to do a side-by-side comparison (preferably at an outdoor mall where you can take glasses outside).
BTW: I do not work for MJ or any eyeglass store or distributor. I'm simply an informed consumer who is sensitive to sunlight.

I'll second the vote for Maui Jim's. I've had Oakleys, Revos, and Serengeti's. Revos and Serengetis are nice, but the MJs are the best by far. They don't scratch near as easily as the others and the lenses are much better. I still use my Serengeti's on cloudy days as they aren't as dark as my MJs (they aren't polarized - Summit).
Smith!!! Sliders. When it rains I can change lenses and completely cut the glare out...much safer, then when the sun comes out i pop in the polarized ones, then when it gets close to dusk, i pop in the yellow ones and i can see much better than with the naked eye until dark. 3 or more pair of sunglasses in one.
dpblessing////i wouldn't buy a porsche tennis racquet or mountain bike either...)))
Chalk up another for MJ's - still have my orig pair from years ago, but now I always use my (oh hell, what are they called...) you know, the ones with the bendy titanium frames and frame-less polycarbonate lenses. Anyway, might as well have been Gilligan's Island reruns on the nav screen in my M5, but I could easily glance under the lenses to see things. No problem in the C2.
In terms of glare reduction and clarity, nothing I've used comes close.

Try Orvis for a really light weight, polarized glass(plastic)lens that has a choice of either green or amber lens. The frames are tortoiseshell. They even make a glass lens model in the same frame with cheaters (2.00)cut in.
You can wear them for hours with no fatigue.
Another vote for the Maui Jims. I have a set of the <a href="http://www.mauijim.com/mjweb/public/catalog/consumer_collection_titanium_results.jsp" target="_blank">titanium sport frame</a> sunglasses.

Silhouette titanium. Made in Austria.
I like the Weight and top quality.
Whatever you choose, get polycarbonate lenses for saftey. If you crash, they are less likely to break. I've seen them shot with a .22 pistol and not break.
Thanks for all the help. I ended up getting the Maui Jim's Polycarboante frameless (like Andreas posted above) with the Maui Rose lenses.. Great pair of sunglasses - I will have these for a long time
Sorry to dig out this older thread, but you made me hunt for a pair of Maui Jim glasses over here in Germany. I could not find them, at least not in Frankfurt. There is a German webshop, but it doesn't work on a Mac...
I just wanted to ask: How do they compare to, let's say, Oakleys, Killer Loop, Spy or Ray Ban in regards of being renown by the people / being "trendy"? Are they like a "secret tip" or did I just miss them over here? From their web site I like the Ka'anapali, bu I don't want to order it from the net without having tried them on. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
