I use a pair for day-into-night driving, IE twilight. Not one of these brands, but a generic yellow tinted polarized pair. In twilight conditions, the difference is noticeable, they do help. Full-on night driving they dont do a thing. The other area where I noticed they can help is foggy or rainy conditions during the day, as the polarization helps cut down the glare. However, not much help beyond those two scenarios.
@@NutsandBoltsAuto True :) But clothing seems like a better options. Hence why nomads etc are covered in a lot of it. Contrary to what many think, its better to keep clothes on in the heat, as it provides lots of shade.
Actually, umbrellas for sun protection are a thing. Unlike umbrellas made for rain, the ones for sun protection are made with a different fabric, oftentimes not waterproof, that works really well for blocking the sun's rays. They are very popular in South Korea and Japan. In the Middle East, clothes that cover everything do a great deal for protecting you from the sun. An umbrella can be useful if you are sensitive to bright sunlight and sunglasses alone aren't enough for you.
Now that I think of it, red or orange tinted glasses may help to block the blue light and/or reduce glare. Kind of like how theater glasses work and/or how iPhones work with the night screen display function.
I got a pair of the Night Views becuz my night vision had gotten sensitive to oncoming headlights .. thought they might help. Gotta say, they do NOT reduce the glare, but makes it more pronounced. But the bonus is, they also make the freakin' highway disappear!! Those suckers came off quickly, and permanently!
My wife bought a cheap brown colored sun glass from a retail store for daily use. Just last week we found it to be an excellent companion for night driving! Glares were very visibly reduced. Need to do some more testing on road visibility.
My dad has to wear glasses when he drives at night and I was thinking of getting him one of these pairs for his birthday. Now I know it would've just been a waste of money, thanks KipKay.
I bought a pair for night driving. They don't really help with huge amounts of glare, but they do help me a lot with my eye strain. The polarization only blocks a small amount of glare but the yellow tint helps so much with blue/cooler lights and super bright LEDs headlights (which is everywhere nowadays). Everything looks warmer which really helps me relax and doesn't affect my focus. My eyes don't strain anymore and while it's not mind-blowing, they do help me. I can't drive without these at night or sunglasses during the day anymore 😂
I have a pair of sunglasses with yellow tint. They appear to highlight every detail of my dashboard onto my windshield making it difficult to see. Not recommended for day driving.
Dang, Kipkay! I hope you're out of there, Buddy. Dorian isn't going to play in South Fla....no matter what the meteorologists might think! I have a pair of $1.50 amber safety glasses that have saved my neck a couple of times driving in the rain. They diminish the blow up effect of water off other people's tires, and improve visibility in the rain itself. That's all I use them for.
I like your videos... But when ur showing the side by side... It seems rushed.. u should slow it down, pause and zoom in so we could see the differences of glare
