Editor's Notes

February 13, 2019:

When selecting sunglasses for driving, there a few factors you'll need to consider. Certain lens colors (pink, blue, green) don't lend themselves well to seeing red lights clearly, so we ignored those hues completely. We included models with graduated tints, such as the Tifosi Hagen Wayfarer, which is helpful for glancing from your dash to the road. Usually, photochromic, (also known as light sensitive) lenses can impede your sight on the road unless specifically engineered for driving, like the Serengeti Summit. Polarized lenses and anti-glare coatings are also paramount in safeguarding your vision, which is why we added options such as the Mr. O Folding Fitover, Freeprint Solar Shield, and Maui Jim Peahi.
