These glasses are not polarized.
Oakley makes two lens types for these frames; one is polarized (at about $200), the other is not. These are not polarized. Still very nice glasses! I compared these lenses with a pair of
Oakley polarized. Both lenses blocked the sun about the same (which was very good). The difference was that the polarized lenses cut the glare completely - especially on water - and these do not. If your eyes are not blue or are not super sensitive, glare-protection might not matter to you. I do like this gray lens which keeps things looking more their normal color than with other color lenses. Otherwise, ditto everything the other reviewers said. Super comfy, stylish, love that the nose pads are stabilized in two points. I am only returning them because I really need polarized lenses.
