Maui Jim Cliff House Polarized Aviator Sunglasses for Men & Women - UV Protection, Anti-Glare - Perfect for Driving, Beach & Outdoor Activities

I bought the silver Cliff House after previously purchasing the Kipahulu frames with grey lenses. I love the style, they are very clear and extremely light weight! The lenses on these are noticeably lighter in tint than the kipahulus, having a gradient from darker to light from the top of the lens to the bottom. In fact the bottom of the lens doesn't even look like it is blocking that much light. And yet they still cut the glare and oncoming reflections to the point that these work in very bright conditions. The Kipahulu frames gradient was lighter in the middle but darker at both the top and bottom. I bring this up because I love my kipahulus, but they are a little too dark (for me) in overcast or cloudy weather. These work great in all conditions, even though it appears at first they wouldn't be great in direct sunlight conditions. A previous poster commented on the polarization of these, and I went on to do a quick test. The polarization is more noticeable when turning or moving your head around than my other Maui Jim frames. However, it never appeared "askew" to me, and has a very nice and clear image. I did test it versus my kipahulus, and you can easily see a difference in polarization. See pics I posted for comparison. I have only had these a week and will keep fingers crossed that they won't have scratching issues like some others have pointed out; if that happens I will update my review. So far I absolutely love these glasses even after seeing polarization not being as evenly coated as my other frames. I am extremely impressed and these are my go to shades.Update:So far I have had no issues with scratching. I normally run water over lenses, then lather hands with soap and wash. Blot with soft shirt/cloth and finish drying with enclosed microfiber cloth. These lenses will have some issues with polarization. What I have gathered is that the lens bend in towards the nose pieces, and make it where light being blocked from the middle of lens will filter through on the inside portion of the lens. It can cause some issues of almost "seeing double" where your peripheral sees light bouncing off an object, but middle of the lens blocks it. This might not affect everyone the same, but once I saw it, it couldn't be unseen. This cannot be replicated in my Kipahulu or Stingray frames. My bamboo Forest frames show some small problems similar to this. I hope this helps anyone on the fence or might be unsure of buying polarized aviators.
