    I think I may avoid trying to cool my feet off in that particular little creek.

    But do you know that polarised lenses and windscreens can create blind spots. Areas of usually clear vision that are absent to the eye when the two lenses interact. It is the oposite effect to the lens test where two polarised lenses are rotated until blackout occurs.

    A number of senior Highway Patrol officers over the years have expressed the view that polarised lens glasses are the cause on numerous otherwise unexplained head-on crashes.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Being the proud owner of a nice set of pterygiums, I essentially dont go outside up in this part of the world without my Spotters... they are photochromatic so I pretty well wear them from dawn till dusk.

    I have heard of moto riders not liking polaroids due to the potential of missing water patches on the road. Airplanes definitely have an issue too but that is due to the curved plastic screens that are used on planes. The curvature and internal reflection in the plastic causes light to be split which can be exagerated or cancelled by the polarized sunnies.

    I guess some new vehiles with special tinted, heated and heavily raked, curved glass might have similar internal reflections like aircraft. In a deefer with flat non tinted clear glass I have never had a problem, nor in the mrs VY commo which has raked and curved screen with a tint to it????

    Either way in the case of walking a river chasing barra or toga - I think Ill keep the polarizers on my head
