    polarising glasses

    I had a great pair of Polaroid sunglasses for driving, a relic from the 1980s found during a clean up - full nerd style, wrap around with tortoise shell frame, but lost them last week.

    Can you still buy polaroids?

    I found these and they seem to fulfill the nerd 80s factor quite nicely...


    any leads?

    Hi,

    Any fishing, sailing outlet will have them. KMart, also etc, etc.

    The polarizing works by blocking horizontal (?.....) lightwaves so you don't get so much glare reflected from the surface of water.

    I'd like a pair of those Fuglies. I almost bought a similar pair a while back. Would be perfect for snowboarding in places like Australia where it is not particularly cold.
    I was put off by the price though.

    Actually these aren't the same. The ones I saw had no arms and sealed around the eyes. They were for motorbikes riders from memory.

    Still these seem pretty good for the money. My last pair of glasses that cost nearly $200 had the lens peel after about 18 months. Too bad was the response I got. Offered 50% off on another pair though. Yeah right.

    Try a pair of Serengeti's.
    Nothing else compares - I have 5 of them (+2 Franken-getis with Serengeti Lenses and K-mart frames)

    Yep K Mart normally have those wrap around Cancer Council ones that sound like what you're looking for, or you can buy them from their shop in the City.

    Did you know that if you place two polarized lenses one on top of the other, but oriented at 90 degrees to each other, no light at all gets through ( ie opaque ).
    This is a good way to test you have genuine polarised lenses.
