Bottom chin vent helps lots. Just opened top one now too

Do i like the look, lol, not really.

I think glasses on girls can be sexy as heck, they give a look, a sense of intelligence, even a sense of dirtyness.... on certain blokes like skinny scandi architects, maybe they look ok.... but on me, heck no.

Tiger skin seat covers optional.

Mr. Dazzle wrote: Tue Apr 20, 2021 11:59 am Probably a bit late for this....but Polarized lenses can make sat navs etc invisible. Any flat screen device uses a polarising filter to make it work, so depending on the alignment of filter and the type of glasses you have it can make the screen invisible.

My old Volvo had no real dials, just screens, and they were completely black if I wore my Oakley sunglasses. In my Beemer the effect is much less pronounced but it's still there.

I had to drive to Heathrow yesterday for CV19 vaccination and i was thinking all the way there.."These are not very dark at all"

I was pondering this and every time i looked in the rear view mirror they had barely changed from clear.

"so, i wonder if that's down to the windscreen blocking UV rays" i think to myself and it seems that's correct. Windscreen block 95-95% of UV rays and that's what activates the transition lenses on glasses.

So this morning i found a place that makes prescription lenses for my preferred Oakleys. I've got multiple pairs of Oakley Fuel cell, they fit and feel 'right' and it's what i was trying to replicate with my new glasses. Sadly, it's bloody expensive ! £196 for sunglass lenses only. You send them your frames and they fit the lenses for you. Then send you the completed glasses back. It's £100 less than getting the actual glasses with lenses and as i have several pairs here it's no biggy to do it that way. So they're now on their way and should be perfect for driving and day to day outdoor sunny stuff.
