Out in the sun

Last summer I had the opportunity to try out a pair of Hobie Polarized sunglasses. Never having worn a pair of polarized lenses before, it was not long before I realized just how marvelous they are.

The polarized lens cuts down on glare, so my Hobie glasses quickly became the only glasses I wanted to wear while driving. No longer was the mid afternoon sun reflecting off the sea of cars bothering my eyes. The near blinding light of the setting sun was practically a non-issue with my Hobie Polarized sunglasses on.

Now that I'm hooked, of course I want more style options, and was delighted at the chance to check out a pair of frames from their new 2014 line. There are several new and updated styles for men (but there is no reason women can't wear them as well), and one new style for women.

I chose the new Bondi frames with copper lenses; other than a change in the font of the logo, the most notable difference is the stiffness of the arm hinges. The older styles moved freely, these arms must be unfolded with purpose, and lend to a feeling of a more solid, rugged, frame.

If you've yet to try polarized sunglasses, I would highly recommend Hobie. They offer a wide range of styles and with most priced at $80, it's hard to find a more affordable pair.

  26. I can honestly say I had no idea what made polarized sunglasses so different until I read this post. Since I don't have a car, having a pair probably wouldn't make as much of a difference to my life as it did to yours but... that said, I love the shape of the pair you're wearing so I could easily find a way to justify it, anyway ;)
