Polarized Lens

Yay or nay on polarized lens and why or why do t you like them? Bout to pony up the cash for a polarized goggle.

I love polarized sunglasses, but I don't really think polarized goggle lenses are worth it.
Polarized lenses cut down on glare, and that usually isn't a problem when I ride, and actually being able to see the glare from ice patches can help you out. I also rarely use a dark lens in my goggles, just because it is usually cloudy when I ride. So to sum it up, I ride icey, overcast conditions on the east coast, and don't see the need for them. 99% of the time I ride, I use a yellow lens.

I love polarized sunglasses but I don't really see the point for goggles.  I use some crome eg2's for bright days and light rose smiths for darker days.  No need for polarization unless you get migraines from glare or your mountain is usually super sunny all day.  As someone said above polarization can also hide things like ice so you have to be careful.

Polarised snowboard lenses are a west coast and European trend. High elevations with strong, unclouded sunshine mean that maximum glare filtration is desired. You first need to understand what it does... The purpose of polarisation is to control glare by flattening the contrast band via filtering light through a monoplane filter. By cutting out the bloomish glare, everything will appear clearer being that contrast definition is no longer masked by extreme brightness. But polarised lenses have uses in clouded east coast resorts too... the very flat light conditions make the snow difficult to see-- you don't need extreme sunlight to muffle your perception of the snow in front of you. Remember: polarised lenses are glare reduction; regular lenses are brightness reduction.

Polarized lenses are great on bright, sunny days because they reduce glare really well and the lens look cool as well. The only cons are that polarized lenses are costly and they don't work well on dark, cloudy days or at night, because it's hard to see with them on.

Not really worth the money unless you find a really great deal....

they help a little on depth perception since they only allow light to come in through one direction and also cut down a little bit on glare as well but other than that....
