I have used both Polarized and Non-Polarized...

lenses on the diamond. I like both but I think the non-polarized are better. For some reason whenever I look at anything black with polarized I get a weird refraction. I cannot explain what it is but only black does it. I did not like that as a lot of teams wear black now, my college association wears black as the primary color for shirts and hats and now high school wears it a lot. Not a big deal but I noticed the difference.

I wear contacts so the sunglasses are a must on sunny days.

I sometimes wear them behind the plate when sun is going down in outfield.

I wear Oakley Half-Jacket with XLJ lenses like they give military. I bought mine. I am interested in trying a lighter lens. G-30 or VR-28. I wear Black Iridium right now.

I had M-Frames but they are too wide for my head. I had the kind that did not fold-do not recommend them as they break rather easily.

I have had other brands but none I would recommend higher than the Oakley's. The optics are fantastic in them. They really help me.

By the way, I take them off when discussing calls with coaches. I want them to see my eyes.
