Choosing the right lenses, specifically polarized or non-polarized, can greatly enhance or hinder your outdoor experience. There is a use case for each, let's break down which is best for you.
When Not to Use Polarized Lenses
1. If it is overcast or cloudy
On overcast days or in shaded environments, polarized lenses can sometimes make things appear darker than they are. In these cases, non-polarized lenses may provide better visibility by letting in more light.

2. When you need depth perception
The way polarized lenses filter the light often decreases depth perception. It may not be an obvious difference, but could affect your judgment when moving quickly downhill.
3. When you track your mileage and location
Polarized lenses can interfere with your ability to see digital displays, including GPS devices or smartwatches. If you use a screen to track your location and mileage, polarization can interfere--making digital displays appear dim or blacked out.
4. When you need to avoid hazards
When riding or running on a road with slick patches of ice or water, polarization reduces your ability to see these hazards making them harder to avoid.
When to Choose Polarized Lenses
1. On very bright days in open spaces
When you’re training under the blazing sun, polarized lenses help reduce the intense glare from the road and surrounding reflective surfaces. They allow you to maintain clear vision without squinting, keeping you focused on your activity.

2. Water Sports (Kayaking, Fishing, Boating)
Glare from water can be overwhelming and make it hard to see beneath the surface or track movement. Polarized sunglasses cut through the glare, making them perfect for any activity on the water. You’ll have a clearer view and less eye strain.
Tifosi understands that people have different needs, which is why we offer a variety of both polarized and non-polarized lenses. Whether you’re heading out on sunny fishing trip or tackling technical terrain in overcast weather, we’ve got you covered. Choose polarized lenses when reducing glare is critical, or opt for non-polarized lenses when you need clarity and precision.
By offering both options, Tifosi ensures you get the best performance, no matter where your adventures take you.
