I drive professionally, 8 hours a day - 5 days a week, and a good pair of sunglasses is essential for me to be able to drive comfortably and safely. I was using a pair of sunglasses I picked up at Walmart, but they left a lot to be desired. These RIVBOS glasses were an excellent upgrade. First thing I immediately noticed was the polarized effect. Without the glasses I could see glaring reflections of my dashboard bouncing back at me off the windshield that made it difficult to see, but as soon as I put on theses glasses the windshield reflections that clouded my view were entirely gone! Second thing I noticed was the color tint that these glasses had. Unlike other sunglasses that grey out the sun, or tint it with amber to look like late afternoon, the RIVBOS give my view a slight cool blue tint which is actually much better in my opinion. You see, when I used to drive with sunglasses that would darken or amber tint my vision, it would actually make me feel sleepy. A very undesired effect when driving. I think my brain would be tricked into thinking it was night or late afternoon, and I would often get drowsy behind the wheel. Ive found that the blue tint of the RIVBOS actually had the opposite effect. As soon as I put them on my vision felt clear and I felt alert and wide awake (even at 8am). The only knock I have against these glasses is that they feel and look really cheap. In the photos I thought the frames were made of aluminum, but they are entirely plastic. On the bright side, they are super light weight. They are so light weight that they barely even make contact with the bridge of my nose, they are mostly supported by the arms - so no weird nose marks from wearing them all day. Thanks for reading, I hope this was helpful!
