When I look at car windows with factory tint, I see such a strong dappled effect that I can't even seen inside of the car (and sometimes have difficultly seeing OUT of the car).
Every pair I've ever worn does this - $20 glasses to $160 glasses. So I only wear the ones that aren't polarized.
What the heck am I seeing and am I the only one who sees it?

Yup, it is just you!!
I bought some polarized Ray Bans for the kayak, you can't beat them for cutting back on glare from the water.
Interesting though in the instruction/warranty info they do not recommend polarized lenses for action sports such as skiing and mountain biking. Takes too much detail out of the terrain from what I remember...
I don't have a problem spending money for good glasses that fit well, within reason. I still like those old Ray Ban Predator Eights. Tough and last for years..
