Here you go, just got two pairs from this lot, one normal for bright sun, and a second pair half price for low light/night driving.
Great for the price, and work very well.

I bought these last year - am delighted.
Also with their service after losing first pair in Kennet ( wear a cord was the lesson learnt!)

To be honest ive got six pairs of polaroid glasses , some real cheap "aldi" to sierras , but i always wear the amber calcuttas in 99% of light conditions, infact they are always stuck to my head and if i havnt broken them in the years ive had them , then mr average should be quite happy with there quality Gaz

If your looking for cheap polaroids then try Rustyfish" google it
