Revo is the pick for drivers who want a tint tuned for the road. Its product pages say the brand's NASA-based polarized technology dates to 1985, and the Descend N, priced at $219, lists four polarized lenses with full specs. The Drive lens has a maroon base and a subtle flash mirror, transmits 15% of visible light (Category 3), and Revo says it enhances contrast and depth perception to keep you focused on the road. Blue Water, Evergreen and Terra cover water and trail use. Lenses are Serilium+, which Revo describes as premium nylon that is lightweight and impact resistant, and every option is polarized with 100% UV blocking. Revo gives a 2-year warranty plus free exchanges, and its Revo Care+ plan replaces lost, stolen or damaged pairs for $59. The 2-year warranty is shorter than the lifetime cover from several cheaper brands here. We compared documented features and published prices.
