New York – September 25, 2026 -- Consumer365 has named Quay its top choice for polarized sunglasses in 2026, citing the brand's glare-reducing lenses for driving, fishing, and outdoor use.
The review credited the designation to the practical value of Quay's polarized lenses, the variety across its collection, and 100% UVA and UVB protection included on both polarized and non-polarized styles.
Polarized lenses target glare differently than tinted ones
Non-polarized sunglasses generally reduce overall brightness through tinted lenses, according to the review. Polarized lenses add a filtering layer that targets glare from sunlight bouncing off flat surfaces like roads and water, rather than simply darkening the view.
Quay's Clock It model targets daytime driving glare
For motorists, the review pointed to Quay's Clock It style -- a narrow wrap shield with black polarized lenses, rubber detailing, and adjustable rubber nose pads. Its close-fitting profile is designed to limit bright light entering around the lens edges during long daytime drives.
Flip Side frames are built for water-heavy activities
Anglers and boaters were pointed toward Quay's Flip Side frame, an everyday square style with a beveled nose bridge and built-in universal nose pads. One polarized colorway pairs a matte black frame with green lenses, aimed at reducing glare off water surfaces during fishing, kayaking, or beach outings.
Quay's polarized range spans multiple face shapes and styles
The collection includes aviator, square, round, shield, cat-eye, and narrow silhouettes, offered in men's and women's options with varied lens colors and adjustable or universal nose-pad fits. The Recap style, a classic square frame with tapered arms and a thin arrowhead metal logo, comes in a black-on-black monochrome polarized version.
Shoppers can preview frames before buying
Quay offers a Virtual Try-On feature using augmented reality, letting buyers preview supported frames on their own face alongside checking lens type and intended use.
Consumer365 positioned the designation for motorists, anglers, and outdoor users seeking polarized glare filtration and UV protection within a single eyewear range. The full review is available on the Consumer365 website.
