I know, but remember that polycarbonate is the cheapest and shittiest lens material, it's poor optically and prone to scratching due to its soft surface. Poly is used for safety specs, riot shields and motorbike visors due to its impact resistance but it's uv protection is a handy secondary bonus. Oh, and it's renamed by Oakley to plutonite so punters think they've got something special.
They haven't.
It's the same material used in a pair of £5 beach sunglasses and incidentally, the fake oakleys which also offer 100% uv protection.
Still, you won't get a tan in a riot.
