Category 3 Lens: Must-Have ✔️
You want sunglasses that can handle the glare without dimming your view. Category 3 lenses (as all Breos are!) fit the bill. They block out harsh sunlight, reducing eye strain, and spare you from squinting.
Word to the wise: Category 4 lenses and anything darker are a no-go on UK roads by law.

Black or Lightly Tinted Lens: Must-Have ✔️
While it's not the law, going for non-coloured lenses is the way to roll when driving. Colours like blue, green, or pink can mess with your perception of traffic lights and road signs. Stick with classic black or lightly tinted lenses.

Polarised Lenses: Nice-To-Have
Whether it's the shimmer of the tarmac, a puddle, or a snow-covered road, polarised sunglasses keep glare in check without having to darken the lens. That's why many drivers swear by them year-round.
