I've been buying cheap sunglasses forever and decided it's time to spend money on good ones.
I've been looking at the AO's.
What does all the different terminology mean?
Bayonet? Color Correct Polarized? High Constrast Amber?
I know I want polarized and I have a huge problem with sensitive eyes and sunlight so I've always bought very dark lenses. Could you steer me in the right direction? Thanks so much.

Bayonet means they have straight arms

Color correct means its a polycarbonate lens, as far as the amber (brownish color) AO still offers the high contrast amber lens in some models. Most popular model currently along these lines, though, is the Serengeti Aviator, http://www.opticsplanet.net/serengeti-driversgradient-aviator.html
