They use them because glare distorts. Try riding late in the afternoon in your car with white paper lying on the dash. Well on second thought don't ride but instead park facing the sun. Sailors use then to spot "wind pockets" on the water, similar to dust in thermals, which glare can often totally obscure. If you take to watching other things, such as the grass or crops, often you will spot thermals as they "break away." Polarizing glasses allow you to see the ground action. Other things that work well are the gradient lenses, preferably double-gradient. Currently I fly with a pair of Nikon photochromatic (changes in density and color, up to a point), gradient, and polarized. They are not Rx and not cheap! They were styled for sailboat racing. I've seen Doug Barry wearing his glasses, looks sort of like a "bird of prey" and usually he preys on me! Oh well, my opinion and 35 cents will get you a generic cola at Waiting-Mart err Wal-mart.
