Sunglasses Question (UV Ratings)

[Alucard]

Any idea what the average UV rating for a pair of shades should be? I'd estimate like...100-150% right?

The only reason I'm asking, I know this is a stupid question, is I have a pair of Locs (yes, I'm a white boy, yes, they're what Eazy E and various Compton gangstas wore, but dammit they look good on me), and those things have a 400% UV rating.

And that just seems like...a LOT. And they are like super dark tinted. And I love em, because I hate sunlight as it is. So are they basically just...ridiculously good at keeping your eyes shaded, or is 400% about normal for sunglasses and I'm just dumb?

I believe normal is somewhere in the range of like 90%.
