im thinkin about getting crowbars and i have found some good deals. i have choice between a persimmon lens or a black iridium lens. does anyone have recommendations on which lens i should get. the difference between the two is 30 bucks. so im just wondering if the black iridium is worth the money.

persimmon is like 63% light transmission while the black iridium is 80 something percent. im going to assume that the persimmon would therefore be more versatile. is the black iridium like a mirrored lens... you can never really tell from those pictures.

BS. hi yellows kill your eyes if its sunny.


and kid, get the B Is. persimmons lenses suck. they are ok do it all, but the higher end oakley lenses are far better than the stock ones. much more clarity and definition. keep the blacks, and if you need, buy some hi yellows for low light skiing

i have the persimmon and they are good. i didnt feel like spending the $ on iridium lenses. the good thing is you can buy another lens later if you want to and change them.

werd I have the fire lense for my prodigies too its so sick! the black mirror is a bit darker though if I only had one lense I'd take the persimmon over the black iridium cuz I like to see where I'm goin.
