Verdict?

I'm not entirely sold on these as they don't really do much to stop glare/improve vision.

But, what is it like?

^ i have gold iridium on my crowbars, and they are reaaalllyyy mirrored, there is no way anyone can see your eyes if you are wearing them, and theyre probably as dark, if not a little darker than black iridium. i wore aframes with black iridium at night last yeat and i saw fine, but idk if its a diff lense for crowbars

^^^^
Black Iridium is supposed to be darker than Gold Iridium, but only a difference in light transmission of two (Black Iridium = 18; Gold Iridium = 20)

Are there any lenses that are good for absolutely everything? Mostly night but frequent sunny days.
Not perssimon, are there any other good ones for everything?

^u serious? on sunny days i want to use the same lens, and i don't think hi yellow is good for that.

And to the thread creator, sorry to kinda jack your thread, but i'd be "searchbar, noob"ed if i made my own.

Isn't pink irid good for everything?

Pink iridium is alrite for everything, probably the one lense for everything out there if you ask me.

H.I as an everywhere lense? Jog on mate, your eyes will leak if you use this when there is even a hint of sun around.

H.I. yellow is blinding on bluebird days. Blue Iridium, G30, G50 and Pink Iridium are the best all around lenses.

i didnt mind black iridium at night, im sure a clear lense would have been better but it worked and thats all i care about...i rode with a firelense for 70+days last year in teh rain,fog,at night, when it was sunny and when it was snowing and it was just fine. and iput it between 2 or 3 different lenses, i dont believe hi yellow was mentioned

what the hell... first of all lets correct your spelling shall we.

cuz = cause
ur = you're
especitially = especially

good. Now we can move on.

What in the hell are you talking about? I'm a gaper because of the lense i choose? I hardly think that makes sense. I want a lense that will work everywhere and look good because i dont have the money to go out and buy 3 or 4 different lenses for different light condtions.

You sir, are a cunt.

owned. Pick the pink iridium,because it's kind of a similar colour to purpled. And as muxh as you say, you will probably see better anyway, even though you could still see before.

gonna bump up this thread again, because my question still applies to the pink irid somehow.

Is the pink irid lens better on bluebird days than persimmon? or how much of a difference is there?

yes there will be abit of a difference. pink iridi8um will be better on sunny days because of the coating and its a little darker. persimmon will work fine for sun though, theres not a whole lot of differance

Darker than Persimmon? You are mistaken. The coating will help cut out glare, but the Pink Iridium is not as dark as the Persimmon.

Look at thte H.I. Persimmon to do everything, that and the G30 will do well.

Well, that's been my opinion at least, based on when I've seen them, but the conditions and the person could make it seem darker. But it's always been my experience that the Persimmon was darker than the Pink Iridium.

Clear might be a bitch, but honestly, I logged a lot of bluebird days with hi yellow last year. No doubt that my new fires will do better, but still, your eyes arent blinded by full on sunlight, you can deal.

i've had fire lenses and black iridium lenses for many seasons now and i've never had an issue with anything.. in rain, fog, flat light, blinding light, black light, rainbows, and dumping snow. sure i maybe could have seen a little better if i did have a different lens at the time, but sometimes you just gotta deal with it ya know.

Gonna pop on this thread again, to ask what a pink iridium lens would go for at a good, but findable deal. In canadian, or able to ship to canada.
Anyone bought a separate lens, and paid 70 or less?
I don't think the oakley US site ships to Canada, and they're $120 on the canadian site...

there are some green retro w pink iridium on ebay at the minute. I think ebay is your best bet for pink iridium crowbars expect to pay around $95 US, most sellers ship to canada anyway. I just ordered some bright red w pink iridium.
