^ not really dude.

the black iridium lense is pretty flat .... no reflection...pretty dark tint...can still see the person's eyes etc.

It's the black one that is polarized that gives off a shiny reflection.

Blk is the best your going to get. It is mirror in sunlight. A flash of a camra does not show the reflection.

hmm...depends on what tint you want.

I think the only black lense that is mirrored is the expensive polarized one. Dumont was rocking them in one of the Freeskier videos (empire takes over area 51) and they look pretty mirrored.

I have a pink iridium lense...and it's a dope lense...real versatile ... it is mirrored but not as dark a tint as the gold iridium etc.

The most reflective ones i think ... are the fire iridium, blue iridium etc.

iridium hardly does anything, its more cosmetic than anything
