You have retina burn, retina burn is antifreeze.

How about someone finds a picture of an antifreeze frame and a "retina burn" frame and see the color comparison?

See how the frame is lighter than the ANTIFREEZE riggers? Retina burn frames are considered antifreeze. Someone prove me wrong.

those are antifreeze as well. I have those goggles and the riggers are darker because they have a satin finish whereas the frames are glossy, thus giving it a brighter appearance.

the retina burn is like the neon yellow ones Sammy wore when he won X-Games.

Those riggers pictured are satin. If they were gloss, there would be hotspots from the flash, much like the ones on the frames. Plus, that is the stock antifreeze setup: satin riggers, gloss frame, retro Oakley strap.

Go to the Custom Crowbar Creator on Oakley's website. You can pick Retina Burn frames and Neon Green (antifreeze) riggers. Then you will see the difference.

hope that helps.
