I second this. If you're only going to get one lens, get the Pink Iridium.

Not fantastic, but sometimes I go with those over the mirrored EG2s I have on overcast days.

They hold up well unless the sun is shinging very bright, but on all overcast days it is great.

They are a spectacular lens for night and over cast. I would say the best overall lens is HI Persimmon, I know I know, I post it in every "pink iridium" thread, but its true. Pink iridium is not good when it is sunny.

i disagree there. if the sun comes out when im using my pink, i get really squinty/headachey. its too light for full sun. id say something like blue iridium, or maybe hi persimmon would be the ideal midrange lens.

I got a problem, according to this site, there is two Pink Iridium's:
http://www.freezeproshop.com/oakley-lens-guide.irs

Both VR50 and Pink Iridium.
Is there any difference?
Because in most case it say's VR50 Pink Iridium, but here they are both listed as diffrent lenses.
anyone know what's up with that?

Ex 1, here it says VR50 Pink Iridium:

Ex 2 here it only says Pink Iridium:

Are you sure? On Oakley's website there is only one.

The other iridiums may have other versions but from what I see there is only one pink iridium and thats the VR50 Pink Iridium.

awesome at night and pretty much any condition other than full out blue bird. I had mine on my crowbars when it was really sunny and it kinda sucked. They are great to switch during lunch when the sun starts setting and you get those trails that dont have a lot of light
