What lens is Bobby rocking in this picture? Not my pic, I took it from his facebook. I thought it was the platinum, but it looks too dark.

Thanks. My friend was looking for it but neither of us could find ANY info on it, and Bobby didn't reply to my comment.

Yeah I believe they're coming out with a new blackout lens which will be the equivalent to oakley's dark grey or grey polarized. The closest thing they have to that now is RC36, which is a very dark orange, but looks basically black from the outside. I used to have one, but it was a little too dark for me so I sold it.

i think you may be talking about the gold sol x, not the rc36. gold sol x is smiths darkest lens with 7%vlt, which is still darker than next years blackout. the blackout will be 10% vlt

No, I used to have an RC36, which had no mirror, it was just super super dark orange and looked basically black or a real dark brown from the outside. The Gold Sol-x is dark, but it's got a gold mirror. The RC36 is unmirrored and you can't really see through it from the outside.
