So I was using HI yellow lenses in my splices last year, and well it was rough when it was sunny.
I need a good lens for sunny days, and not sure if iridium is worth it? what does it do/
help meh

my favorite oakley lens combo was probably fire ird for sunny days and pink ird for cloudier days
hi yellow is a good low light lens, so something like fire ird, black ird, dark grey would work well on sunny days

So is it really worth the extra cash for iridium?

like someone said above iridium = reflective
they're nice lenses

dark grey isn't a bad lens, it will do fine if you're on a tight budget
