I'm wondering which of the oakley lenses look like these. Click for larger image They don't look mirrored and that's ok but it looks like you can't see through from the outside. I've gotten different responses so could someone that has either of lenses let me no.

Dark grey. The black irid is a brown lense when you look through it. I had both and the black irid is a way more versatile lense.

Fair enough. I had dark grey, black irid and hi yellow and prob used dark grey like twice last season. It just has no contrast. Great in supper bright sun but even when you get in shadow you can't see any definition in the snow. I use the black irid by far the most and it looks good too I think.

If you're just look for the blacked out look, then get dark grey.

Black iridium: Click for larger image

Dark grey: Click for larger image

Back iridium has a mirror finish because of the iridium coating and dark grey is pretty much just black.
