I haven't seen too many people rock the Batwolfs and still look like they're not out of an early to mid-90s music video, but my man, you have done it! Plus, a very insightful video. I ended up here because I am trying to find an after market replacement lens for the Oakley Double Edge sunglasses I bought recently. I love the way these glasses feel too. Since Oakley dropped the Big Taco frame, which was honestly a fantastic fitting and great looking frame for those of us who need larger frames for having larger noggins, I have been on the hunt for something similar in fit. I did locate a pair of Big Tacos on eBay from a fine gentleman Down Under, who I have purchased from a few times before. Unfortunately, the only Big Tacos left to buy anywhere are the ones that are a bone white in colour and have that late 60s light green accent on them. -Ralph! But I am going to make them work by finding a nice complimentary lens to go with them. Anyhow, I did want to see what iridium actually was and if it was subject to just being an Oakley thing, or if it is something that other companies may use as well... Kind of like how there are Transition lenses and photochromic lenses. Same sh!t, just that one is specifically brand name whereas photochromic applies to ANY other company who makes them. Kleenex vs tissue. Rollerblades vs inline skates. etc.

Check out Revant Optics. They have replacement lenses for pretty much any Oakley frame, including the Double Edge and Big Taco. I’ve reviewed some of their lenses in the past and they are pretty good. They also have tons of colors to choose from.

Great video man. and very informative. I have to add something with my recent experience..... I purchased the black iridium radar pitch lenses and after a day or 2 im not happy with them. I find they look quite dull looking through them compared to a purpleish pink lens that i also have. The moment i look through a lighter lens (or even a grey) there is that crisp sharp vision hdo that the black iridium doesnt have. just looks dark and dull so to speak. (im no expert with Oakleys either)

I understand what you mean. The black iridium is supposed to be dark and not increase contrast. It's designed to block out the most amount of light.

I like yellow for night driving, and the ones with the best reflective on the outside and if they can curve around your head and eyes help if you are a "welding helper" to prevent "flash burn". FYI flash burn CAN occur with your eyes shut at times. Polarized for fishing and boating takes the blinding glare off of the water, heck yeah!

Iridium gives you the mirrored look and adds an extra level of contrast. Polarization is a film within the lens that reduces glare. Glare is scattered light. Polarization makes it so that the scattered light can only come in at certain angles.

there are two types of vr28, there is the regular vr28 and vr28 black iridium. if you go with the vr28 black iridium polarized then it will definitely be darker than grey and a good color for the summer at the beach.

If you want to reduce glare you should go for a polarized lens. A standard lens will bring the glare down some but not as much as polarization. Iridium is great for adding an extra layer of color contrast and a stylish mirrored look.

when you say protection index are you referring to the uv rays because all oakley lenses, regardless of color, are 100% uva, uvb and blue ray protectant. i believe what they mean by index 1 is the amount of light the actual color of the lens lets in which would equate to how light or dark they are

eyespy0099 Man, you say that the polarized black iridium ain't so good than other light iridium color? Shit, lately, i've been thinking to get a polarized oakley sunglasses but i prefer black iridum because i think it looks very good on me, and i also have Holbrook 24k Shaun White and a pair of Ray Ban with light iridium, so i'm kinda bored about light iridium, you know what i mean? So, i'd like to try with black iridium which i really like. However, i'm really confused because i've read several comments who says the black iridium it is darker and "boring" to see through it. Is that true? Man, i really hope your opinion about this. Thanks

I recently bought a pair of Oakley Big Tacos in matte black and polarized grey lenses. I loved the clear HDO. Clear and crisp. However, I did not like that people could see my eyes through the polarized grey lenses. I work in law enforcement. I don't want people to know what I'm looking at or focusing on. I thought the polarized black iridium might do the trick. But reading Brendan Temme's comment, "I purchased the black iridium radar pitch lenses and after a day or 2 im not happy with them.I find they look quite dull looking through them... The moment i look through a lighter lens (or even a grey) there is that crisp sharp vision hdo that the black iridium doesnt have. just looks dark and dull." My question is that I thought the "iridium" lenses had no effect on one's vision, only giving the outer appearance of the lens a darker more mirrored look. I plan on visiting an Oakley store soon to try some different lenses on as I don't have one nearby. But, what are your thoughts on this.Have you noticed any difference in the quality of visions from polarized grey and polarized black iridium? Thanks
