    Looking to buy some Oakleys soon... But I'm a big fan of green, so the Jade Iridium lenses are a must have for me. Do they have a very dark tint to them? Do they have a color tint to them as well, such as things looking more red or blue than without the them?

  • @Innishannon77
    @Innishannon77 4 года назад +1

    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.

    • @eyespy0099
      @eyespy0099  4 года назад

      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.

    Nice review I'm a big Oakley fan & have a few pairs but I always get the polarize lenses. But obviously Oakley doesn't have polarized lenses in alot of colors. So I was wanting to know can you tell the difference between lenses that are polarized & that aren't polarized?

    • @eyespy0099
      @eyespy0099  10 лет назад

      yes, the polarized lens will cut back much more of the glare than he non polarized ones will.

    • @pppablo17
      @pppablo17 10 лет назад

      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

  • @eyespy0099
    @eyespy0099  11 лет назад

    it should look fine on a matte black frame but it does tend to have a rose colored tint to it when looked from the outside

  • @marcstory7840
    @marcstory7840 10 лет назад +1

    It would help to know if any of these sample lenses were polarized and whether there is a difference if you get the iridium polarized lenses.

  • @ADSSportsEyewear
    @ADSSportsEyewear 11 лет назад

    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.

  • @eyespy0099
    @eyespy0099  12 лет назад

    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.

  • @catsmanefunn
    @catsmanefunn 12 лет назад

    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!

    Hi mate, really great and useful videos you have on your channel. Just love the Oakley reviews! I have a question: I am planning to buy a tortoise Hijinx w/ dark bronze lens soon. I had a Dragon Optical Rev sg before (same structure:tortoise with bronze/ brownish lense) but it was stolen. :( I just want to know that how dark or how light the see-through of the Hijinx lenses in normal sunny circumstances ? I mean, is it a calming, clear bronze-brownish or is it closer to a stiching, yellow feel ?

  • @airsoftboi1104
    @airsoftboi1104 11 лет назад +2

    i have a pair of oakley x10's with a polarized ruby lens (i think that is the color, i got them at a sunglass hut in baton rouge and the guy didn't really have much info on them) and they are a little tight and dont really block out a lot of light, plus they are bulky. i was thinking of getting a new pair of oakleys for christmas for marching band camp next year. i used my x10's this year, and even with them on i couldnt look without squinting. i was thinking of getting a pair of black or white gascans with ice iridium lens. what do you think? i dont really like the design on any of the sport or active frames or lenses, so it has to be a lifestyle type frame.

    Cool video. Myself personally having a wider head and face I have found the Eyepatch 2 from Oakley fits me like a glove.:) True every face is different however where I live there are zero Oakley stores or any that carry any Oakley's. I did a blind buy off of Oakley's website and got lucky. Every Single day I sport them proudly. I got the newer steel color with black iridium polarized lens. Wicked awesome looking.;)

  • @eyespy0099
    @eyespy0099  12 лет назад

    it all depends on if they have all the parts in stock and what kind of shipping you pay for

  • @eyespy0099
    @eyespy0099  12 лет назад

    yes, that is the color of the actual lens regardless of the lens coating

  • @Ghostpumpkin617

  • @brendan.1979
    @brendan.1979 10 лет назад +4

    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)

    • @eyespy0099
      @eyespy0099  10 лет назад +1

      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.

    • @MrTw2009
      @MrTw2009 9 лет назад

      I hear you! My X metals came with those lenses and I swapped them out for the fire iridium and holy cow what a difference. The fire has a nice bright contrast that makes colors stand out. Fire may not be the best one out there but I really like them for driving on sunny days.

  • @taylorduval6863
    @taylorduval6863 11 лет назад

    Thanks for the video really helped. Im trying to decide on a pair of custom eyepatch 2's off oakleys site, Would you say a red metallic logo would match the ruby iridium lenses or are the ruby lenses more of an orange? figured with your collection of glasses youd be a good person to ask. thanks!

  • @eyespy0099
    @eyespy0099  12 лет назад

    depending on the angle you might be able to make out your eyes while wearing G20 black iridium. as for vr28 black iridium they should be a little darker than g20

  • @eyespy0099
    @eyespy0099  12 лет назад

    if it's always going to be overcast then you can go with vr28 but if there is a chance of some sun they i would recommend grey polarized so it will cut the glare from the sun reflective off the water

  • @mumbles420
    @mumbles420 12 лет назад

    Since I don't wear sunglasses much and not too flashy with all the colors I would have liked to see the grey vs black. I bought the Jupiter Squared in Brown Tortoise/Dark Bronze but really dislike the bronze tint so I was looking at getting the Warm Grey or Black Iridium Polarized. Any thoughts? Thanks a bunch. Like Longhorn959 said, "Best review out there hands down" though.

  • @markbetanzor1431
    @markbetanzor1431 9 лет назад

    Hi, thank you for the nice video! I'm planning on getting an Oakley specially the wiretap model but I've noticed most of the stores I went in has a stamped on it made in china, I just want to know if it's authentic even if it says that cause I saw a video about how Oakley sunglasses were made and the video clearly shows it's in the US. Thanks!

  • @064441
    @064441 12 лет назад

    Yeah, I ordered a pair of custom oil rigs, and it took them 6 weeks, because of the the frame color I chose(out of stock), but in the end I got free overnight shipping, and a free case.

  • @eyespy0099
    @eyespy0099  12 лет назад

    the frogskin are a more sporty laid back frame so it all depends on the look you are going for. as for the colors it all depends what's available but for the look i would go with something bright and loud. i don't wear polarized because my eyes are to subseptible to the sudden change in light and i get headaches

    I have a pair of Fives Squared with black iridium polarized. I was wondering if this design is different enough to spend $140 on. The Jade Iridium doesn't seem to actually present itself as much as I had thought. What are your thoughts?

  • @eyespy0099
    @eyespy0099  11 лет назад

    if you have the sun shinning directly in your face then yes, i would recommend going with as dark a pair as possible

    • @eyespy0099
      @eyespy0099  10 лет назад +1

      the ice iridium look just like the black iridium when you look through them. for golf, the best lens is the G30 which is Oakley's golf specific lens.

  • @ADSSportsEyewear
    @ADSSportsEyewear 11 лет назад

    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.

    with the black iridium, do you know if it actually lets more light in if its polarized, as I seem to be getting alot of sun reflection and light coming through on my Oakley Valves I just got, the 009236-06, polarized under direct sunlight, although I dont know if these have a mirror finish to them, and that's what I should look for to prevent that. Like IE going for a mirror polarized next time.

    • @kavinskysmith4094
      @kavinskysmith4094 9 лет назад +1

      Kavinsky Smith hey just to let the person who one upped this know, i figured it out, I didnt bother checking the fit between the lense and my cheek's in the front, and it was allowing/reflecting light into my eyes and into the glass, hence why you see ball and football players putting black lines in that particular area to prevent that. all I did was check the space between the lenses and the temples.

  • @vitorroriz
    @vitorroriz 11 лет назад

    Great Video. Do you know about the frogskins gp75? In the oakley's web site it says: "Color: Matte Black/Black Iridium" and in the 'Lens Tints' section for these glasses it shows only black iridium. But in description section it says: "The lenses are Grey to help you maintain color recognition and optimize your vision in bright sun..."
    I saw some pictures of these glasses and now I'm in doubt about its darkness. Is it grey or black iridium? Thanks a lot!

  • @dannyleber9
    @dannyleber9 10 лет назад

    I got a wierd question that I don't ever see u covering. On my oakley radarlock I noticed there is a spring loaded twin holding the arms together. On my gascans I think there wasn't any pin holding the arms together. So I'm assuming there is a different hinge/pin holding the arms together on different models. So could I get a tool that can tighten a hinge on a radarlock just in case it gets lose? Or does that not exist. Or does that never happen?

    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

    Do any of your plastic frame Oakley's squeak either when stretching the arms apart (to put them on) or when unfolding the arms? I just got a pair of Straight Jackets and they are squeaking quite loud when opening and putting them on. I'm reading mixed responses online and hope I didn't get a fake pair or something..?

    What is the difference between the Black Iridium Polarized and the OO Black Iridium Polarized lenses?

    On the Oakley website under "accessories" they list replacement lenses and accessory lenses is there a difference? So far I have not found any
