Looks like cutting out too much glare can be bad thing in some ways. I don't ski but good to know in case I ever decide to try. As for full face helmet, it's the computer effect that's gonna be a problem I suppose?
Amazing information. I know about the the angle test for polarized lens but never knew Oakley's cut away bottom up glare. But does make perfect sense now that you mention it. Tint options are indeed limited for frogs. Don't see shallow blue (I prefer contrast) anywhere. Pity.
Thanks for the detailed explanation. So now I know the science behind it. No wonder I see great when driving on a rainy day. I look right through the rain splatter on my windshield. While without my polarized frogs, the droplets are a real distraction.
Out of curiosity am I correct to say polarized lenses are designed to be worn near water? Is there any visual difference between polarized and, say iridium, when looking at everyday things on a bright day?
My preference for contrast came from having owned both bronze polarized and grey polarized. Somehow things look more detailed through the bronze. I'll give OO BIP a try. Seems like it's got quite a few fans here.
I'm looking for a new set of lens for my frogs. Anyone compared any of the above lenses before? I spend a lot of time in the sun and near water so priority goes to cutting out glare. Any feedback is welcome.
I've been using Bronze polarized. Love to try a iridium. Which should I go for? Guess contrast type works for me. And honestly why should people pay more for polarized when iridium cuts glare too? Can anyone enlighten me?
I'm only half way through this thread and I'm already terrified of buying over the internet. Starting to wonder whether the ones I have now are fakes. Can anyone recommend online sellers who are safe to buy from? Other than Oakley.com of course.
Hi there, I've been a long time fan of Oakley. Ever since I first laid eyes on a pair of Frogskins that my friend was wearing nearly 15 years ago. I can now afford to own a few pairs myself and am loving every chance I get to use them.
