Any Pics Of Linegear Red Mirror Lenses In Ducati X-Squared?

Thanks for the pics!

That will help me make a decision... :cool:

If you are fine with the mediocre mirror, and are looking for a lighter lens tint, then by all means you want these lenses. Looking at their site, I would be inclined to try out the "Premium Red" lenses...they appear to have a much stronger mirror. Like I said, they really are a top quality lens, but for me, on a pair of sunglasses that is really all show, I want "show" lenses. These are not it.
 
I always thought that the Linegear Red Mirror was an aftermarket version of +Red not Ruby. That is sort of what it looks like in the pictures. They both have 18% light transmission. Is that what it looks like in person?
 
No, +Red looks alot better. It's also darker. I imagine it's because of the linegear's weak mirror, but Oakley's +Red at 18% is SIGNIFICANTLY darker than Linegear's Red Mirror at 18%.

It looks to me like Lingear's "Tanzanite" is the best comparison to Oakley's +Red.
 
Would it be possible that Linegear shipped you the wrong lens?

A Premium Red lens instead of the Red Mirror?

Makes me wonder if I could have a set cut from an existing OO Red Iridium lens. That would be killer I think.

I'd also like to see a "head on" pic of those frames. With the red mirror lenses, from the head on angle, there is almost NO mirror at all.
