I should Work at Oakley
Everything on Oakley.com is stating that 24K Iridium is 23% light transmission- so at some point it was changed because as many know it once was 13%.
But my question is does anyone know when it changed? I have some custom cuts (from Big Tacos) for my PB1 that were done a couple years back and I those are definitely 13% so if I had to guess I'd say this change has been in the last couple years (especially considering o-review has just changed their database to reflect 23% in the last month or so if memory serves) although if it's only being instituted for new models or when it might have changed at what manufacturing dates for existing models it's impossible to know.
Very unfortunate either way going forward as this is among the finest lenses Oakley has ever made and it's essentially a useless product (at least for me) with that transmission rate- I'm blind at 17% and 14-16% is pushing it even when it's cloudy.
