Oakley Beginner
Hey Gang,
Joel here. Firstly wanted to say G'day as this is my first post on this awesome forum. I have already learnt alot so far and I love looking at everyones collections.
I'm from Sydney, Australia and long story short I'm in the market for an upgrade.
I've fallen in love with the Batwolf and Antix models and have been having difficulty choosing which model but more importantly which polarized lens.
I'd prefer something which does not affect colour and the two options I have are either Black Iridium polarized or Grey Polarized.
I want a natural look and I prefer lenses where you can't see the wearers eyes. I've tried both the lenses on in shop and couldn't really tell all that much difference between them however the lighting wasn't the best as it was indoors.
Is there any main differences between the two lens choices? Which do people prefer? Will the iridium lens last as long? What are the pros and cons?
Cheers guys I've had a look on the oakley site and they suggest that the iridium is for extreme light. I do alot of fishing so they need to be polarized. They will be worn for everyday use. I can't go outside without wearing them. And I'd prefer only one choice for now as they will be ordered on the custom section of the oakley site as a b'day present. They will set me back around $300.
Thanks alot guys I much appreciate any info or help you can offer me.
ALSO
This is my very old pair of oakleys that I've had for something like 5 or 6 years. Wanted to know if there's any demand for this model as it was very popular in its time.
