Most Opaque Sutro Lens?

[tarunchawla89]

Hey Guys. I am looking to buy Sutro for myself. I want a lens which is most opaque (other than black). The eyes shall not be visible from outside at all (or minimum). Please suggest which lens would work the best for this. TIA

This one...
6% VLT and a highly mirrored finish

Thanks. Is it okay to wear them on an early morning bike ride too?

Not at all...they are extremely dark! You'd want a minimum of 15%VLT for morning/ evening conditions.

Got it. So among Saphire, Ruby and Road which one shall have minimum eye visibility from the outside?

+1 for No on the snow lens. They're made for .... snow and the base color is reddish. :-D

Sapphire and Ruby are pretty similar when it comes to eye visibility from outside. But Sapphire has a tint-shift effect when seen through and I find it dizzying and straining. Prizm Road would be a great choice for bike rides but it will let your eyes show through.

Your best bet would be to try them in a store physically before taking a call.

In general: the lower the VLT, and the more the Iridium coating, the less eye visibility. You playin' poker? ;-)

Lol no. I will be using it for sport only. Largely cycling. But I will be putting in a makeshift optical insert which I dont want to be seen
