Black Iridium Vs. Slate Iridium

[Deleted member 24]

Does anyone have a pair of black iridium and slate iridium they could take a photo of next to each other so I could see a comparison. I'm wanting to buy another custom and haven't owned a slate iridium in a while. Also, I know they are both iridium coated, but which one has more of a mirror look?

Definitely Black iridium, I have slate iridium in my canteen's and they don't have nearly the mirrored look Black iridium has. It's a very light lens, you see your eye's much easier. It's a great lens but to me not really a fan. Doesn't seem dark enough, and i don't like how an iridium lens is so transparent.... hope this helped.
I'd put Chrome first, Black second, and Slate iridium third on level of reflective mirror look

yeah Slate works for me more on overcast days or at dusk...nice lens but for mirrror and sun transmission go for Black all the way

I have slate on my flak jackets. I can try to take a picture of the next to my black iridium fuel cells

The Slate Iridium looks more like mirror. That's why I picked it for my JW Dispatch. It matches the chrome sliders better than the Black Iridium did. Black Iridium looks more like gunmetal or Black Chrome to me. The Slate is a great lens for overcast days though

Check out a pick on post number 57... http://www.oakleyforum.com/oakley-sunglasses-discussion/822-what-oakleys-you-wearing-today-6.html

Alright here are some pictures. Ontop are my grey smoke slate iridium flak jackets on bottom are my live strong with black iriudm jawbones.
I personally wouldn't buy slate iridium again I don't like that you can see my eyes like warm grey.
