Got my Planet X in and they are frosted. Curious what Oakley has to say about some being frosted and others not.

I got my planets X frosted, and I can do a direct comparison for those who didn't get them, or for those who have the non-frosted version and want frosted very much
IMO, both models have lenses that differ slightly in color. The non-frosted version is much more gold than the frosted, which is visible only from several angles, and the reflections in the non-frosted version have much more vivid colours
Example 1:
at this angle you don't see much difference in the color, but as you can see on the inside outline, the non-frosted version has more yellow / gold color and cutouts are much wider!
Example 2:
the difference is still not very visible, but when you have well calibrated monitors, you can see that the non-frosted version has more vivid colors
Example 3:
from this angle you can clearly see the difference in the colors of the lenses
verdict:
I think the Planet X version has too much hype, i feel a bit disappointed by them-I like the fingerprint and carbon versions little better.
The Planet X lenses look awesome, but hinges with blue planet x patter looks cheap and and does not match with lenses as well as in the case of fingerprint (matte lenses and matte hinges) and carbon (glossy black hinges and glossy black lenses).
advantages of the non-frosted version over the frosted version:
- much better visibility, the frosted version has a smaller viewing surface due to the matte finish
- the reflecting lens harmonizes better with the shimmering blue graphic element of planets X
- the lens has more yellow / gold color, which makes the colors much more vivid
- much easier to clean, matt elements of planets X frosted ... are cruelly difficult to keep clean
In the next post I will put some selfies so you can see what these glasses look like on my face.Last edited:

I'd suggest going out and buying a Powerball ticket tonight now.
Mine are still lost in DHL/USPS land.

That's no Bueno. I haven't had the greatest service with DHL.
Me either. Tomorrow will be 8 days lost.
