Opinions On Lenses For Carbon X Squared

[discodave]

I have a pair of Carbon X Squared coming in a few days. They already have the black iridium polarized lenses in them but I'm thinking I will want something that wil stand out just a LITTLE more.

I'm thinking emerald would look good.

What do you guys think would look best. I don't want fire because my other pair has fire lenses.

Ruby will look good.

Emerald would be a good combo, but ice is another killer alternative.

A lot of ruby these days looks for "fruby", close to fire.

Emerald is a good choice or you could go jade for a more intense green. I agree ice would be a good choice, and so would violet. Probably the first question to ask, though, would be if you want a neutral tint for bright light or a contrast tint for more cloudy days. Of emerald, jade, ice, and violet, only violet is contrast, the rest are neutral. (Your fires are contrast but with a low light transmission, making them pretty good all-around).

Personally, with carbon frames I really like +red polarized for neutral / bright light or oo red polarized for contrast / low light. Throw on some LG red or white rubbers with one of those two lenses and they'll look sick...

I like the ice look in the carbon frames. That is what I currently have in my carbon Juliet's

I had ice in my carbon and the frame seemed to over power the lens and it did not look very vibrant to me. I currently have ruby in it and that seems to be quite nice and bright. Defiantly stands out like I wanted. Fire also looks nice in the carbon frame as well.

I have ruby in mine and love em.

I have a pair with ruby, ice and IH violet. All those the lense stand out pretty good. Also kept a eom polarized for ****s and giggles

Emerald would be a good combo, but ice is another killer alternative.

this along w/ green linegear rubbers like this:

I believe these are aftermarket lenses but it gives you an idea

I ordered a pair of emerald lenses (Oakley oem). Those ice iridiums are looking very tempting too!
