Can anybody tell me what Lens Brad Wiggins has in his Oakleys Paris-Nice 5: Westra prevails on Mende mountain finish report?

    They look like red iridium lenses to me. Great all round conditions lens, use mine 90% of the time, only switching to yellow lenses for really poor visibility.

    I bought some Oakley last your online and ordered gold iridium thinging that that's what the lens would be like but it isn't. The ones I've got haven't got a mirror like finish like these.

    They are probably fire iridium.

    They also may be Ruby Iridium-coated VR50 photochromic lens that loads of pro's are wearing at the moment - look like the Fire Iridum but Oakley are calling them there all weather cycling lens and have a much better variety of light transmission ranges.

    Pretty much just pro issue still at the moment apart from one limited edition release last year.
