That is an absolute bargain, I have some and they are superb.I wouldn`t wear them in the dark though. You can also get clear lenses for them for the winter.Smarter than the average bear.0 -
I got a pair of Oakley transitions a few weeks ago. They are the VR50 lense, so for weak/moderate levels of sun. They are ok, but they don't seem to go light enough or dark enough as I would hope. I used to have polarized lenses on my old ones and I miss these for cutting down the glare you get with sun on wet roads, etc. Personally, I will probably go back to using different lenses for different conditions. A set of regular, persimmon, and polarized should cover all bases. (I've found persimmon fine for riding at night as they increase contrast)0

No, you need a clear lens for the dark. I put a clear lens in for the winter.
However, you might be ok with the MTB ones which let in twice as much light as the road ones.Smarter than the average bear.0 -
I've got a pair of Flak Jacket XLJs with transitions lenses, they're pretty much all you need barring riding in the dark when I fit some colourless lenses. I wear contacts and need some form of protection all the time. Barring pitch black you'd find the transitions fine IMO, but APIII has a different view, so one man's meat etc etc..."The only absolute statement is that everything is relative" - anon0
