Best lense on the market for skiing in the North East. I have them on a pair of splice and an old A-Frame. Unless the sun was shining like I was on the beach in Florida, then these are the only option up here in the North. Lot of overcast, snowy, low-light ski days. Awesome
I have these lenses in the xlj version for my half jackets. They are a very sharp set of lenses. I use them for baseball on overcast days, and they brighten everything up. I also use them quite a bit for night time skiing.
I have them in a Gascan as well as an extra lens for my Wisdom Goggles. I haven't really used them, but when looking through them to get a feel for what they do was what sold me. They are a very purpose built lens. Maximum contrast with minimal shading. They are amazing for seeing definition in snow. I'm very surprised at how in-demand they are becoming...
I have these lenses in my Flak Jacket, and use them mainly for my skating. As it is inside a hall I cannot have really dark lenses, these were the ultimate outcome. They make the world just looks a bit brighter.
On certain angles you won't be able to see my eyes, but mostly you can just see them. I don't really care about that, but would love to have them completely mirroring. In that case you have to go to the H.I. Blue lenses, point is that the yellow in this lense is just so fine, it makes things a bit softer to the eye, and at the same time the world a brighter place.
I once had an Oakley Blade lens (bought in 1991) in Yellow. This High Intensity Yellow tint is in a pair of HalfJacket XLJ that I have for evening or fog bike riding. It is between Clear and Persimmon in light transmission. Better than the old Blades colour as I recall (Yellow without Iridium is still available in the Radar versions) but really a speciality low light item.
