The contrast on this lens is great, and it really brightens up a cloudy day and makes everything pop. I can't agree with those who say this can work on a bright day though. There is just not enough sun protection for that. Also, it's not a very good looking lense from the outside. If you are looking for a great contrast lens on cloudy days and don't really care about appearances, then it's perfect. Otherwise, you may want to look at a different lense.

I am presently using the King's Camo Radar Pitch (Woodland) which comes with VR28 lens. The VR28 is a versatile lens that helps you adapt to changing light conditions. It is neither too dark nor does it transmit too much light and as such, can be worn in both bright sunny conditions as well as cloudy conditions.

If you are looking for lens that essentially reduces glare in very bright conditions or lens that helps you face direct sunlight then these lens may not be adequate.

These really are a low-light lens. I can't say that I've ever liked them due to their niche use. They have a rose tint to them, and since they are best suited for dawn or dusk, a time which there is a rose color to everything anyway, they just result in overkill. VR28 Black Iridium is a better all-around choice. It's only slightly darker, and the iridium coating blocks so much more glare...

I ordered a set of Strike 2.0 ballistic glasses about 2 weeks ago for the shooting range. Having used shooting glasses in the past with a "plain" yellow tint, I got a VR28 lens to go with the Strikes. I just got back from the range today and all I can say is WOW. For contrast and detail, both of which you want during shooting, the VR28s are by far the best glasses I have ever used.

This is my all-time favorite base tint. It really makes texture changes pop out so cycling is a breeze with them. They work equally well on the road or on the trails. I used to ride with G30 lenses and when on the dirt, everything would blend together and I'd miss all sorts of roots & ruts... very dangerous. Then I tried VR28 and was able to pick out every subtle difference in road texture. Unlike the Bronze base tints, VR28 enhances contrast without making the world look hazy. This is a great lens color for all but the brightest of days. Definitely not for the fashion conscious, but the best lens if you're looking for true utility. Add one of the Iridium coatings or polarizing (or both) if you need a little more sun protection.

Great alternative to the G30 lens for golf if you can't get used to the pinkish hue of the G30. Good contrast lens with pretty decent color rendition and excellent detail. Very good all around tint for a variety of lighting conditions with the exception of the brightest days.

I was curious on this one when I saw the brown tint on the Oakley site. A fan of the grey lens (talking Radar Path here) the VR28 seemed to be a nice complement with its contrast.
However, I must say that it has its limits in the standard version. One is the sun protection, not very good. But on one of those mild, colorful fall days it can be the right choice.
At large it's a moderate light situation lens with warm contrasts. As a road cyclist I like that, and I have just ordered a VR28 Black Iridium polarized to get some more sun protection like in the summer.

Not very pretty on outside is the only negetive with this lens being an old rusty murky colour. But for quality and visual quality it is more than excellent. One not for the lovers of super looking fashion lenses but good in a spare pair of shades for cloudy weather, sports etc where showing your looks is not important.

one of my 2 favorite lenses (the other being titanium iridium). Suitable for a wide range of conditions from bright sunshine to overcast. Love the enhanced contrast. I have it in my chrome crosshairs and its my current fav pair for driving.

I like to use these when its not to dark or when I'm going to be out during the sunset but not when its completely dark. They also look pretty conservative so when I'm looking to look a little more professional and not willing to change my frames, I'll use these lenses.

Nice reddish brown tint. Not too dark, so they're suitable for those days when the light conditions vary from cloudy to sunny.

Turned out to be a little bit darker than I expected but sill deal with low light situations well due to their increase contrast. For evening rides I still prefer to go with a clear lens when cycling.

Very nice lens I have these in my old Lava Tens so I hope its still the same as the version in all the current oakley models.
Its a nice redy goldy lens to look through but because it does not have an iridium coating its not very protective so its better to go for the Gold or titanium Iridium if you want a nice protective increased contrast lens

I have a new VR28 lens in one of my M frames, I have a VR28 black iridium lens in a Pro M frame that was assembled by the online Oakley store. They are identical! I'm not sure which I have but they are terrific, I Actually like them better than gold or black iridium. The black iridium is actually too dark in many situations. I believe that I was given either VR28'S OR vr28 Black iridiums both times. whatever the lens are they are certainly competent ones!

I've used these lenses in a pair of Penny's. They work similar to the G30's, but have a more orange tint when viewing them. They are perfect for evenings until dusk.
