Splice Goggles, emerald iridium -

- Great clarity and contrast.
- Tint is very subtle and makes things look natural to the eye.
- the lens looks much more 'blue' than 'green', only green from some angles.

This review is in reference to the VR50 Emerald Iridiums for Crowbar snow goggles. This is hands-down the best all-around and most versatile lens for snow goggles. After using a myriad of other lens colors in all kinds of conditions, I've found the VR50 Emerald Iridiums have the widest range of applications. They are excellent in everything from a sunny day to dim/flat light conditions. They even perform well in the extremes of super-bright and night time riding, but of course Oakley has more "specialized" lens that would do you best for those conditions (for example fire iridium and high intensity yellow, respectively). The VR50 base is a great middle-of-the-line tint and the iridium coating darkens it down a bit while providing good contrast. The coating isn't blatantly green as the "emerald" description implies. I'd say the coating reflects as a combo of green, blue, with a slight look of pink iridium and gold iridium. The color changes depending on the angle (similar to how the fire iridium changes). The iridium also provides that coveted mirror finish. No question, these are the best looking and the best performing snow goggle lens out there. Worth every penny.

I have these lenses for one month now and I love it. I'm recommending them 100%

Very hard to find, but it is certainly worth it if you do. VR50 Emerald Iridium is an exceptional lens to both look through as well as look at. Though it won't do too great a job in bright conditions, it is a fantastic option for lower light conditions. I only wish it was available in more styles.

I have these custom cut for Eyepatches. I love them. They're not great on really bright days, but they're good for those hazy, but semi-bright days where there's no excuse not to wear shades.

I have these lenses in a set of crowbars and i must say that they are the best all around lens ive ridden with. I have rode these at night in a blizzard as well as daytime with blue skies and i have yet to find a reason not to like them. The only downside is they can be expensive... but its well worth it!!

Really great lens. Looks more like deep gold/brown/amber than green though. Only when the light hits it just right do you get a greenish reflection. It's a bit like emerald slate in that regard but the base color is far more interesting and has increased contrast to boost. It's very pleasant to look through and providing there isn't to much light you can wear it all day without any fatigue. I would love to see it in more frames but for some reason Oakley seems to have given up on this lens...

My favorite low light lense, maybe just because they were that hard to obtain *lol.
The mirror is very gold-green (not like emerald ir. or emerald slate) and the base is very comfortable.

Hard to come by, but worth it if you can find it. I'm only familiar with this lens on a Why 3 and 05 frames. A great lens option for overcast/lower light, and the Emerald Iridium coating is not very reflective, but adds a great level of depth and color to the lens.
