Just got some OCP Frogskin lenses to pop into some Matte Blacks. Love the outside. It's a true green that even Emerald can't touch. From the inside, Jade isn't bad in it's own right. It gives almost grey-reddish tint. Emerald is still my overall favorite to look through, giving a blueish tint that can't be touched. But I'll probably end up wearing my Jades more since it just looks too darn cool!

This lens has a nice green iridium coating which looks great from the outside. Even though it's a grey base looking through the lens gives everything a slight blue tint. It's actually very nice and doesn't seem to darken much your field of view much at all so it's perfect for almost any light condition. It's polarized equivalent is my favourite lens at the moment.

I gave them a try on M-Frame instead of G26 (I always wanted this kind of green) just for the look.

I must admit it's also great to wear: the dimming isn't strong but there is an overall viewing enhancement (very comfortable)

I love this lens. I have these in my anti freeze radars and I get so many compliments on them. The lens from the outside is a thing of beauty. Yes it's grey based but that doesn't bother me. I've tried on the g26 and while it is a nice lens it gives me a headache after awhile. I wish this would replace the boring emerald.
TERRORISM -
For years Oakley enthusiasts sought after the G26 due to its beautiful green hues which seemed to surpass the popularity of Emerald Iridium (at least in terms of color, not function). Oakley finally listened and released Jade Iridium, which boasts a beautiful green chroma on a grey-based lens. This new iridium allows the wearer to effectively don their glasses in medium or even bright light conditions, which was a serious drawback for the G26 hue. While I would love to see this lens in more frames, the "exclusive" appeal factors greatly due to it only being offered in the Radar (thus far)...

I like this lens. Pretty. I've worn it 3 times, and it just didn't seem to dim the ambient light much. It's great for display and occasional use. It gets a lot of compliments. Some functionality, just not enough for me to use it more often.

I have jade iridium on my Radar XLs. As far as external looks are concerned, the jade iridium looks absolutely fantastic. Looking straight onto the lens, the green in the center seems to fade to a violet along the edges. Although this lens lacks the contrast functionality of the G26 lens, the gray base makes for a much more user-friendly lens that I welcome on a limited edition frame like the Anti-Freeze Radars. This lens stands out on display and on your face, but the lack of functionality forces me to give it 4 skulls.
