I was looking at getting the blue iridium for my c-bars but some people say that it isnt as mirrored as the dark grey or fire.  does anybody hav a picture because the photo on oakley's site doesnt really help.  Thanks +k for good answers

You plan on using at as your full sun lens? I use mine for partly cloudy days mostly in the spring when the sun can pop out and be super bright.

its not as mirrored as fire but its a badass looking lens and nobody will be able to see your eyes

its not good for dense clouds or low light. Hopefully you have a persimmon lens that you could use on stormy days.

What color frame are you putting it in? It along with emerald are the coolest looking lenses in my opinion

im just saying you need a lens that has a higher light tranmission to compliment your dark grey and blue iridium.

Maybe consider pink iridium if you have a dark grey and are only planning on using two lenses. Pink is much more suited to cloudy weather and you will use it much more
