Oakley Gibston, Black Ink w/ Prizm Ruby Polarized

— Show original

Lightweight, protects from the sides, polarized.. There's a lot of good in these. Prizm Ruby is one of the most versatile (=suitable for many) Oakley lenses, which brings a nice color boost and warm color scheme. The light transmission value (VLT) in these is 17%, which is not the darkest, but they are well suited for sunny and partly cloudy situations, e.g. when driving. The curvature of the lenses combined with polarization should significantly reduce reflections, but not completely eliminate them. This product is suitable for many, but not for everyone. It's a matter of whether you want such sporty glasses with a reddish mirror surface or not, and on the other hand, the larger Gibston XLs are also an option.

The glasses are durable, suitable for use with both motorcycle helmets and bicycle helmets, and at least the Prizm polarized lens is optimal for many types of lighting. Especially on less bright days, the glasses are not too dark for mountain biking, for example, they protect the eyes and the visibility is still good. They do not fog up easily, at least not on my head. It is worth trying the XL models if the normal model feels too small for my head. I bought other similar ones after years of use. The lenses have held up well to use, but they gradually wear out, especially when riding a lot off-road and if the glasses are not stored in their protective bag.
