Any recommendations? Have some Radar Paths with Gray (sic) lenses but need something lighter for winter.

Thinking probably yellow or persimmon - any thoughts, the choice is somewhat bewildering...

Normally clear, but I have some persimmon which do brighten dull days nicely

Clear - Black transitions if they are available for Radars. Bob on for everything from night rides to full on summer sun.

Yellow for me. Anyone else find the transition lenses steam up more than normal ones?

Was thinking of sticking with the orange I've been using most of the year, might try my clears once where into winter proper.

Depends on the weather

Houns as the Oakley expert are transitions any good for riding in the dark or would clear be the best option?

Transition lenses were 130 quid!!!!!! Went for Persimmon, should do the job.

I use the Clear/Black transition in my jawbones and they are great from night to bright sunlight. Will be getting a pair of them for my Radars as soon as I can

I was on the lookout at the Cycle Show for some of those lenses for my Half Jackets but no luck. Did get another set of Half Jackets with polarized lenses though so not all bad. Means I've now got 3 Half Jacket frames and about 9 sets of lenses!
Mostly use the brown Transitions but they're very subtle in colour change. G30 or persimmon are the other two that I mostly use.

I don't think they did that lens for the HJ?

This thread reminded me that I should go and look for them online and I've just realised they don't do them for the Half Jackets; they do it for the Flak Jackets.

Just got confused with the names... 😳

Heh you also have the fast jackets and new half jackets too to confuse things more

Been riding with persimmon almost all year round (except really sunny days) and clear before that. Can't say I noticed a difference at night and persimmon is good on odd days when sun comes out and you just need something to cut down glare.

Clear for me. They do a surprisingly good job at cutting out the glare.
