actually read these things! I wrote a review on my Oakley Radars some time
ago and I had pretty much forgotten about it. Then a few weeks ago we
received a query from our website. It was from the good people at Oakley.
Keep in mind that we do not receive anything for running this website, it is
merely the love of Mountain biking that keeps it going. So when we review
products it is stuff that we have actually bought. In a way it keeps things
honest. We certainly would not rate something because we were paid to do so.
Anyway, back to the mail. The people at Oakley were very happy with the
review that I gave the radars and they wanted me to test some of the lenses
that they provide. They supplied me with the lenses for early morning use
and late afternoon use. Initially I was sceptical as to the value of "time"
specific lenses. But having used, particularly, the early morning lenses I
can say that they really do wonders! They simply enhance the available light
to make early morning rides a pleasure! If you have some Radars, have a look
into lenses they offer, they really can make a difference.
I have also recently seen that Oakley will bring their Transitions
technology to the Radar lens format, meaning that the lenses will adjust
automatically to the available light. From what I have read, it is no easy
feat to use this technology on such a big lens, so well done to the boffins
at Oakley for making this happen.
Thanks to Oakley SA for sending the lenses, it is greatly appreciated.
