Gonna treat myself to a pair of RX Flak Jackets. I'm used to using photo-chromic lenses on the bike (optilabs), so thinking of the Oakley transitions option.

Anyone use these for biking? Which transition lens do you favour?

According to the optician the options are:

BLACK IRID TRANSITIONS WITH A/R BACKSIDE
BROWN TRANSITIONS WITH A/R BROWN TRANSITIONS WITH A/R
EMERALD IRID TRANSITIONS WITH A/R BACKSIDE
GOLD IRID TRANSITIONS WITH A/R BACKSIDE
GREY TRANSITIONS WITH A/R

Thanks
Amit

Btw, will mostly be used for road biking as I'll be too scared of scratching them mtb'ing (and will use my optilabs)!

I have Half Jacket transitions.
Can't remember which lens, think it is the brown one.

Not very impressed with them. Well not from a "transition" point of view.
The gf's reactolites (sp) go from totally clear to almost black.
My Oakleys hardly change at all. They go from a light shade to a slightly darker shade.
I like them, but would just get normal lenses next time.
Also, they don't change very quickly at all. So no good for suddenly riding into a shaded forest. But not too bad for road biking.
