RevantPolarized Replacement Lenses for Oakley Carbon Blade Ice Blue MirrorShield

Confermo quanto riportato nelle altre recensioni ovvero che le lenti sono più sottili delle originali e quindi non aderiscono bene alla montatura. Inoltre non aspettatevi la qualità delle originali. Contattata la Revant, afferma che le lenti sono costruite per aderire perfettamente il che è palesemente falso. Sto risolvendo tramite un ottico con delle rondelle da applicare tra lenti e viti o tramite viti più corte.

Le lenti risultano molto più sottili di quelle originali obbligando l'acquirente ad inventarsi un qualsivoglia spessore(rondellina o gommino) per poterle applicare alla motatura. Se paragonate a quelle originali sembrano un giocattolo. La specchiatura è buona ma non totale.Lato positivo: risultano molto più leggere, il colore della lente è molto accattivante e per ora la qualità visiva risulta buona anche come polarizzazione.

THE GOOD:1. Cool colors 2. Relatively low price 3. Good fitment (just don't lose the original screws and washers!) 4. Polarization 5. More than adequate light blocking 6. Cool mirror look.THE BAD:1. Much thinner than OEM 2. Peripheral distortion (can be a bit annoying while driving) 3. Warm hue when looking through it (may not be an issue for some) 4. Eyes can still be seen under some conditions 5. The bottom is much sharper than OEM (not an issue for me, but if it touches your cheeks, like another reviewer experienced, it will be very irritating)THE VERDICT:For the price ($36), these are decent, and come in several cool colors. They are far superior to the $5-10 gas station stuff, but since they are specifically designed for Oakleys, they definitely disappoint. So I am ordering the Elite lenses ($59) from the same company, and will review those as soon as I try them. If those turn out to be great (let's hope), I would strongly suggest Revant selling them under a different page on Amazon, since these lower quality lenses might drive a lot of customers away from the company. If they shelled out about $400 for a pair of sunglasses, it's safe to assume they want high quality.UPDATE:Finally got the Elite lenses (Polarized Titanium MirrorShield). They are much thicker than the standard ones I initially reviewed, virtually indistinguishable from the original Oakleys. The bottom edge is still not smoothed down the same way, but nobody can see that. The light is blocked the same, the hues are neutral just like the originals, which I love, and there is 0 distortion. The color is lighter and cooler looking than the original black. At $59 these are a bit more than the Enhanced line, but much much better, and well worth it. Unless these fall apart within the next few months, I'll be getting more lenses from Revant.

Exact replacements for my Oakley Carbon Blades. Very high-class functioning lenses for an economical price!!! Really revived my Carbon Blades with the clean Ice Blue look!!!

Just as all hope was lost of recovering my Oakley Carbon Blades, as Oakley dont sell replacement lenses for these, I discovered Revant lenses. I purchased them and they are a great fit. even if not 100% match they are as good as perfect and I can enjoy wearing my Oakleys again. I will probably order another pair of lenses for backup. I am so happy!
