Lens: +Red Iridium

I got them in an Oakley sale near Paris. Only 8 were available and I got the chance to get 3 of them. Two went to USA and I kept one for myself. All of the 8 available were sample models (word "sample" is etched below Oakley logo on the lens), so there's no optic correction.
The fact that the inserts are popped in the lens seems to weaken the lens iridium which presents some micro-cracks when you observe it in bright light. A guy who got one of them removed a little piece of Iridium just by sweeping what he thought to be some dust.
The +Red iridium is also very clear and is red only when seen from the side.
Anyway, I still love them but keep them away from any kind of stress to avoid Iridium peeling.

5 skulls for this awesome design and the RX ability.
I can't retire a skull for the Iridium issue as I don't know if that's only a problem from the sample batch or if it was more common.
