Pros: Comfortable, Durable, No glare
Cons: trasition is too slow and light

I actually own the brown, with brown Transition lens. But I'm sure this review will apply to these pairs as well.

This sounded like a great idea. Consider my work, which involves inspecting buildings and facilities, I walk in and out of the sunlight frequently, so my poor eyes are constantly having to adjust to relative brightness or darkness. I thought this Transition lens sunglasses from Oakley would hit the spot and soften the blow to my cornea at each transition. But in practice, these otherwise nice glasses are no better than wearing a pair sunglasses with very light tint. The frame is wonderful. It is light, yet snug on my head. I've tried playing volleyball with them and they stayed perfectly glued to my head. They fit better and are much lighter than my polarized HalfWire. They were pretty heavy and were constantly falling off my head so I couldn't do anything active with them (I use them mainly for driving).

But using it for work, as described, the transition happens waaaayyy to slow to be of any real use, and even at its best, it doesn't darken nearly enough to make any real difference. I've experimented with some ultra-violet flashlights so I know they darken, but again, only in direct sunlight (UV) and very slowly. Most Luxury cars like mine have UV filters, so it doesn't get activated when I drive. Like I've said, basically a pair of light sunglasses, which makes them pretty useless for things like driving or sports.

But... since the frame is such a nice design in both form and function, I'll be ordering a replacement lens from Oakley, probably a "bronze polarize". This should leave me with a pretty great pair of sunglasses, despite having to spend the extra money initially for the Transition (Photochromic) lens.
