The difference between the Road lenses is very very small, but the best for bright/sunny conditions would deff be Road Black since it’s the darkest of them, 11% VLT.

As far as best place to buy frames & lenses would be an Oakley Vault, they usually always have different models on sale. Also Oakley Forum has multiple different exchanges, which is especially good if you are looking for authentic X-Metals which are out of production for sometime now. Lots of really good stuff from collectors on the forum.

eBay is good too for a deal, but it can be a hit or miss. You really need to know what you’re buying/ looking for & need to make sure you find a reputable seller with good feedback/reviews when you purchase from eBay, because there are a lot of tricksters out there. Good luck

I love the Deep Water the most from the ones I've tried, but the Field is excellent for baseball and golf (although the newest Field lenses have a yellow tint at the edges that the ones from a year or so ago don't, at least the ones I just got). I'd love to try compare the Maritime to the DW in person though; I hear Maritime is awesome too - not sure if it's better than DW though.

Maritime is awesome ..... i have them in a Gascan (put them in a First Cav. Edition
:--)
and a Flak 2.0 XL

Each time i wear them i feel like a Navy Seal

although everyone looks at me strange when i peep around corners in the supermarked, looking for the Vietcong or Taliban

I like all the ones on my list, but in this order:

1. Snow Sapphire
2. Road Black
3. Field
4. SWP
5. Tungsten
6. DWP
7. Snow Black
8. Snow Torch

Actually i was looking for snow torch for myself. Mainly for darker snowy days. However, i'm not sure about that 4% difference vlt between the sapphire and torch, how do they compare? Fairly equal?

 

[skg]

In my opinion the difference is noticeable. Snow torch is on the edge between medium to low light, while sapphire is bright light. Pics below shows torch on top, sapphire in middle, black on bottom

Yeah that looks noticable. Would you say torch are a good overcast snow lens, or is trail torch or low light better if you've tried them?
