After breaking numerous sunnies over the years I have decided to go for something a bit more durable. I found the Oakley Flax 2.0 XL but it seems choosing a lens is more difficult than choosing frames. I would be using them for day-to-day situations, taking my niece to the park, hiking, walking down the st, possibly a run, or as passenger in car.
I haven't decided weather to go polarised or not. I have always worn polarised although they do have their cons. My old pair were frustratingly on-off-on again as I went from sun to shade to sun. I considered photochromic although the reviews didn't seem as good. I found a chart that compared the lenses light transmission and was tossing up between Prizm Field and Prizm Trail but thought the former might not let enough light in and latter might have too much light transmission for my needs.This left me leaning towards Dark Golf with VLT of 22% although am still totally confused as I have always picked the cheapest pair I could find and not considered the VLT.
Curious if anyone has used the Flax 2.0 XL and more specifically which lens did you pick? Any suggestions much appreciated.
I don't think people buy Oakleys for the durability. Especially half-rimless. I've had a few and they're all pretty cheap plastic.
Having said that, I would definitely go for polarised.
