Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Bought models I/OS and I/O for wife and me. Both came with two lenses: Ignitor Mirror (VLT 35%, multipurpose all around light conditions) and Sensor Mirror (VLT 70% flat and low light conditions). The Sensor lens is ideal for skiing in cloudy and stormy days, we used both models during a heavy blizzard and the lens performed as well as we could hope for. Using anti-fog Fog-tech wipes we had very minimal fogging. Cons: lenses scratch very easily. We had read about that in another review so we were extremely careful. We also followed manufacturer's instructions not to wipe lenses when wet or humid. Despite all our care, lenses show some scratches just after one day of use (can't image having to pay so much attention on a regular basis!!!). At 50$ a lens, it's pretty bad when they scratch just by sitting in the box or looking at them. The hard plastic used for both the buckle and length adjustments can easily be one of the sources of possible scratches.
Update: Since the initial review we had a chance to try the Ignitor mirror lens too. We were worried the lens was too light for a seriously sunny day, but to our surprise it performed rather well. We used it in a as "bright as you can think" day (gosh... I should post the pictures here to make you believe) and it didn't let us down. The shade color allowed for a smooth transition from completely sunny to shadow areas of the slopes and we it worked well throughout the day for different lights.
Overall we are really happy with the purchase we made. We are planning to buy spares and we are seriously considering to repurchase the same lenses.
