Oakley Half Jacket and XLJ Lens Kit: Ice Iridium Polarised

10% Light Transmission, Extremely Bright light.

IRIDIUMŪ COATING
Optional IridiumŪ lens coatings allow the wearer to tune transmission for any light condition. Metallic oxides are superheated to 1500 degrees Celsius and fused to the lens at the molecular level, permanently bonding to create a uniform filtering layer that optimizes contrast and minimizes glare. The semi-reflective coatings are specifically formulated for precise balance between reflection, transmission and absorption, depending on the targeted environment for usage.

POLARIZATION
Polarizing filters block glare that occurs when light bounces off horizontal surfaces. Some manufacturers sandwich the filter between lens layers, but the adhesives cause haziness. Others sandwich it then shape it with heat and pressure, but that leads to optical distortion.
