Review on ๐Ÿ•ถ๏ธ TightropeIce MirrorShield - Revant Polarized Replacement by Brian Price

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good solution for cracked, scratched Oakley Tightrope lenses.

Excellent solution for cracked and scratched Oakley Tightrope lenses. These lenses arrived (quickly!) in a nice box with a brand new eyewear protective case. The lenses fit perfectly and were very easy to install, taking no more than 2-3 minutes in total. The lenses came with a micro screwdriver that worked great. As for the lenses themselves, they're fine. Let's be clear what it is: It's a plain, good quality, gray polarized polycarbonate with low transmittance. If you choose Maui Jim or Costa Del Mar glasses, you'll likely find that these glasses don't quite measure up. But they're certainly not bad, and they're as good as the original Oakley lenses they replace (which aren't anything special either). And they're $30, not $300, so it's a fair deal. These lenses are dark. I might regret not getting one with slightly higher permeability. I don't think they should be darker. As some have noted, these lenses are thinner than the original lenses, but that doesn't bother me. The originals were thicker than I expected. Overall good value for money. Better than spending another $300 on new shades.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Long Wait
