Looks like Chrome Iridium

- 07/30/2017

Since you're likely replacing the original Oakley lenses, I'll do my best to relate these Galaxy lenses to what they'll be replacing.

Appearance (from viewer), and visual (as worn) depends on the color of lenses that you choose.

SILVER:

Appearance:
The Silver lenses, are polarized and have a reflective coating (similar to Oakley's Iridium coating). The appearance is a shiny silver, mirror like finish, that easily hides your eyes from the viewer. On a scale of 1 – 10 with 1 being completely clear and 10 being completely reflective, I would rate the silver lenses at 8. The lens color remains silver regardless of viewing angle. This lens is going to be most closely matched to the Oakley Chrome Iridium lens, though the Galaxy lenses are slightly more reflective. The casual view, and possibly even an Oakley enthusiast, will not be able to tell these are replacement lenses.

Visual:
The Silver lenses, give an even gray tint similar to the Black lenses. The view is very similar to the Oakley Chrome lenses, though at 18% VLT, they're slightly lighter than the original Chrome Iridium lenses which provide 12% VLT. The color of the lens remains consistent regardless of viewing angle, just as it did from the outside. Similar to the appearance, this lens will be most similar to the Chrome Iridium lens.

Fit:
The Galaxy Lenses fit securely into the frames of my Oakley Flak 2.0 glasses. I've got 3 frames (White, Retina Burn, and Orange Flare). I can easily interchange the lenses on all three frames with any of the original Oakley lenses, or Galaxy Lense replacements that I ordered.
The Galaxy lenses are slightly thinner than the original Oakley lenses, but not enough to make them loose. They snap in firmly and don't move around in the frame. I'm a runner, and have had no issues with unwanted movement from the lenses.
The shape of the Galaxy lenses are visually indistinguishable from the Oakely XL lenses. The shape and size of the lenses look original, though when worn they do seem to be slightly larger than the original lenses. Not enough to be an issue unless your original lenses are touching your face. I normally have a slight gap between my face and Oakley lenses, but with the Galaxy lens that gap is even smaller.

Overall opinion:
This is a great choice in replacement lenses. The appearance, and visual are consistent regardless of angles and lighting, which are very similar to the original Oakley Chrome Iridium lenses they're replacing.

As with all Galaxy Lenses, these are a fraction of the OEM cost of Oakley polarized lenses, so that's always a plus.
