I ordered Flack 2.0 xl trail torch from Amazon and was worried that they were not authentic. Since they are half the thickness compared to my other Oakley’s which are prizm gray and black iridium.
How much of a difference do these make? I currently ride with oakley flak 2.0 deep water prizm at blackstrap and buffalo pound. Just wondering if they are worth the money.
I like them quite a bit. They do make the trails pop. I don’t know how they compare to what you have since I have never tried the deep water prizm. I actually have started using the POC Devour glasses this year. Only reason I switched was because I wanted more coverage. My eyes were watering so much when riding downhill so I wanted to see if the extra coverage would help. It does. I probably prefer the Oakley lenses better, but not enough that I would tolerate the watering eyes.
I run in palo duro canyon in Texas it’s mostly sunny very bright conditions on dirt of course do you think the trail torch would be beneficial in that environment or would you recommend different lenses ?
I wear mine even when commuting to the office on asphalt and concrete. I think they still enhance my vision. They do make Prizm lenses for bright light so you may want to check out the Sapphire lenses.
They are ok in lower light. I’ve worn them during twilight and I’ve still been able to see well enough in the low light and the cover of trees. I usually forget that I have them on. But to be fair, I rarely ride in low light situations.
I can’t seem to find the exact one that mine came with, but it is the same shape and material as this other Soft Vault. www.oakley.com/en-ca/product/WA4230042RJC Mine doesn’t have the foam or hold extra lenses, just the glasses. I like it, and it seems to provide good protection, but I will say it is a bit big. I think you could probably find a more compact style hard case at a much lower price. $30 CDN seems steep.
