@DTM, it's not that, it's just that they used to know how to make great lenses. Now, it seems like it's much more about the bottom line.
Vuarnet SkiLynx and Julbos were some of the earliest sports glasses and mine are still fantastic. Zero spherical or chromatic aberration. Revos and RayBans were the same.
But then I was given a pair of brand new Revos as part of the race team on the Isle of Man and they look nice in the mirror but their performance is unfortunately lacking.
I'm grateful for the new shades, but I don't wear them, and they're gen. My eyes deserve better. So that rules out reps too.
