Why did you end up buying two sets of frames and not just extra lenses? I mean... you can never have too many frames, but.  Because I bought them when they literally had just released (First week in May) so no lenses were available except for those that came with the pair you purchased. So i purchased two of them and mixed up the sets as i wanted. -Omar- Flickr

They are not cheap so it is great you can try them out before deciding to keep them -Omar- Flickr

The polarized are super expensive... Normal lenses I think are $50-60, or at least they are for the normal Radar (pretty sure they use the same lenses)

I want to try the Clear/Black Iridium Photochromic lenses for those early morning / early evening rides when the light changes a lot. The Fire iridiums for sure are my go to lenses for now. Once winter comes around and all the trees become bare i will switch out between the G30 and G40. -Omar- Flickr

Yeah, that's part of the reason I've stuck with contacts while riding, so I can wear whatever sunglasses I want.
