Awesome fit, no distortion and look like Master Chief

I picked up the Bark Camo Khaki with VR50 Emerald Iridium lens. I must say that they are much sweeter than they look in the pictures. Note: backcountry website lists them as 'Dark Camo Khaki' but Oakley site lists them as 'Bark Camo Khaki'. I ski mainly in Washington state, which is mostly overcast with some sunny days. The VR50 lens is meant for medium brightness days, so I think it will great for day skiing here. What I love about the lens is that the shapes and colors of your surroundings do not distort when you move your head up/down/side-to-side. For this reason alone Oakley lenses are great. If you've ever used the Smith Phenom Sensor goggle, you'll notice colors shift as you move your head up and down, which is very distracting when skiing at high speeds. I use a Giro Omen helmet and the goggles fit great with the helmet's grooves and goggle strap hook. Depending on your nerd factor, you might be like me and think it's an added bonus that the green frame and yellow/green reflection on the Iridium lens makes you look like Halo's Master Chief if you wear a helmet.
