Oakley Jawbreaker photochromatic lens...who's got 'em?
I got a regular pair of the Jawbreakers, but now with fall/evening/dark rides coming thought I would get their photochromatic lens
The site says 23-69% light transmission, but I have no idea what to compare that to.
Will these go clear enough to ride in heavy dusk/dark situations? Let's hear some real-world experience!

I have both Radar EV Path and Jawbreakers, both using photochromic lenses. Although I've not done any night riding with the Jawbreakers themselves, but I'll assume transmission rates are the same with the Radar EV Path. I have ridden with the Radar EV Path through night and day, in pitch black darkness where the only thing visible was whatever my Cateye Volt 800 light illuminated, and did not feel that my glasses impeded my vision (yes, there is a very minor difference, but not enough that I would deem significant).
