Does anyone have any experience with the new RP Photochromatic Clear lenses?
In principle they sound ideal as a lens for all occasions, but how good are they in bright daylight?

I've got the grey photochromatic lenses, but something about them can cause a small amount of visual distortion in situations where the light is variable (like riding through thick trees on a very sunny day), or if the road is wet. I think it has to do with the polarization. I keep those lenses for everyday driving & hanging out then use either the blue or red lenses for riding & racing.
I didn't know they did that? I'm so going to check that out.

How do the photochromatic lenses work in the car? I thought they needed UV to change color and car windows filtered it out.
