Im from PR, price and colors of this glasses and how to buy it, please!!
Hello William, This frame is by DITA, which I do not carry. I can recommend a few similar frames for you that I carry. Also, you could buy this frame elsewhere and have it shipped to me for lenses. Please send an email to me to daniel@hicksbrunson.com, and I will put together a plan for you. Be sure to include your prescription.
Which variants are suitable for Prescription Running Glasses?
The Polar 3FX Laser Blue makes great running sunglasses. If you prefer photochromic that goes to clear to sun, then the best is the ImpactRX Laser Red. I am happy to build a pair for you. Just send an email to daniel@hicksbrunson.com and I will help you choose the best color variant for you.
They look amazing. Modern and supercool.
Yes, they do! This frame is one of my favorites to come along in quite some time.
Wow! The attention to detail on these gold square aviators is amazing! Thanks Daniel for highlighting this outstanding frame. 👍🏾
You are welcome Ralph! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
can you do it with Perupel instead of Blu? hpw much would it cost for a multifocal 3.75-3.5 1.5 sh cylinder?
Hello, We can do a purple tint with a blue mirror. For mirrors we use Blue, Silver, and Gold, and we stick to those three because we can do them in house and finish them more quickly. You can build a set of these glasses at the link here or you are welcome to call or email me: daniel@hicksbrunson.com or 918-743-6478.

between the XtraActive and the XtraActive polarized, which would be the darkest when outdoors and are they both heat activated?
They both run on the same XTRActive technology, but I have observed that the XTRActive Gen 2 Non-Polarized appear to get darker than the polarized version. I don't know how much this really matters when you consider that the polarized version is better at filtering disabling glare. All photochromic lenses are sensitive to heat. XTRActive lenses are UV light and somewhat visible light activated.
I have Graphite Green Xtractive and Amber/Emerald Gen8 glasses. After a year, I have found the Gen8 does not get as dark as they used to. The Xtractive is my favourite but wished they have a ruby lens.
Interesting. I haven't noticed that about any of my Gen 8's. The XTRActive is my favorite too! I wish they had all the colors in XTRActive.
This color is really unique....is this the full 75% sunset violet tint from Zeiss? That diamond flash coating really makes it pop!
Hey, Josh. We like it a lot! We used a 70% density on the sunset violet here.
Living in Las Vegas the heat makes the Gen S barely change outside maybe 10-15 percent in full sun, in the heat of the day.
Yes, warmer weather is a challenge for all photochromic lenses. XTRActive New Gen is still the best option in warmer weather.
I'm in Florida and have always had light sensitivity. I've tried non-XTRActive and it simply isn't enough to keep me from squinting. Even with XTRActive it's right on the verge of having to squint. Thanks to your other videos, I'm going with the XTRActive Brown Style Mirrors this time. Whenever it's time for a new pair I come to your channel. Thanks for all your help, great content!
Thank you! I'm so glad you are finding good and useful information on my channel. I invite you to shop my online store sometime as well at HicksBrunson.com. We also have personal stylists who can help you.
Very informative, Daniel! My experience with Transitions XTRActive lenses is that they don’t provide adequate filtration while driving, even on a very sunny day, and I still need to have a pair of (polarized) sunglasses. To be honest, even Transitions Drivewear lenses don’t get deeply dark behind a car’s windshield. There really isn’t a single “Swiss Army Knife” Transitions lens which functions well in all applications.
Thank you! I agree with you that the need to have a good set of polarized lenses for driving is a must. Transitions lenses are the best technology we have now for a single lens solution to all situations, but as you said some tools are better at some things. For driving, I do like my Drivewear lenses among other polarized lenses that I have for myself.
Just got GenS, I live in Las Vegas so far I can't get them to turn more than 25% dark in the 107 degree weather. The extractive worked GenS barely changed 25! Is being generous.
Wooo, Peter! 107 is hot! Yes, XTRActive is still best option in warmer weather.
I bought a pair of Face a Face frames and high index XTRActive Transitions lens with a non-reflective coating. The total price as around $1,500.00. Is this typical of designer frames? It seems awfully expensive.
That sounds about right for a high quality frame such as a Face A Face paired with high quality lenses. Face A Face uses premium quality acetate materials that look better and last longer. With Face A Face you are paying for the quality of craftsmanship more so than the name.
@@HicksBrunsonEyewear Thank you for taking the time to respond to me. I truly appreciate it. I love your channel. It's my go to from now on for when I need new frames/lenses.
What a great looking eyewear!
Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful
Thank you! 😊
Another great video. Thanks. They look great.
Thanks for watching!
grey/navy/red zyl with the amber color just filled today personally I love when the lenses stay tinted for a bit
I totally agree!
Love masunaga the tint here is awesome
Thank you!
I am a partially retired optometrist and sold my practice. The business that bought my.office no longer does things like this. I have a frame that I would like to add nose pads to. Will you add nose pads onto a frame that was not purchased from you?
Yes, we will do that. Please see the link here for instructions. hicksbrunson.com/products/nose-pad-service
How can these have a prescription though if it is one big piece of glass?
Good question. This one can't have a prescription.
What is the frame model number
This is the Kirk sun by Etnia.
Flash Blue Mirror shows up beautifully.... Can't really see the Blue tint. What is it 20% Blue tint?
It is a 30% density, but even still that is just dark enough to show up a little. The mirror hides the blue color, but you can see that the lens is slightly darker in the top than in the bottom before it is activated with the UV light.
Are the hinges flexible for people with larger heads?
These hinges are not flexible, and in fact nothing about this frame is flexible. There is a small amount of adjustment that can be done, but it may not be a good choice for those who need a larger size.
Does Gen S turn darkly even when the sun is covered by some clouds?
It all depends on UV intensity, and a little on temperature. Even with clouds you still have some UV. On cooler cloudy days they can still get pretty dark, but on warmer cloudier days they may not get as dark.
@@HicksBrunsonEyewear Thank you! 😎👍
My gen 8 turns dark in a cloudy day even in sumner so dont worry.
@@ruiamaral1974 Well, for me it's not so good because i only use sunglasses with sun and not when the sky Is overcast
Mi chiedo una cosa sulla generazione S: quando di giorno sono all'aperto ma c'è un pó nuvoloso ed il sole è coperto da qualche nuvola, si attivano lo stesso risultando piú scure?
I have Masunaga Rhindo with Amber Transitions. They are by far the most beautiful glasses I have ever owned. Incredible brand.
Amber Transitions makes a nice pairing there!
Great video. Those are some cool frames.
Thank you John!
I loved my green mirrored Xtra active lenses but I could always see my eyes reflecting back Inside. Switched to the new ruby's instead.
Yeah, some combinations of frames and mirrored lenses can be more so that way. They're always a cool look!
Great product like always.
Glad you like them!
is still available? do you ship to Brazil?
Yes, it is available now, and we have shipped to Brazil before. In the past we were required to enter the CPF/CNPJ number that belonged to our customers there. Please let us know how we can help.
Can anyone tell me how to swap the lenses specifically on the OP Aeros?
Swap how? Do you need a new prescription lens made for your Aero? We can help with that. What kind of lenses do you need?
why cant we just apply a slight tint to our regular glasses ?
Your existing lenses have scratch coatings and probably anti-reflective coatings. Lenses that are to be tinted have to be treated first so that the hot dye does not damage them in the tinting process. Once anti-reflective coatings have been added then tinting is not possible. Tinting older lenses either won't work at best or will damage them at worst.
Was the 000 designed for both men and women? They feel very loose around my ears even after adjustment. They also slide down my nose.
We fit them on men and women. If they feel loose around your ears then that sounds like you need another adjustment. If they are adjusted properly then they should not slip on most people unless they are not the right size frame for you. Sometimes adding custom adjustable nose pads will help the slipping. This is something that we offer.
Thank you! They’re very loose over my ears, seem way too large for my small head but I was assured they’d fit fine after adjustment. I’ll go back for another adjustment.
Loving this look. One random question I had in regards to Oliver Peoples aviators, specifically the nose pads. Are there any alternative nose pads that you’d recommend that fit OP aviators? The stock ones are comfortable, but I’ve had too many durability issues with them and switching them out is an even bigger pain.
To my knowledge they only use that one style of snap on nose pad that is not a standard attachment.
Nice. Two questions sir. 1) Xtractive lenses might be the best choice for sports whick is in my case only hitting the gym and yoga (indoor) and for outdoor activities (beach sports in summer, hiking, skiing)? 2) is there a new generation of xtractive coming any soon? Thanks Cheers from italy
There has recently been a new realise of xtractive so I don't think there are any new versions coming soon. The reaction times to fade back are harder to improve with xtractive as the dies need to be more sluggish so that the lower amount of energy in visible light is able to enact a visible change.
@@chrislee6650 Do you now if Gen S turn darkly even when the sun is covered by some clouds?
Hello Leonardo! I love XTRActive for all things that require spending a lot of time outdoors because they just work better in the sun, especially in warmer weather. I am not aware of a new Gen XTRActive coming soon, but it does feel like we are due for something. I think it's been about four years since XTRActive Gen 2 was released, but it may be a while yet. I think it took about ten years or more to go from Gen 1 to Gen 2.
@@HairBillyyes.
My daughter choose them bc she wanted to look like an X-men 😂😂😂
Haha! Your daughter sounds pretty cool!
I wonder what percent the tint is on the blue gradient
It's about a 35% blue to about a 25% yellow.
What company do you partner with for your Xtractive transitions. Is Xtractive exclusive to Essilor ? If you do get transitions from Essilor do you have to mention Flash or Solid mirror when buying them ? Are the Zeiss PhotoFusion®Flash Mirror similar to the lenses you are wearing in the video ? Thank you in advance.
Transitions brand photochromics are available on many other brands outside of Essilor. Essilor only uses flash mirrors that I am aware of, but it would be possible to put solid mirrors on them. I do not recommend that though for reasons mentioned in this video. Zeiss Photofusion flash mirrors are similar to these in this video.
As soon as I saw these Tom Davies frames and the Transitions Ruby lens I was hooked. I immediately popped into one of Tom’s stores in London. Now I need to find someone who can replicate the recent Fight Club red gradient lens you did. Think I’ll finish it with the Sapphire blue flash mirror. Thanks for the inspiration! Keep up the videos and the great work that you do.
I'm happy to have helped you explore your eyewear style. That lens combo sounds amazing! Let me know if I can help.
They are off the scale good. Great work Daniel. It’s so rare finding someone able to mix up tints and photochromic lenses. Are you able to use other photochromic brands such as Zeiss or Hoya? Do you deal with overseas customers?
Thank you so much! I have just started to dip my toe in the water with Zeiss. I do work with overseas customers. If you have something you are interested in creating just send me an email to daniel@hicksbrunson.com
You should do a video about Reykjavik Eyes. Another Scandinavian brand. Great video. Keep them coming, and I hope you are having a good summer.
Thank you John! My summer has been fantastic! If someone will send one of their frames to me I'll gladly review it. Have great day.
Are the Xtra active fully clear indoors?
They are what some call virtually clear. You can see a very subtle color on white paper, but most will to see this color when you are wearing the glasses. When combined with a premium anti-reflective coating they will not appear to be tinted while you are wearing them indoors.
I just got mine a few days ago and mine doesn't get that dark and look more od a brownish red yours looks more red i use a uv light then tried in sun and the sun was bright and only went tinted a little bit 😢 i even watch thia video before i ordered cause i was gonna get the blue , green or red and i loved how the red looked ...do you think it was where i got them
It's hard to say without being able to see yours. Any Ruby that I have made looks exactly like the one in this video. Brown and Amber look more well, Brown and Amber. If you were my customer I would hold your lenses next to my Ruby sample lens, and compare the two to see if yours color matches. I hope that helps.
Can you advise me how to check authentication of the lens ??
You might ask the place you bought them from if they can provide a Transitions certificate of authenticity for your lenses.
@@HicksBrunsonEyewear there is certificate card. but generally that card is general plastic card. no any seriel or any ID on it. there is no FOG ID to. do you have any essilor customer care email ...
Xtra come in red?
XTRActive only come in Grey, Brown, and Graphite Green.
Optimeyes have these?
Sorry, I can't speak for them. :-)
Daniel? You look like a _Jeffery._
Really? I know a Jeffrey. He is a good guy.
Can you do a review on the new transitons/rayban colab theyre called rayban orignal wayfarer change
do you think red mirror would look good with these ruby lenses? which color mirrors are available again?
We do Gold, Silver, and Blue mirrors on all Transitions colors, and with any combination of custom indoor tint colors. Red, Pink, and Green mirrors are limited to XTRActive Grey and Brown.
