Zenni Optical Photochromics vs Transition Xtractive vs Xtractive Polarized vs Sunglasses

[@dant62]

Excellent comparison, the most useful on the platform. It would be nice to see if the Transitions Polarized work well enough at polarizing light to be worthwhile.

I have Blokz Photochromic from Zenni and it seems to get much darker than that generic Zenni but not as dark as Xtractive.

Super helpful video! I was worried if the transitions would get dark enough for my sensitive eyes. Your side-by-side comparison helped a lot. Thank you for posting.

doing the lords work, thank you

i wish this video existed sooner lol.
hey, can you also compare the anti-reflective coatings between the clear glasses, xtractive, xtractive polarized and the zenni photochromic glasses?
i have high end Seiko frames with Clear Zeiss lenses and when i compare the anti-reflective coating of my Seiko's to my new pair of Zenni photochromic the difference is night and day.
almost as if the Zenni's don't even have anti-reflective coating at all (i mean they do have AR coating, there is a green hue to the reflections but it basically reflects everything around you where the Zeiss glasses barely show any sign of reflections at all)
at first i didn't really think much about this because i figured maybe they just have to apply poor anti-reflective coatings to allow more light to go through the photochromic paint inside the lens, but since you actually have 3 different types of photochromic and a pair of clear glasses (presumably also from zenni?) that would be really nice if you could compare between them all and see which type of lens has the better anti-reflective coating

Do you have a tips box or anything like that? Would love to see gen s, drivewear, and the new "eyeqlens" and would love to help fund it!

Thanks brother

Ok, but how does Zenni’s generic compare to regular Transitions (not their XtraActive ones)?

[@roberttrinies7698]

Seems that the Transitions Gen 8 should be in this comparison, they stay clear indoors but don't darken behind the cars windshield.

[@RockSleeper]

Are the generics the Bloxz option from Zenni?

[@Kyle-cb8xv]

i am in and out a lot for work I need something that can take the brightness down just a little thoughts?

[@JevgenijMisevic]

Are basic photochromic grey ore brown color?

[@mikmess6129]

What is the difference between xtractive and xtractive polarized indoora and out? Is the polarized better if working on a computer

[@jaleesa00]

Probably

[@PJBlanco]

Is it my impression or the xtractive polarized is not as dark as the xtractive?

[@roberttrinies7698]

Maybe it's because the polarizing blocks some of the light that makes the lens darken..?

[@yogibear6084]

correct.

[@LastTrump7]

Are there any negatives to Transition’s Polarized glasses indoors?

[@doyenguy]

No, although the Xtractives always have a very slight tint indoor--they are not completely clear. You won't notice this, but other people looking at your glasses might.

[@bryocx]

Great video, what do you would you recommend for someone with a tight budget?

[@shaylatrice7723]

Zenni in my personal opinion. I purchased from there last year and they did really good.

[@rapidrevolver420]

Are the photocromic lenses the gen 8 Transitions ?

[@doyenguy]

The generic photochromics might be, but Zenni Optical doesn't say what they are. They don't seem to have great performance. I suspect they are not any generation of Transitions.

[@cbrophy]

They just came out with a new one called Transition Drivewear if you're so inclined to review another 😂
