Homemade DriveWear

[drk]

Remember...remember when...when Younger introduced Drivewear, where it...where it was a polarized green for driving that darkened to a brown polar outdoors?

Remember that?


That was awesome!

Now, excluding the polarized green aspect, I want to re-create the Drivewear experience, without Drivewear. (But I'm still using Transitions! No harm, no foul.)

How would I do it?

I'm considering CR39 Transitions Extra Active with a 1.5 (~30%) overtint.

Would that work?

I'd be hesitant to overtint a photochromic - the high heat of the bath can't be good for those delicate little silver halide crystals. But if your lab will give you a burner set of blanks - then give it a shot. *shrug*

Essilor just announced they now allow it for VSP.

"Transition XtraActive Polarized" SV/MF/PAL whichever is applicable
Choice $75
Signature $70
Polar charge + XtraActive (New Gen) whichever is applicable

I wonder if a chemistry clip comes in a light green polar? If it does put that over the top of the Trans Xtra Active lenses.

tmk, Chem clips’ only non polar is G-15. But all their lenses block UV’s which would diminish/limit/eliminate a trans lens ability to darken.

Can I ask... why?

Like, why not just order drivewear?
