I do like the lens, but that is my own personal opinion. There isn’t any iridium coating (that I know of). If you aren’t familiar with that lens, it is a contrast polarized lens that has a rose/purple look when looking through it, with a grey-ish look when looking at them. I think the pewter/prizm daily polarized is a nod back to the original wiretaps’ cement/OO BIP colorway. There ARE unobtanium socks in the back of the wire frame similar to all other wire pairs, which makes them comfortable. The temples have some unique styling (it is all metal by the way, not unobtanium style detail). They have that subtle ‘Oakley’ wire look. I think to me these remind me of a cross between the half wire 2.0, and the original wire taps. The spring hinges make these really comfortable, and I personally think these fit very similar to a Flak 2.0, original Flak Jacket, maybe even half jacket 1.0? The lens is taller versus the Whisker 2020, which I do like. The fit on these is extremely similar to the square wire 2014, but with spring hinges. I consider myself to have a large/extra large head (hat size 7 5/8 - 7 3/4). Anyhow, a few key comments with pictures below: It is still a sweet color for people who like that, just not for me. One thing I think we all know is Oakley/Luxxotica’s quality control is subpar which is actually why I am not keeping the deep water/lead pair, the hinges don’t feel right (I had this same problem with a pair of whiskers too). Between the two of them I personally prefer the daily/pewter. I like the half rim design in a wire frame- and I actually got 2 different color ways, prizm daily polarized in a pewter frame, as well as prizm deep water polarized in a matte lead frame. These were on my list to pick up because about 10 years ago I got a pair of half wire 2.0 and I loved them, they were actually the first pair that I really liked. Hi everybody- I picked up a pair of these Wiretap 2.0 glasses a couple days ago.
