They used to do a Pieterson edition of the Radar, It was always a mixture of the Radar and M Frames a few years ago not that sure now

Radar seem to be the shades of choice again, I've had mine for about 3 years and love them.

What would you say is the best colour lense for red ball cricket?

Supposed to be the VR28 I believe, something to do with the contrasts of greens and blues?
With regard to the pros choice one would imagine they wear the new radarlocks if the radar style is their preferred option.

Many of the pros still use the original radars but gradually the radarlocks are becoming much more popular

How do these compare to G30's which seem to be easier to get hold of?

I bought some radars with some G26 lenses a month or so ago (Got the radar range, the biggest lens). They definitely dampen greens and help the red stand out. I've never worn glasses for cricket prior to wearing these, but I really like them. Bought them at the wrong end of the season though, only got to wear them for 1 game, but will have them raring to go for next season.

Most wear radar probably now radarlock as they were released about a year ago, except for steyn and sreesanth who wear jawbone and gayle who wears frogskins or holbrook

i have polarised jawbones which are fantastic, especially with the perssimon lenses which are fantastic although there is the "all the gear ..." sledging
