the "clear" sunglasses Radar EV Advancer lens is photochromatic and is clear except when exposed to sunlight, at which time it darkens. this is beneficial when active (eg cycling, running) at dawn or dusk and unable or undesirable to carry and/or pause the activity to add or remove the sunglasses as the level of sunlight drastically changes.
but, beware of the feature's limitations:
the change in tint is fast, but not instant
the effect "wears out" / stops working over time
i've never been interested in the photochromatic lenses except out of curiosity because as a suburban runner dawn and dusk are more-hazardous-than-usual because of difficulty in drivers seeing me due to low light (not bright enough to clearly see me, but too bright for reflective gear) or sun in their eyes (sunrise/sunset).
UPDATE: sorry, it's "photochromic", not "photochromatic". oakley and wikipedia call them "photochromic" (see here [oakley.com] and here [wikipedia.org], respectively), while jomashop mainly calls them "photochromic", but occasionally misspells it "photochromatic" (7 vs 2 times [jomashop.com]), including the advertised on-sale "Radar EV Advancer Clear Black Photochromatic Sport Men's Sunglasses".
