      Which lens would you recommend for pilots? I'm a helicopter pilot and am looking to get prescription Oakley Turbines but can't decide which lens would be best. I need good contrast to cut through haze and be able to differentiate clouds etc. I would also prefer a lens that is externally blue or similar for esthetics.

      I have the Road (M2) and Trail (Flak 2.0 XL) prism lenses and so far am really enjoying them. I may have to add the new Prism Trail Torch lens this year. What I'm curious to know is, how do the Oakley Prisms compare to the Smith ChromaPop lenses.

    The prizm lenses are really amazing with great contrast and vivid colour rendition. One main drawback however, which I think you should have mentioned, is about inner lens reflection. You can notice your eyes or cheeks on the inner side of the lens and in some light conditions it's so bad that you would think the lenses are blurred with dirt.

    Hey! I will post this question also in the video about Prizm lenses for everyday, just to cover the bases: I live in an environment that is snowy at least 6 months of the year, with about 2 or 3 of those months getting very bright, whether sunny or cloudy (cloudy days are sometimes the most blinding, with bright white everywhere). Then summer it is totally green and we have 24 hours of light :) I engage in all outdoor sports -- skiing, hiking, biking, rivers, lakes, forest and mountain, etc. So I am trying to choose an ideal lens (or two) for each season -- One sport frame each, one lifestyle frame each. So up to 4 pairs of sunglasses. So far I have tried the Road Jade, Black, Ruby, and Sapphire (Grey and Road are in the mail). I loved the contrast of the Road Jade in mixed conditions, but not the rose base (especially on sunny days). I loved the darkness of the Black on the sunniest days. I found that the Ruby do not work in such a green environment in summer here! While bronze base might provide highest contrast, I simply could not distinguish as well among all the green trees and plants, as bronze seems to boost the green. And the Sapphire are supposedly grey-based, but they looked too rosy to me -- I could not see as well in the Sapphire as in the Black. So... I know there is a "snow sapphire" lens and am wondering whether it's actually meant for snow conditions, and why/how? I think I tend to prefer the most "natural" look, so grey base lenses, but which one of those would give the highest contrast? I am hoping the Sutro S with Prizm Grey will be my go-to. Which lenses would you recommend to me for the 2 main "seasons" in my environment and activities? Thanks for your time!!

    • @sportrxeyewear
      @sportrxeyewear  Рік тому

      Hello Valkoshka! We can tell you've done some homework! Based on your preferences I think you're right on point with the Prizm Road Black, especially if neutral tones in your field of view are what you're after. Snow Sapphire has the same VLT as the everyday version but with more rose in the dye to accentuate the textures among snowy conditions. Most Prizm Sport lenses utilize a rose base to for contrast and color enhancement, though it sounds like the Everday options might be more to your liking. While some options lens options are not available with Sutro S frame, you may get the most benefit from the Jade and Sapphire (polarized or non-polarized) for both summer and winter environments. Hopefully this helps but if you have additional questions don't hesitate to give our certified opticians a call!

    I just got the Prizm Road in the Sutro S for softball because they are not offered with the Prizm field lens which is weird. The rep at the Oakley store said they are very similar and basically the same, but I value your input what do you think?

    • @sportrxeyewear
      @sportrxeyewear  8 місяців тому +1

      Hello! Good question. He's correct that they are similar in that they use the same base tint (rose) however the dye recipe and mirror intensity are slightly different. The VLTs (visible light transmission) have about a 5% difference with the Prizm Field being the darker option having a vlt of 15% vs. 20% with the Road lens. In terms of contrast and performance, you're not missing much, if anything. You might actually find that you prefer the Road as it lets more light through, making it a good option for conditions with some cloud cover. Thanks for watching!

I often do games on fields with complete sun and some that will have shadows due to the stands/press box.

    • @sportrxeyewear
      @sportrxeyewear  2 роки тому +1

      Hey Jack! Because those 2 lenses are vastly different from each other and were designed for very different environments, i would suggest selecting a frame with interchangeable lenses (like the Flak 2.0 XL for example) that allows you to swap out the lenses as you see fit. However if you were to choose only 1, you may get more use out of the polarized option even though you may lack a touch of depth perception when using them for tennis.

      Hey there! On the contrary, while the Prizm Field was designed with baseball and other field sports in mind, the boost in contrast and color translates to other environments as well. The Sapphire compliments the beach atmosphere as well, but you may want to avoid polarization as it can affect depth perception when playing. Notably, tracking the ball in flight.

    Which Oakley lenses are going to make the colors pop the most? I bought a pair of frames because I heard great things about Deep Water Prizm Polarized and they came with brand new Deep Water lenses and a beat up pair of the original lenses which are Sapphire Prizm. I actually like the Sapphire lenses so much more because they make a lot of colors look basically like HD. The Deep Water lenses just didn't make colors stand out the same way it's more like a little above neutral look.
    So which lenses do you recommend for giving the most WOW factor when looking through them while still being good for sunny days?

    • @sportrxeyewear
      @sportrxeyewear  Рік тому

      Hi there! It ultimately depends on the environment for which they're to be used. The Deep Water was designed for offshore open ocean conditions. BUT if you're looking for a lens that will enhance color and contrast in your field of view for everday lifestyle or specific sports, then there are a few prizm options to consider over the Deep Water. Namely, the Tungsten, Rose Gold, Ruby, and Dark Golf!

    Which Oakley PRIZM Sport lens, would you select for the sport of Archery?

    • @sportrxeyewear
      @sportrxeyewear  2 роки тому

      Robert, this is a good question and one that we haven't covered in our content yet. However, we do have a few lens suggestions for you.
      The first thing to consider is that you'll be wanting a lens that offers high contrast. This helps improve depth perception and hone in on details at range. Another factor to consider is Variable Light Transmission (VLT). You'll want VLT to probably be around 15-20% which helps mute out bright light. You'll usually find that bronze or rose tints help achieve this.
      Taking those factors into account, our suggestions are top suggestions are PRIZM Tungston and PRIZM Jade Iridium. As a bonus, Oakley sells two shooting-specific lenses (though they are hard to find and non-Rx). These are TR-22 and TR-45.
      Hopefully this helps and good luck finding the perfect Oakley archery lenses!

      PRIZM works great for volleyball! We recommend either PRIM Field or PRIZM Tungsten(non-polarized). Both lenses offer optimal sun protection while also boosting contrast.

    Does the visible light spectrum graph have a direct correlation to the VLT of each lens?

    • @sportrxeyewear
      @sportrxeyewear  2 роки тому

      They are related, of course! How much light is allowed through the lens dictates the VLT and how much of each color makes it through dictates how much light is making it through. If you want more yellow to make it through the lens, for instance, you will necessarily increase the VLT unless you also decrease the amount you allow another color on the spectrum to make it through. It should be calculable by looking at the graph what the VLT is, but that would take a deeper dive into a number of things.

      Hello! Due to the amount of brightness experienced at high elevation and reflection coming off the snow, a mirrored lens with a low VLT will provide the best contrast, protection, and comfort on the mountain. The Prizm Black Polarized has the lowest VLT among the Sport Collection of lenses and classifies as a Category 3 lens with an 11%VLT, making it a great option for snow. However, Oakley also makes Prizm snow-specific lenses that pair with their Clifden frame that include the Prizm Snow Sapphire and PRIZM Snow Black.

    why oh why oakley no longer puts those prizm specific stickers on their glasses
    I was in two shops selling oakleys today and they only put generic "prizm" sticker on, but with 20+ prizm lenses it's impossible to tell unless you are a true prizm aficionado
    only the prizm road had "road" sticker and that was kinda easy to tell it's the normal road since the road black and road jade look very different
    sadly not that many oakley shops in Europe so it makes kinda hard to test and choose from all the lenses I read about
    also the XS variants are non-existant in stores, only online and I am around the 128-132mm SFW so some of the larger XS frames would fit me well I think (sadly the XS lens selection is usually quite limited compared to the full size variants)
