Hi Oakley community!

I like using my Gibston Prizm 24k Polar in winter sunny days, the vision is warmer and calid, like the spring season.

Well, the past week I went to a optic store and test the lens Prizm Tungsten Polarized versus Prizm 24k Polarized.
I was surprised and knocked at the same time. Read many good things about the Tungsten lens but expected it was very similar to my Pzm 24k P.
¡ The Tungsten lens vision was at least two time more bronzie/golden than my Gibston Pzm 24k P !
(Yes, I know one is 11% LT and the other 14%)

Does Anyone have the same experience?

Yes, they both use a bronze base but the tungsten uses a ‘bronzer’ iridium coating with gives more contrast. The gold iridium probably mutes the contrast a bit more but is more useful in brighter sun. Different strokes for different folks.
