Badman Prizm or Sapphire?

[joscejrod]

No more flashy than ice, or even fire. It looks good in both frames in my opinion. I prefer it in the Carbon frame.

Yes, oakley should sell dark carbon frame (plastic is less noticeable in this frsme) with sapphire lenses.... And between fark carbon/prizm and dark carbon/BIP??

I've got both and I love the sapphire, but that's mainly for its looks. It's a gorgeous lens and is easy on the eyes. The Prizm is great too, but I like color, and the sapphire sure offers that on a silver platter.

Hopefully they'll follow on with a smaller more oval lens frame soon. As it is, I'm finding it hard to resist Plasma and Sapphire as it is, though.

This has been mentioned elsewhere; there are rumors that another neXt-metal will arrive later this year with a more Juliet-shaped lens.

Uh-oh, here we go again.

I'm really hoping they'll go more after the original 1st gen Romeo in styling. I <3 the Juliet don't get me wrong, but I love the idea of either that or the XX (something a bit bigger than the Juliet) with that original X-metal styling.

Yeah there's no telling what the exact sizing will be like until they come out.

I looked at all the Badman frame/lens combos but decided to go with Plasma/Sapphire. I personally would have loved to see the Black Iridium Polarized on the Plasma Frame or the Ice Iridium Polarized, but Sapphire really is a gorgeous color to look at. As far as Prizm goes, I personally don't like the exterior lens color. The vision you get with Prizm might be better (depending on the weather where you live as a few other members suggested) but I've always been a sucker for Blue/Iridium combos.

I'm super happy with my Plasma/Sapphire Badman but I am looking for some different lenses, specifically Black Iridium Polarized. I've spoken with around 4 different Oakley Store Reps and the answer to replacement lenses varied between "3-4 weeks from launch" to "3-6 months from launch" so yeah, not exactly a precise timeframe...

Hope this helps!
