Deep and Shallow Water Prizm - May 1st Release

I'm screwed then, if there polarized retail is 150 dollars most likely, guess I'm have new beach, jet ski, fishing lens I have to buy.

Ditto - I wish these had come out six months ago; I would have bought them instead of some other stuff...

But good question, what will be the price point on replacement lenses?

I just did a quick comparison of the MSRPs of existing polar colorways (complete frame+lens) vs. the MSRPs listed for the May 1st release on the first page of this thread.

It looks like a $30 markup over regular polar (the exception was radar path, only a $20 markup). If that remains true for replacement lenses, you're looking at maybe $160 for radarlock path? $10 more than Daily?

Here's the details:
Polar radar pitch $270, Radar Pitch Pol Blk w/ Prizm Deep H20 Pol $290, $20 markup
FlakJacket XLJ polar $210, FlakJacket XLJ Pol Black w/ Prizm Deep H20 Pol $240, $30 markup
Valve polar $200, Valve Pol Blk w/Prizm Deep H20 Pol $230, $30 markup
Turbine polar $200,Turbine Pol Blk w/Prizm Shallow H20 Pol $230 /Turbine Pol Blck w/Prizm Deep H20 Pol $230, $30 markup

Radarlock path replacement lenses:
Non-polar, no iridium $60
Non-polar, iridium $80
Polar iridium $130
non-polar Prizm iridium $100
Daily prizm (polar, questionable non-iridium) $150
Prizm water $160? Because of better iridium? or $150 like Daily?
 
I have been waiting with anticipation for the release of the Prizm Deep Blue lenses. I already have a pair of Polarized Deep Blue Straight Jackets which I love but I had to get my hands on a pair with the Prizm technology added to the mix. I love the beach so these lenses are perfect for me. So last night I went ahead and ordered the Prizm Deep Polarized Flak Jacket. I am very excited because the Flak Jackets are one my favorite frames and now I will have a pair with Deep Blue lenses and Prizm technology. The best of both worlds. For me it does not get any better than that. Now I will be waiting with excitement for that package to arrive in the mail. I am sure I am not the only one here who feels like a kid on Christmas day when that package with new Oakleys arrives in the mail. :)
 
I saw them already available at my local Vault on Friday. I didn't look at them but will next time.
