Oakley PRIZM Rose Gold Polarized Lens | Review

[ItnStln]

Oh man, that’s a tough decision! I use each for different conditions.

SWP is my absolute favorite go-to for rainy/overcast days and even partly sunny. I find that it just doesn’t quite hold up in bright sun. Almost, but not quite.

The Prizm Tungsten I use in similar conditions as the SWP. Again, I find it a bit lacking in bright sun. That’s probably due to the lighter coating of Iridium. It is amazing to use in whiteout conditions though. Overall, I’d probably pick SWP over Prizm Tungsten.

Among the choices you mentioned, I guess I’d pick the Prizm rose gold for an everyday lens only because it does better for me in bright sun. I don’t know the stats, but it seems to have a lower light transmission than the other two. It also seems like it would have enough contrast to perform decently well in lower light conditions.

All that said, I’m glad I don’t have to choose, because I couldn’t imagine life without SWP!

Thanks, I guess I'll have to pick up a pair of PRGs! It looks like they have 13% light transmission.

@ItnStln Ikon rose gold is a nice lens tint. I'm sure the Oakley prizm blows it out of the water optically, but at $36 it's a helluva bang for your buck!

Thanks! Do you have a link to their site? I Googled them and all I could find was Amazon and it's hard to filter out what I was looking for.

I'll look again when I have time. I've read good things about them here so I take it they're good.

Oakley will always be your best bet optically, but Ikon is a really good lens and like I said, at $36 its hard to beat the value per dollar
