Oakley PRIZM Ruby Lens Review

[OakleyBoss]

We review the Oakley Prizm Ruby Lens including why you need it in your sunglasses and one reason you might not!
Oakley’s Prizm Ruby Lens is one of our favorite lenses currently offered. Over the last few years we’ve seen Oakley take the technology from Sports to just about every pair they offer. We’re even seeing Oakley launching Prizm lenses in wire frames like the Whisker and all new Savitar.

Do prizm ruby and prizm tungsten look identical when looking through the lens?

I'd also be curious about that. I have 6 Oakley's with several different lenses. Different lenses accentuate different colors that you see when looking through them. I'd be curious what color you see mainly when looking through these. Is it a rose colored world through them ??

Not sure about Prizm Tungsten, but I've got Prizm Ruby Polarised and it's a brownish tint, with yellowish colours accentuated (and they really 'pop').

I'll take some 'looking through the lense' pics later for you if you'd like.

I have the Prizm Ruby Ejectors and the Prizm Ruby Polarized Holbrook Metal (Ember).

They have an orange base color, once my eyes adjust to the lenses the colors still pop all around me. But it accentuates the oranges, reds, more so than others for sure. Where my Prizm Sapphire, Prizm Black, and Prizm Jade accent the blues, greens of the nature around me.

I also have the Ruby Polarized lenses in my Sliver, and they have the original blue tint. Which is a favorite, sad to see that go.

It's not Ruby if its not blue when you look through.

I'm glad I have one Mars with Ruby lenses. I need more.

Thank you !

Sorry it's taken a while, but this is a comparison of natural vs Prism Ruby Polar

It's not super apparent in the photos but the
yellows and light greens really 'pop' …

Hope it helps, buddy!

Tricky thing with these kinds of lenses in photos is depending on wearer, there's some acclimation that makes them feel closer to neutral, but essentially yes, the Prizm version is "warmer" than the original.
