Prizm Deep Water Polarized or Prizm Black Polarized?

[Cheesehead02]

Looking at a new polarized lens for my Radar EV. White frame.

Uses for me:
—driving
—running errands
—light hiking (I live in the Midwest)
—laying by the pool
—walking, running (for fitness, not looking at running 5ks or anything)

I don’t fish but if I did it wouldn’t be anything too crazy.

Hoping y’all can help me because the person at Sunglass Hut didn’t know a thing and I don’t have an Oakley store near me.

You really cannot go wrong with either one; I feel like DWP makes colors pop more than Prizm Black and of course, the outside light blue mirror looks gorgeous. But Prizm Black is nice too and works well in those bright conditions. Neither would be really good for hiking though; you would need a higher VLT, like a Prizm Trail lens. I took a comparison photo for you so you can see the difference when looking through each lens. The top is my Flak 2.0 with Prizm Black Polarized; the bottom is my Gascan with DWP. Hopefully this gives you a real world look into both.

DWP is a lot prettier to look through than Prizm Black, IMO. Wonderful rose tint.

DWP is my go-to.
