Is maritime polarized?

I have no first hand experience to say one way or the other, but I did a simple Google search for "Oakley Prizm maritime" and every single result mentions polarized.

Yes it is polarized.

I posted some comparison shots here:

Prizm Maritime!

So are these for sure different than the Shallow Water Prizm?

**Nevermind... Just re-read this thread. Jury hasn't technically rules though.... I never saw definitive evidence.

I just got my first pair of Prizm Maritime. I got a prototype Flak 1.0 XLJ set on Ebay. As for the lens itself, it seems alot like the Prizm Daily base (light rose/violet), with a heavy emerald/jade iridium coating. I haven't used them at the beach yet, but I'll try to post pictures when I do. I think these could be a great every day wear and the answer to people like myself who wished that Prizm Daily had a darker tint or heavy iridium coating for bright sun. The iridium coating is that heavily mirrored coating similar to the Prizm Deep I have. Too bad Oakley doesn't offer more Prizm Maritime options.

Been trying to find the Maritime Lens as a replacement lens for my flak 2.0. I found a new pair on the forces site, but they dont seem to sell the lens separately from what I can tell. Anyone here manage to track down if the lenses can be bought separately?

I always liked the Jade iridium look but hated the tint looking through them....these seem to solve the issue and even look better than the Jade I think!

I've seen the Flak 2.0 Maririme lenses being sold separately on the bay a few times. I don't see any right now, but I'll keep you in mind if I see them again.

I also prefer looking through the Maritime instead of Jade, it's a great lens.

just got the glasses today. Initial impressions are pretty much what DKO said. Daily Polarized filter, with a nicer looking Jade idirium/shallow water prizm look to the outside. I really think the maritime lens looks way better than both the Jade iridium and the shallow water prizm coating. but that is just personal taste I guess. I certainly think these are going to be my new everyday sport pair. If for whatever reason in a few weeks/months I find something note wortyh Ill try to repost.
