Prizm is polarized?

Prizm is polarized?

Not always. Prizm Ruby can be polar or non-polar. Prizm Field is only non-polar

Both look amazing! Is the Prizm Field a bit more translucent (as in it doesn’t hide the eyes as well)?

Yes. By just a bit.
At the right (or wrong) angle of light, the eyes can be seen behind Prizm Ruby P as well.
It may be tough to snag in a photo, but as I wear either of them, I'll see if I can't capture it in a photo.

So what exactly is a prizm lens.was it created for outdoor sports and a higher light transmission?

You haven't used any Prizms?

They're awesome! Especially Tungsten.

I have both Ruby Prizm and Prizm P. Chris cut the Ruby Prizm P. The Prizm P mutes glaire like iridium polarized does but adds much more contrast to the viewers perspective. I put a set of Black Prizm P in the XS I posted in what im wearing today. idk if its the Black Prizm P alone but the depth of color is hella greater than say a BIP. Brighter colors seem to pop much more over a traditional BIP ( greens yellows foliage type colors ) Ruby Prizm and Prizm P have a much different base color over Ruby Iridium. If id have to compare it to an iridium lens id put it close to fire iridium with more redish orange I’ll get you pictures when i get home . Now that I think about it Black Prizm has the same color contrast as Black Prizm P. I have a Black Prizm heater lens from the 2018 mumbo release I wear every now an then

The xs was the final x metal in production. You'd think there'd be more oem out there.

Ok so here’s some reference pictures. Only thing different is the prizm and prizm p lenses are not in a frame only one I have in a frame is ruby polar. First 4 are ruby iridium polar second set of 4 are ruby prizm p last set of 4 are ruby prizm lighting conditions are the same in every picture only variable is one set framed other two are not. As you can see the prizm p has a deeper orangeish amber base to it and the colors to me seem ( to me ) muted where as the ruby prizm the base colors more of a light orange to grey base and the colors are brighter ( why that is I’m not sure ) hopefully this helps.
