Shallow-water blue lens

[Oakleywiia]

I'm considering ordering a shallow-water blue lens for my Radar EV. When I think of high-end, water-related sunglasses the two companies that come to mind are Maui Jim and Costa.

For use in fishing in ponds and small lakes, how would Oakley's shallow-water blue lens compare to either MJ or Costa in terms of clarity and ability to see what's beneath the water's surface?

Oakley makes a Shallow Water Prizm (SWP) lens in greenish with purple hues. Any blue lens is just polarized. Deep Water Prizm (DWP) is a sky blue. I've worn both while fishing and the lenses do best for what they are labelled as. You can look at Sapphire Prizm pol, but I have no experience with.

Yes, and thank you for correcting me. The shallow water is a green tint. Any idea how it compares to MJ or Costa?

It's (shallow water) similar to Maui Jim's HCL bronze Polarized plus2 lenses... But has a cool green mirror instead of gold. I prefer the Maui Jim's anti-glare coating... But to be honest the bi-gradient mirrors peel too easily on my maui Jim's. Oakley is a bit more scratch resistant in my experience.
