Does anybody have any pictures/examples of what prizm shallow water polarized looks like to look through? How does it compare to say prizm tungsten or prizm road?
 
In this thread, I have some pics of the view through SWP and Prizm Tungsten along with some others. They aren’t side by side, but it might give you an idea. I use SWP and Prizm Tungsten polar in similar conditions (cloudy/overcast). Love both.

 
Thank you for the replies, I am thinking about putting a set of these lenses in an m2 for cycling. I personally really like copper based lenses which it looks like these are?
 
yes, that is very true, I guess it's because your eyes adjust. However, I've found that Prizm Snos Black, which has 6% transmission, you sort of keep seeing the dark amber/purple even after a long period
I just got those and haven’t put them on very long yet. Looking forward to testing them out:)

I agree with X Metal Beast. They are nice lenses but really dark, I tried a pair of these but didn’t keep them because my eyes just couldn’t adjust correctly.
 
Isn’t it amazing that when you first put on a pair of Oakley’s with crazy tints that your eyes adjust and it seem normal after a while?

When I wear Jade Iridium for a while, when I take them off I see green for a few seconds until my eyes adjust.

Freaked me out the first time.
