I should Work at Oakley
I have the following
Holbrook XL Woodgrain
I understand that nothing on the market comes close to the Prizm effect, just maybe in base tint and appearance.
I've been a fan of the rose tint on the prizms, namely the Trail and SWP, but found Road to be a bit bland (and somehow purple leaning in the environment I was looking at). Prizm Daily wasn't bad, felt pretty neutral with a tiny bit of warmth, Deep Water felt like Prizm Daily with a kick of warmth added but pale in comparison to the Shallow Water.
Sapphire looked cool on the front, but just seemed meh and flat thru the lens (too neutral I guess?)
On the bronze tint ones, I like the Tungsten but can't seem to wear them continuously like I can with Trail and SWP (noticing a bit of a headache after the second day using them, then relaxed when switching to say DWP). The Tungsten is nice in the late afternoon when everything gets even warmer an almost actual 'golden' look. Really did not care for the Rose Gold at all though, it's a subtler effect of Tungsten, but for some reason has a green cast that stands out over everything (perhaps from all the yellow reflected off the front).
I'm most likely going to seek getting something for the Flak primarily, but for either I would like least one lens to have a higher light transmission when the day is heavily overcast (especially if I'm going into thicker woods for hiking as the summer approaches). Not sure about something like the tracer yellow, but seems to be the only thing above a 25% they have. But the second pair since they have a 40% off offering if you get one would be something for later this year when things start to get snowy and bright everywhere.
At least one of the lens I get from them I'd like to try their standard non-polarized, non-mirrorsheild as I understand the standard is a similar polycarbonate material that is less likely to just pop out of the frame, and the mirror shield ones have reports of being thinner and popping out, but not sure I want to spend to the level of their Elite if I'm already spoiled by the Prizm lens I have.
Holbrook XL Woodgrain
- Prizm Tungsten Polarized currently installed
- Prizm Trail (probably my favorite, got it for hiking and overcast days)
- Prizm Shallow Water Polarized that came with the frames (second favorite, gives everything a nice golden hour look, pops but not as insane as tungsten)
- Prizm Deep Water Polarized
- Prizm Trail Torch (arriving in a few days)
