What Oakleys Are You Wearing Today??

Bright sunny day and yet I subconsciously picked up the Prizm Trail pair while stepping out.

Fantastic lookin lens......it's a shame they aren't done in a Polarised version (or am I wrong?)

Repetitive I know.....but I'm really enjoying these at the moment.

Mean face: don’t waste my time.
Smiley: easy to talk to.
Frogskins handle both.

Aftermarket lenses have a polarized equivalent, called Cobalt Rose. Someone here reviewed it on the aftermarket lenses thread (Guess it was @Brad_W ? ) I didn't find the aftermarket lens particularly pleasing due to the weird red tint it applied to reflections - a wet spot on the road would end up looking like a pool of blood!

Yeah.... I bought a set of the MRY Cobalt/Rose
I like them.....but the Red polarisation is very, very weird.....the reflection of the black dash surface or any other surface in the car has a crazy red hue to it.

I do wear them in poor visibility conditions while driving.

Exactly. I just bought them for the doomsday situation when my OEM lenses bite the dust and Oakley stops making Prizm Trail lenses.

Someone should make an Orange base-tint Blue-Mirror lens to fit this requirement.
The Cobalt-Rose is sort of a Persimmon & the Cobalt-Blue is very faint.

The lack of anti-reflective coating on the cheapies does kind of ruin it.

The PapaViva lens I got was supposed to have anti-reflective coating & was almost too thick to fit into my Smith Parallel 2, but also came NOT Polarized.

Next week I will receive a pre-owned translucent Yellow Flak 2 set with the real Prizm Trail lens, so will be able to compare then.

In contrast, the mirror on the MRY Cobalt Rose is pretty strong and seems to have AR coating too - but they are thinner than OEM. If only I could swap with your Papaviva non-polarized lenses. Sadly, Papaviva dont ship here.
