Love your guy's videos, always so helpful and informative and funny and charming! I did find myself wishing for an on-mountain clip of video showing one of yoy wearing the new rose gold iridium though. The colour of the mirror always comes thru truest on the snow IMO. If you'd be willing to tack it into a future video that would be so very appreciated! Nonetheless, love you guys and your work!

[@sportrxeyewear]

Wow, we're humbled. Thanks for the positive feedback Liz! We may squeeze in another trip up the mountain this season. If so, we'll make a note to showcase the Prizm Rose Gold Iridium in the elements! 🏂

[@tylerandersen9410]

Thank you so much; you are so kind! Unfortunately, last season, when we went to Mammoth's On-Snow Demo (where we get to sample the next season's new releases), Oakley wasn't able to provide a sample of the Rose Gold. They were still struggling with supply issues. You are absolutely right that on mountain examples gives the best representation of what you get. Yet more unfortunately, we have not had a chance to get on the mountain this season. I'm hoping to get up there soon, though, and we will definitely get some content on that lens!

[@russellgarnett6370]

Nice video boys! Just what I was looking for. Also liked the review of all your fav 2019 goggles. I got mine and a spare low light lens as a prezzie in 2020; haven’t been able to travel for snow since. Some virus or something 😅 About to change next week, come on Niseko!!! Thanks for the very niche videos, so great to find EXACTLY the information I was seeking

[@sportrxeyewear]

Love to hear that, Russel! Thanks so much for watching & happy shredding! 🏂

[@tylerandersen9410]

Thank you for watching! If you get to go on a Japan snow trip, I might faint from jealousy! I hope you get to go!

[@reddsmith6782]

With how much of a minefield it is to understand all the different brands tech/ size/ model and lenses this video is so awesome. Would be amazing if you did this with some of the other main brands like SMITH lenses etc. Thanks for the video!

[@sportrxeyewear]

Much appreciated Redd! Glad you liked it! 🙌

[@NPow94]

Oakley. The gold standard for optics

[@blainesnow1476]

Nice overview. I was hoping to see how you change from one lens to another but maybe that’s in a different video.

[@goravatreya]

It’s weird but the Flight Deck L doesn’t have as many choices when ordering a second lense

[@tylerandersen9410]

Replacement lenses only get tougher to secure as the season stretches on, unfortunately!

[@carterhudson2306]

Am I right in my assessment that the prizm torch, jade, and saphire all used to feature a rose base, and they now feature a garnet base? Just curious as I’m looking to replace an old airbrake with the prizm jade lens, and I’d like to replace it with a middle of the road everyday lens with a rose base.

[@david5630]

Can you discuss the new HiPink Iridium lens? That's what I came to this video to see, but I'm suprised you are showing the old version. They look different to the regular HiPink and I want to see a comparision!

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hi David! Oakley hasn't made any updates or changes to the Hi-Pink Iridium lens in recent years. However, there have been a few cases where it has been mistaken for the new Prizm Clear, which portrays a similar pinkish hue but is ultimately lighter in overall tone and tint intensity.

[@david5630]

@@sportrxeyewear Oh ok. Thanks alot for the reply. Then are all the HiPink lens iridium? Because there seems to look different in the pictures, like more reflective on the outside coating. It might just be the marketing pictures which confused me though.

[@sportrxeyewear]

No problem! And yes, they do appear more reflective depending on lighting conditions and camera angle. A fantastic option for low light and whiteout conditions. 🏂

[@patrickmcmanus2204]

I really like the torch lens and am thinking of buying it soon(with a strap), should I buy a replacement lens for white-out days? Thanks, learned a lot. 👍

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hey Patrick! Happy to help. If you're looking for a second lens for heavy whiteout conditions, check out the Prizm Persimmon, Hi-Pink, or Clear goggle lenses from Oakley!

[@BluedMarble]

The clear & rose gold. Like to see a 2024 review on them two.

[@jaimejimenez4715]

Hey Rob, great video! I’m considering the POC Clarity Comp Spektris Blue and Oakley Prizm Snow Torch prizm. Which would you choose? Be well!

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hey Jaime! It's hard to overstate the contrast and color boost you get with Oakley's Prizm line of lenses. I'd sway on the side of the Prizm Snow Torch, personally. Check out our review of the Torch Lens here 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZ-0faaCfbF_fNE & thanks for watching!

[@elgujakhintibidze3432]

Guys I just bought Oakley Line Miner L with Garnet Lens. But today I came across some discounts on Flight Deck M series. Could you clarify which one is better and why or for what? I am by no means professional, but a starter and an amateur skier with high enthusiasm. Thanks in advance.

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hi Elguja! Wouldn't say one is 'better' over the other. It really comes down to what features you prefer. The main being the lens. Flight Decks spherical shaped lens reduces optical distortion, though the peripheral range you get with the Line Miner is second to none. The LM might also fit slightly larger than the FD. You'll also want to consider the lens that comes with each model and which would fare better for the conditions in which you ride. Hope this helps! 🏂

[@elgujakhintibidze3432]

@@sportrxeyewear Yup helped a lot. Thank you.

[@tribalart88]

How do the compsre to Anon perceive?

[@Laban88]

Hello! I just ordered Oakley google jade iridium prizm lens without the "snow" name. What is the difference between jade iridium snow prizm and jade iridium prizm?

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hello! There's no difference as it relates to goggles. The 'snow' term simply refers to the Prizm Jade lens option for Oakley's snow goggle line, which uses a rose base tint to heighten contrast in snow conditions. Not to be confused with the Prizm Jade lens for their sunglass line, which uses a grey base tint. Hope this clears up any confusion!

[@Laban88]

@@sportrxeyewear Thank you so much for your response 😊

[@32srt32]

Night riding straight clear is the way to go! Would love to try the prizm clear.

I wish Oakley had RX inserts made by Oakley ( with transperent RX lenses) to put behind their sunlasses lenses . Like RudyProject has

[@Ninja-iu4gg]

I just hope I’m the goggles and sun glasses they. Will keep the mirror coating that’s the best part that’s what make Oakley different is that and now the prism like come on Oakley don’t forget about the mirror aspect plzz and thank u.

[@Ninjaturtle199]

I wish we could get more mirror affect with with out compromising the rest of of the goggles I’m not surprised y’all got called. people want the mirror affect and the prism with our losing the rest of the technology and we need more hot pink I love the lens I need em.

[@_AbUser]

Guyz, ist't better to make few photos through the lenses to show the difference?

[@sportrxeyewear]

HI! It has been a bit tough in practice because a camera lens still falls short of the human eye. It always comes out looking less impressive than when you're wearing them.

[@_AbUser]

@@sportrxeyewear Agree with You but actually only what i need to see is just few additional black lines showing what exactly under me feets and 10-15 yards before. Only contrast matters...And i think camera is able to perform this pretty suitable... Btw would You give me advice? I need to replace my dragon pxv coz i don't like that lenses. Are there any SMITH are large enought to give the same wide area view? Some kind of mag 4d or skyline xl... Whatever.. Some kind of lens is needed for twilight and i heard a lot about their "yellow storm" etc... Thanks!

[@sportrxeyewear]

Yes! Check out the IO Mag XL & The Squad XL! 👉 www.sportrx.com/smith-io-mag-xl-snow-goggle.html 👉 www.sportrx.com/smith-squad-xl-snow-goggle.html

[@s1k_azure]

Oakley flight deck M? Or Smith I/O mag??

[@sportrxeyewear]

Tough call! Both are great goggles. With Smith, you get 2 lenses, 1 for bright or medium light conditions and one for flat or low light. It's tough to overstate the contrast benefits of Oakley's Prizm lens tech, though. It really comes down to what you prioritize. I will say that our collaboration with Oakley for the Flight Deck M paired with a Prizm Sage lens, is a hard option to pass up. Check it out here!👇 www.sportrx.com/oakley-sportrx-exclusive-flight-deck-m-snow-goggle.html

[@devenwalsh]

what is the best lens for dusk, overcast and night if i had a irridium black for day time cause of sensitive eyes, hi pink ? something fitting with irridium ?

[@sportrxeyewear]

Good question! The Prizm Persimmon works great in dusk and heavy overcast conditions. But if you're specifically looking for something with an Iridium mirror, then you can't do much better than the Prizm Hi Pink for the low light. It performs well even at night if the runs are adequately lit.

[@tylerandersen9410]

For night, the only one I'd recommend is the PRIZM Clear!

[@drend85]

great job ty

[@tylerandersen9410]

Hey, only my mom calls me Ty

[@knosse]

Already posted this question on another one of your videos, you dont have to answer twice. For the Line Miner L,would you recommend getting another lense and switching them out regularly? Or would that wear out the mechanism?

[@tylerandersen9410]

Not sure if we answered it yet, but that's a tough question to answer! If it were me, I'd probably say go for it. I can also say that you will not wear out the mechanism. It's very simple and the material used in the goggle is plenty durable enough to stand up to regular interchange. It's not the most fun lens to interchange, but other than that - no worries!

[@knosse]

@@tylerandersen9410 Thanks! Was thinking about whether I should buy one goggle simply for bad weather and one for good weather or just go for one goggle with two lenses! Actually one of your colleagues already answered my other comment, but he pretty much told me the same! Thank you guys again for the help.

[@guillaumebednarz3748]

Hello! I'm wearing glasses slightly smaller than yours in the video, so would it be okay for me to wear my mask over my glasses without it bothering me? Thanks in advance.

[@sportrxeyewear]

HI there! It largely depends on the type and size of the goggle you're using. OTG (Over The Glasses) goggles are specifically designed to accommodate glasses worn beneath the goggle. However, the opticians at SportRx highly recommend prescription inserts over this option. Rx inserts provide a much broader range of view, increased comfort due to the lack of temples pressed to the side of your head or nosepads against your bridge, and convenience regarding taking them on and off or swapping out different goggle lenses. Check them out in the link below! 👉www.sportrx.com/custom-prescription-ski-goggle-insert.html

[@vladimirsh7240]

Good afternoon! Are the contrast in Prizm Clear and Prizm Hi Pink lenses the same? (and it turns out that the difference is only in light transmission).

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hi there! You get more color enhancement with the Hi Pink, but would not recommend for night skiiing/snowboarding. The Prizm clear, however, is definitely the way to go for any conditions where light is minimal or at night when riding under flourescent lighting.

[@ryancameron6306]

Hey guys, i have the sage gold iridium lenses in my line miners, wondering if i should buy another lens for overcast days, or if the sage gold will be fine? Thanks, for awesome video.

[@sportrxeyewear]

Thanks for watching, Ryan! You may benefit from a secondary lens for low-light and heavy overcast conditions if you find it difficult to map out the line in front of you. Check out the Prizm Snow Persimmon with a 39% VLT compared to the Sages 13%. I don't see the Hi-Pink as a replacement lens option on Oakley's site for now, but if it becomes available i'd recommend checking that out as well.

[@jakerjac]

Can you confirm that the Hi Pink has an Iridium coating? Almost every other source states that it does not.

[@jrweinfeld8271]

My question too!

[@gregsmith7821]

Good review, shame there was no footage of rose gold on the mountain.

[@J.E..]

I love riding in really bad weather, when its foggy and snowning. Do you see more with hi pink than Clear?

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hey there! The Hi Pink performs quite well in cloudy low-light & whiteout conditions, based on our experience. I guess it depends on what you consider 'really bad weather'. If it seems there's not enough available light (similar to night) then it's best to opt for Prizm clear.

[@ebscoHOSTpub]

Thank you so so SO much for this video. I am colorblind (color deficient if you wanna be fancy) and when I go to their site and check what each colored lens looks like with and without the lens color, it ALL looks the same to me lol

[@sportrxeyewear]

You're more than welcome! Glad we could help 🏂

[@bjrnareriksen8756]

What would you recomend if you ride in norway, where it is pitch black when i ride

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hello Bjornar! If you're riding in true pitch black conditions, then you'll want a lens with a high VLT percentage. The Prizm Snow Clear has a VLT of 65% and would likely serve as the best choice for what you're describing. If you're looking for something with a bit of tint with contrast enhancement, then check out the Prizm Snow Persimmon (39%) and Prizm Snow Hi Pink (46%)

[@GingerFellini]

Thanks! That was full overview with infos I've missed even on Oakley WWW.

[@dmitriykratos2522]

Tell us something about scratches on lenses and do they affect the way you see staff...

[@sportrxeyewear]

Hey Dmitriy. Scratches can be an irritating nuisance and have a negative effect on your vision especially when they occur on a part of the lens that falls within your line of sight. Some people are able to ignore or look past small abrasions, but for most it can create an uncomfortable viewing experience. There's unfortunately no way to buff out or remove scratches once they occur but more times than not additional replacement lenses can be purchased for most Oakley goggle models.

[@ЮрійВеремчук-ю7з]

Is there a purple iridium?

[@sportrxeyewear]

There is an Oakley Violet Iridium lens that is sometimes offered in Plano (non-Rx) for certain frames but is unfortunately not available in prescription.

[@tylerandersen9410]

There is the Violet Iridium in their snow goggle lens lineup, but it's not a Prizm lens. The only goggle you'll find it in is the Target Line family (well...also possibly the O-Frame 2.0), which is their budget-friendly goggle option.

Hey Jay! Every brand offers something different that sets them apart when it comes to their proprietary lens tech. However, Oakleys Prizm snow lens lineup is nothing short of remarkable when it comes to contrast enhancement and color boosting technology on the mountain. It ultimately comes down to personal preference, but you definitely should try them out!

[@ddupuis6238]

Hello! Oakley recently made adjustments to the foam design around the nose for most of their goggle models, which they now refer to as ‘Global Fit, effectively eliminating the need for a separate Asian-fit style. Check ‘em out! 👉www.sportrx.com/shopby/brand-oakley/product_type-goggles.html
