   Hello,
   Thank you for your helpful review. I have a question if you don’t mind me asking - which lens would you recommend for a skier with astigmatism in low light flat white out conditions? Prizm Hi Pink vs Prizm Rose?
   
   I have a feeling that Hi Pink would be better because it lets more light in - and that helps with definition in someone with astigmatism (me)... is my thinking correct or is it flawed?
   
   Thanks very much and I’m looking forward to your reply...

      Hi Eve! Thank you for your question. If you are typically only in white out conditions, then yes, the Hi Pink will be the best option for you. With that said, PRIZM Hi Pink is not a good option if you are ever in other lighting conditions. PRIZM Rose will be a little more universal if the lighting conditions change. Let us know if you have any other questions(:

   Great review. If I have already have googles with Prizm Torch Iridium would I be right in thinking the Hi Pink would be the best choice, because as soon as it light enough I'd swap to the Torch iridium? Or is there a gap between Hi Pink and Torch that Snow Rose fits in?

      Hi Richard,
      
      There's definitely a significant VLT gap between your Prizm Torch and Prizm HI Pink (10 - 20% VLT difference). Personally though, I'd do the same as you and swap from a HI Pink to Torch when it got bright enough if I knew I was going to be in whiteout weather constantly.
      
      Have you seen our Oakley Prizm HI Pink vs Prizm Rose Update? Rob and Tyler reviewed the lenses up in Mammoth this year when it was dumping snow. The footage helps put their feedback into context. The TL;DR is Prizm Rose is a great lens especially as a one lens for winter solution, but HI Pink is the best lens for whiteout conditions and isn't suitable for any other lighting conditions. Have a look!

   Thanks for the helpful review.
   
   Would Prizm Hi Pink be suitable for night skiing under those bright lights? Or is a clear lens the way to go?
   
   Thanks.

      Hi Mike,
      
      The snowboarders in the office use a clear lens. We're going to test out the Prizm HI Pink at night, hopefully next season, and share the results.
      
      If you haven't grabbed HI Pink yet, I'd hold off until later. But if you've got an explorer's streak in you, test it out yourself and share your results with us. We'd love to hear your thoughts on it!

   Thank you.
   
   I haven't bought a Hi Pink yet as I'm tossing up between it and an all clear lens for my recently received Fall Line. Sadly, in Australia, availability and prices make it a choice of one rather than just snapping up both.
   
   Anyhoo, I'm heading off to the snow in a couple of weeks here in the Southern hemisphere and will just take along my trusty old clear goggles.
   
   And I may look at what's available in Japan when I'm there in December.

      High Kevin! I would personally refrain from a clear goggle lens for night riding as they usually lack contrast and can exacerbate unwanted glare. The Persimmon is the best way to go in my opinion. I love the Hi Pink lens but because it has a subtle mirror on the front, i believe the Persimmon would suit you better for night riding. For more information give us a call to speak to one of our licensed opticians who can help get you into the right pair for your individual needs! (877) 289-2999
