Oakley PRIZM Snow

 

PRIZM Black

PRIZM Black Iridium is constructed for the bright, blue bird days. These goggles have a light transmission of 5.5%, making them the darkest tint in the PRIZM Snow collection. PRIZM lens technology guarantees the best possible contrast so you can find your lines with ease.

PRIZM  Torch, PRIZM Jade, and PRIZM Sapphire

PRIZM Torch,  PRIZM Jade, and PRIZM Sapphire are all similar functionally, but feature different aesthetics. When deciding which lens tint is right for you, it ultimately comes down to which color you like best. The light transmission ranges from 13-20% on all three lenses, making them perfect for a variety of conditions.

PRIZM Rose

PRIZM Rose is very similar to HI-Pink, with a few key differences. PRIZM rose is also ideal for low light or overcast conditions but features a lower visible light transmission of 25-28%. This means that PRIZM Rose is a slightly darker lens than PRIZM HI-Pink. We also have a separate blog explaining the differences between PRIZM Rose and PRIZM HI-Pink.

  • VLT: 26%
  • Base color: rose

PRIZM Persimmon

PRIZM Persimmon, the newest addition to the PRIZM lineup, brings back the beloved tint that we have seen in the past. The difference here is the addition of PRIZM contrast. The original Oakley persimmon lens has now taken a back seat due to the popularity an superb performance only this new type of lens can provide. This lens functions very similarly to HI Pink and the main difference between PRIZM Persimmon and PRIZM HI Pink is aesthetics.

  • Conditions: low light, overcast, whiteout
  • VLT: 38%
  • Base color: orange

 

PRIZM HI Pink

PRIZM HI-Pink is Oakley’s answer for the ultimate low-light lens. It will bring you unbelievable contrast on white out or overcast days, allowing you to see every little detail. HI-Pink has a visible light transmission of 35-40% with boosted contrast. A higher VLT will allow more light through the lens than a darker tint so you can see more clearly. The increase in contrast from PRIZM lens technology makes picking up on details in the snow easier, giving you a safer riding experience.
