If someone there is considering buying a Prizm Ruby polarized, just do it. These lenses are awesome. Green colors are punching and beautiful, especially in the spring. I've been visiting some beaches during summer, look at the water and you'll see literally hundreds shades of blue. There's even benefit of wearing these during cloudy and rainy days, as they will bring some colors to pop a little bit more, they will help you if you're driving in such conditions. And let me tell you something, world looks kind of 'meh' when I'm not wearing ruby's.
The Prizm lenses were absolutely a HUGE upgrade for Oakley. The contrast and detail is amazing. People ask why would you pay so much for sunglasses. Because Oakley has something like 200 patents involving sunglasses lenses, and it shows. The old iridium lenses were aesthetically beautiful, but suffered from some base lens colors that tinted everything in an odd way. If you haven't upgraded to Prizm lenses yet, you're missing out!
These are great lenses in prizm polarized. Comfortable, grippy, colors pop out, can see through water, dashboard reflection is minimal to non-existent. Only complaint is the color red gets filtered out (looks like a dull red) and the color green gets enhanced (grass fields and trees look amazing). This is NOT IDEAL FOR DRIVING! I ran a red light two times when I first started using it. Of course, after a month I got used to it, but man it was scary. The traffic light changed from green to red in front of me and I didn't notice it.
I have the exact same ones and there is no confusing. Traffic lights everything as normal as if I was wearing my normal glasses no confusion like that lol
Im looking for something I could use as an everyday lense but also on the trails. How are these compared to the Prizm Grey? How will the grey base be compared to the bronze base?
I keep watching these reviews and every single time I am left disappointed that there's no presentation of how the lens actually looks like for the wearer. I can see how "cool" it looks like on someone's face, that's apparent from just looking at the glasses. What I want, as someone seeking out information and a review on the lens is "how does this lens make the world look like while wearing them" and there's nothing in these reviews that helps me. :( Have a standard place you can walk outside of your studio, so that its the same setting for a baseline, then put the lens over the camera. Do this for EVERY lens you review, have a comparison available for all the gray/bronze/tungsten/prism/polarize/etc so that people can see what it actually means when you say 'it creates contrast' or 'separation of colors' and 'lets in 17% light'. Please, please, please. I don't have the ability to go to a store and try on each pair of lenses because the 3 Oakley resellers around here carry the same limited amount of lenses. I don't want to order pairs online, have them shipped, try them on for 5 minutes only to find 'wow...this isn't what I was looking for at all'. I'm looking for some sort of comparison of all the lenses available in the Holbrook line up, but at least seeing the lenses on any frame would help me narrow things down. I've been wearing some Flack 2.0 with Prizm Golf for about 2 years now, love them, but was wanting to see how other similar lenses compare in color saturation (love it), contrast (love it), and just making things brighter while limiting the glare (need it, but can't have it Polarized since I'm one of those lucky few who get an INSTANT sensation of vertigo. laaaaaaaame) I love that you feature all these frames and lenses, but it's sort of like reviewing clothes by just showing the viewer what they look like on the rack.
Hi there! Thanks so much for your valuable feedback. In the past we had tried putting PRIZM lens pucks over the camera filter but the result was not as true to actually wearing the lens yourself. With that being said we will try to figure out a way we can produce lens videos that will give you a truer idea of how the lens will work for you. In the meantime you can always call or live chat with our certified opticians to determine which lens is best for your needs: www.sportrx.com/contact
Trail Torch all the way! Nothing wrong with Ruby, but the rose-base tint of the Trail Torch enhances the natural colors of the trail and surrounding environment. 🚵
I am looking for a new lens for my Turbine Rotor frame, to be used in low light environment like a overcast day. Should i look for one that allows a lot of light thru (12% for example), or a lens that allows less light thru (17% for example)? I am confused. Thanks, Phil
Prizm ruby is definitely my favorite right now. Have them polarized in my split shots and non polar in my flak 2.0 xls. I was always a fan of the old fire iridium lenses and this is as close as it gets. But definitely superior to the fire iridium the way certain colors pop. Wanting to try prizm sapphire next.
@@sportrxeyewear I'm trying to pick the best prizm for pickleball and I am stuck between the ruby and the sapphire. I like the look of the sapphire better. But improvement on my visual enhancement is most important to me. Please share you knowledge on the two, thank you.
I have some old polarised iridium ruby lenses in my Radarlock. Are the new prizm polarised ruby lenses the same? Do they have the same shiny reflective mirror finish?
I have just ordered thus lenses in prescription from Oakley with my Optometrist in the new Redux eye jackets; so appreciate a technical nice break - down of all the main key pros and perhaps the hidden cons of the lense from these guys ....will post further findings when tried the glasses ....will compare to Maui Jim and Bolle Px .......see they fare overall ....... 😎😎😎😎😎
Just got these lenses in the Holbrook XL, and they’re bloody good, water and the sky pops like a tube of Pringles, just get these lenses guys, you’ll be in awe wearing them, you will see more clouds, 😂.
I love the color, but plan on using these lenses in a Split Shot for shallow water fishing. Would the Prizm Polarized Ruby work well for that? I just can't stand the thought of having to buy lenses of other colors. Thanks!
Hi guys!! Great vid!! Just one thing that i'm not getting, the color (ruby, tungsten, 24k, etc) is just the color of the mirror or afects the dynamic range of the lens? I mean there's two types in the everyday line up grey and bronze? And the rest is more like a esthethics thing or every color gives you a complete different visual other than darkness (light that let it through)?
Hi Nicolas! Great question! It is bit of a combination of the two but mainly aesthetics. The grey base will let less light through and the bronze will give slightly better contrast. You can see a full PRIZM Everyday chart breakdown here: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-everyday-lens-technology/ Hope this helps!
Hi, I am puzzled between Prizm 24k and Prizm Ruby. I need them for mountain biking in high mountain areas with lots of bright light, however when entering the trails there would also be some shade so I am a bit unsure whether Prizm 24k would maybe be too dark for that? I do have lenses for trail conditions but they are too bright for when in high mountain environment. Please can you give me some suggestions? Thank you!
Hi Nikki! I think a non-polarized Prizm Ruby lens would be a suitable option, especially in very bright conditions, but i'd also recommend the Prizm Field lens for it's lower VLT percentage without sacrificing contrast specifically for your described environment. It should provide enough relief for brighter conditions without impeding on one's ability to identify changes in terrain when moving in and out of tree lines with sparse canopy sections. Hope this helps!
Would prizm rubys be good for golf? If not what would you recommend? I know there's a golf line but they aren't dark enough for me, I live in michigan so our summers are usually pretty sunny but we definitely get some overcast days as well.
PRIZM Ruby has a visible light transmission of around 17% which is darker than PRIZM Dark Golf. at 22 ish%. It also features a bronze base tint for added contrast. I think it could work very well for gold but you can always get a second opinion from one of our certified opticians via phone ore live chat here: www.sportrx.com/contact
Hey Domenico, yes the Prizm Ruby Polarized is a great option for daily use and driving. I'll think you'll appreciate the polarization as well for glare reduction and reduced eye strain especially on the open road. Try em out!
I’m sure you know this, but the Matte Black Mercenary with the PRIZM Ruby lenses are incredible. Love the look and because my big noggin can’t rock the Flak’s, I’m glad the Mercenary’s are a viable option
Great info, thank you! If you had to recommend a prizm everyday lens for golf (perhaps because you can't get a prizm golf lens in the frame you want) which one would you pick?
Hi Michael! Thanks for checking out our video! That is a great question! You are totally on the right track with PRIZM Ruby since it has a bronze base for more contrast.

Hi. My Prizm Ruby lenses recently peeled off big-time and since my order of Oakley replacement lenses for my Crossrange R is still in transit (im overseas), living in a sunny tropical country I thought of just using my old lens wothOUT the gold-reddish tint which I completely peeled off. My questions: Will it still be good enough to give me 100% UVA and UVB protection? What are the other implications on my eyes and vision of such. Thank you..
Hmmm...well that film that peeled off is probably the iridium coating that acts as a mirror so if anything they won't be as dark but the lenses should still offer 100% UV protection because they are made of Plutonite.
@@sportrxeyewear Now the prizm lens is blackish in color because the outside film/tint is gone. I Am using it now and i can say it's better than not using anything at all.
Live in Colorado and do alot of sking. I have goggles but would rather where sunglasses when i can (non blizard conditions) What do you thing would be the best lens color choice?
I'm looking for everyday lenses. I have Prizm Road for running and love them. I find my husband's Prizm Trails bright, although I do like the contrast. I've had a bronze lens (VR28) in the past and found it felt like I wasn't really wearing any eye protection -- it still felt "bright". I'm torn between Prizm Ruby, Sapphire, and Road. I'm afraid the Ruby will still feel "bright". Do you have any insight for me? :D (I need prescription lenses!)
Hi Jen! Thanks for reaching out. PRIZM Ruby is on the lighter end of the PRIZM Everyday lens selection. It has a bronze base so you will get great contrast but if you want a darker option we would recommend PRIZM Sapphire which has a grey base. You will still get a contrast boost but your eyes wont be exposed to as much light coming through the lenses. If you want to weigh your options more you can always contact one of our certified opticians on the phones or via live chat here: www.sportrx.com/contact
@@ebx2323 Yes, bought both the deep water polarized and the ruby, been using them for 4 monts now and they are wery diffrerent. I find the deep water polarized less disturbing to the eye, and better for big bodyies of water (pikefishing) (seatroutfishing). The ruby polarized I use for troutfishing in the forest in smal lakes and rivers, i must say it takes some time getting used to the lens, its almost to much contrast!. Gretings from Norway.
Hello! The Prizm Jades base tint is grey paired with a green mirror. By comparison, the Rubys base tint is brown coupled with a red mirror. Both deliver very different contrast perspectives. It's worth noting that the Jades VLT is 13% compared to 17% with the Ruby. Jade will deliver more neutral color tones while the Ruby will boost and enhance color and contrast. Hope this helps!
I have the prizm ruby polarized lenses for my flak 2.0 and for some reason certain lights show up twice. Such as car brake lights and even some windows when the light hits them. Anyone know what's going on??
Love these videos and that's my fav opening yet! I'm still looking for one on Prizm violet... these videos really help me make informed choices. I'm looking for the best Prizm lens for gloomy days, walking/driving maybe cycling, now that I have to wear sunglasses regardless of the weather... sounds like ruby would be good, but violet looks very cool it seems it has a lower VLT? A grey base instead of bronze?
HI! For gloomy overcast days, opt for a rose or amber base tint over grey. This will help with contrast and highlight muted colors more than the grey. You want more light to pass through the lens material since there's less light available with cloud cover. Look for a higher VLT in the 20-35% range. Check out the Prizm Golf, Dark Golf, and Trail Torch for viable options. Hope this helps!
@@sportrxeyewear Thanks! I have various prizm gray base from last year,.. and I currently have tungsten, ruby and golf on the way... (also violet and deep water; I want to experiment with driving glasses). But I'll look into trail torch. Thank god for sales 😃
Hi there! The Prizm Ruby would be darker. They both can be used for sunny days and driving, it would just come down to personal preference in lens color. The Prizm Tungsten would provide more contrast compared to the Prizm Ruby so it would be a lighter lens.
Hey Simon. Are your Radarlock frames XL or Standard. I ordered Prizm Road for my XL frame and it fits but too small for the nose piece. Oakley said they only make Prizm for the Standard frames.
Hi Jose! The Prizm Ruby lens is a great choice for hunting especially in brighter environments with a lot of sun exposure. I'd also recommend the Prizm Tungsten. If you're building a lens for a frame on the SportRx site and select our sport optimized lenses, i'd also suggest the 'Hunter' lens which Transitions from an Amber to Dark Brown tint for all day use. For more information go to our site to chat online with an optician OR give us a call! 888.831.5817
@@sportrxeyewear awesome thanks for the reply! I know Oakley has the shallow and deep water( watched your video on those). But I was assuming if it had the copper/bronze base and polarized it would get the job done no matter the color of the iridium or outside of the lenses found a few pair that were half the price or sale/clearance in different colors. Cheers
I've bought the sapphire prizm polarized and it is a dream :) However i am looking for a lens that is a lil brighter for the grey days, so i ordered this lens yesterday for these days :)
Hey Luciano! For the best contrast enhancement on clay courts, choose a lens with a rose copper or amber base tint. This will help distinguish and separate colors making it easier to track the ball in flight. The Prizm Ruby's bronze base should perform decently well, especially in a well-lit environment, but stay away from the polarized option for this lens as it can affect depth perception. Also check out the Prizm Field OR SportRx's Sunset Lens that Transitions from Light to Dark Rose Copper with a Subtle Red Mirror.

Hi there! PRIZM 24K is the darkest followed by Rose Gold and then Ruby. See how they all compare to one another here: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-everyday-lens-technology/
The Prizm Ruby has a bronze base tint that when combined with the red mirror delivers amazing contrast enhancement with color bursts and stronger depth perception cues. Great for very bright conditions! www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-ruby/
@@sportrxeyewear I have PRIZM Field lenses and can vouch for this. For 30 some odd years I have been wearing cheap grey tinted sunglasses. I will never look back. PRIZM technology has far exceeded my expectations. The contrast is incredible! When I take my Oakleys off, the world looks grey. It's pretty wild...and very impressive!
Generally speaking a polarized lens is ideal for driving but some people prefer a non-polarized lens option. I'd say these would function well as a driving lens if you don't go with the polarization.
Hi Jeff! If you are using them for cycling, we recommend PRIZM Road because it is specifically designed for cyclists and will bring out the most contrast in that road environment. You can check them out here: www.sportrx.com/oakley-sutro.html
Hey Luke! Prizm Ruby will certainly help with relief from eye strain as well as improving contrast on the course, but if you're wanting the best golf lens available, definitely try out the Prizm Golf or Dark Golf.
After much research I decided to get a pair of FLAK® 2.0 XL BLACK CAMO with these PRIZM RUBY lens. I wanted something to use everyday and also Paragliding in different light conditions so the 17% light transmission was a good compromise. Did not want Polarized as it makes digital instruments hard to read. Also I am hoping the Bronze base will be good for flying. Sort of hard to find much information on flying sports as it's not as big as all the other sports you cover.
Hi Trevor! PRIZM Ruby can be used for lake fishing. We would recommend going with PRIZM Ruby Polarized because it will greatly reduce glare. If you find yourself in super bright and sunny conditions we would recommend PRIZM Jade or Sapphire since those lenses are a bit darker than Ruby. You can contact one of our certified opticians if you need more guidance on which lens to choose: www.sportrx.com/contact
@@sportrxeyewear awesome thanks. I've ordered the Prizm Ruby Polarized and they are coming tomorrow. Watching some videos, I felt like maybe I picked the wrong lens.
Seems you guys are still don't know what you're talkin about I bought about $650 worth of Oakleys glasses just to get the right lens and there's a difference between wearing them inside and live and when I mean live is the actual color to it Ruby is not orange and it's pink outside with a slight purple to it and other colors you guys need to know how to explain the color Ruby
Although it CAN be used for baseball, PRIZM Field is a much more optimal option. You can learn more about it here: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-field-lens-technology/ Thanks for watching!
My prizm ruby don’t look remotely close to that video overlay. Just boosts greens/blues for me. I love the lens look but hate actually wearing it. Sold my jawbreaker lens and got a pair of frogskins gathering dust.

@@sportrxeyewear Now the prizm lens is blackish in color because the outside film/tint is gone. I Am using it now and i can say it's better than not using anything at all.
Live in Colorado and do alot of sking. I have goggles but would rather where sunglasses when i can (non blizard conditions) What do you thing would be the best lens color choice?
Great question! Something like PRIZM Sapphire, Jade, or Ruby would work very well!
I'm looking for everyday lenses. I have Prizm Road for running and love them. I find my husband's Prizm Trails bright, although I do like the contrast. I've had a bronze lens (VR28) in the past and found it felt like I wasn't really wearing any eye protection -- it still felt "bright". I'm torn between Prizm Ruby, Sapphire, and Road. I'm afraid the Ruby will still feel "bright". Do you have any insight for me? :D (I need prescription lenses!)
Hi Jen! Thanks for reaching out. PRIZM Ruby is on the lighter end of the PRIZM Everyday lens selection. It has a bronze base so you will get great contrast but if you want a darker option we would recommend PRIZM Sapphire which has a grey base. You will still get a contrast boost but your eyes wont be exposed to as much light coming through the lenses. If you want to weigh your options more you can always contact one of our certified opticians on the phones or via live chat here: www.sportrx.com/contact
Can you use this lens for fishing ? How is it compered to the shallow and deep water polarized ?
Thanks.
I just bought a pair of Oakley's with the ruby polarized lenses hoping it would be good for fishing. Did you end up buying them for fishing yourself?
@@ebx2323 Yes, bought both the deep water polarized and the ruby, been using them for 4 monts now and they are wery diffrerent. I find the deep water polarized less disturbing to the eye, and better for big bodyies of water (pikefishing) (seatroutfishing). The ruby polarized I use for troutfishing in the forest in smal lakes and rivers, i must say it takes some time getting used to the lens, its almost to much contrast!. Gretings from Norway.
Thanks for the reply! I hope you catch a ton of fish! Greetings from Arizona!
@@Hb-trout would you say that the ruby are not good for everyday use because of the high contrast it provides
What is the main difference between the prizm ruby and prizm jade? I can’t decide between the two.
Hello! The Prizm Jades base tint is grey paired with a green mirror. By comparison, the Rubys base tint is brown coupled with a red mirror. Both deliver very different contrast perspectives. It's worth noting that the Jades VLT is 13% compared to 17% with the Ruby. Jade will deliver more neutral color tones while the Ruby will boost and enhance color and contrast. Hope this helps!
I have the prizm ruby polarized lenses for my flak 2.0 and for some reason certain lights show up twice. Such as car brake lights and even some windows when the light hits them. Anyone know what's going on??
Are they prescription?
@@Thak00l1 no sir.
Is it safe to use while driving car n all ?!
Love my Ruby!!!
Fredrik! Thanks for watching!
Hi is the PRIZM Ruby good for pilots? Looking to buy one of these for daily commercial flights. Any recommendations?
PRIZM Ruby can work! We advise against a polarized lens though because the filter on the lens will make the instrument panel difficult to read.
Love these videos and that's my fav opening yet! I'm still looking for one on Prizm violet... these videos really help me make informed choices. I'm looking for the best Prizm lens for gloomy days, walking/driving maybe cycling, now that I have to wear sunglasses regardless of the weather... sounds like ruby would be good, but violet looks very cool it seems it has a lower VLT? A grey base instead of bronze?
HI! For gloomy overcast days, opt for a rose or amber base tint over grey. This will help with contrast and highlight muted colors more than the grey. You want more light to pass through the lens material since there's less light available with cloud cover. Look for a higher VLT in the 20-35% range. Check out the Prizm Golf, Dark Golf, and Trail Torch for viable options. Hope this helps!
@@sportrxeyewear Thanks! I have various prizm gray base from last year,.. and I currently have tungsten, ruby and golf on the way... (also violet and deep water; I want to experiment with driving glasses). But I'll look into trail torch. Thank god for sales 😃
Stuck between the prizm ruby polarised and the prizm tungsten polarised. Which is darker/browner? Which will be better for a mild sunny day & driving?
Hi there! The Prizm Ruby would be darker. They both can be used for sunny days and driving, it would just come down to personal preference in lens color. The Prizm Tungsten would provide more contrast compared to the Prizm Ruby so it would be a lighter lens.
SportRx thanks!!!
Thanks. Good vid. Liked your song! I picked up the lense in the Radarlock. It’s. Fricking sick!!
Awesome, Simon! Thanks for watching!
Hey Simon. Are your Radarlock frames XL or Standard. I ordered Prizm Road for my XL frame and it fits but too small for the nose piece. Oakley said they only make Prizm for the Standard frames.
Are this good for hunting or y’all have some to recommend
Hi Jose! The Prizm Ruby lens is a great choice for hunting especially in brighter environments with a lot of sun exposure. I'd also recommend the Prizm Tungsten. If you're building a lens for a frame on the SportRx site and select our sport optimized lenses, i'd also suggest the 'Hunter' lens which Transitions from an Amber to Dark Brown tint for all day use. For more information go to our site to chat online with an optician OR give us a call! 888.831.5817
I was looking for fishing glasses I found a prizm p ruby on clearance think they would work for looking through water/ cutting glare from water ?
Hi Craig-yes, a main benefit of a polarized lens is that it will cut glare, especially on water.
@@sportrxeyewear awesome thanks for the reply! I know Oakley has the shallow and deep water( watched your video on those). But I was assuming if it had the copper/bronze base and polarized it would get the job done no matter the color of the iridium or outside of the lenses found a few pair that were half the price or sale/clearance in different colors. Cheers
True-Although Deep Water is specifically fine-tuned for water conditions, PRIZM Ruby will cut the glare and work well too.
I Just ordered them.. Will these lenses fit the Holbrook Metal sunglass frames?
No, they will not.
My favorite Oakley Prizm lens: Ruby Polarized. Amazing!
Mega contrast boost! Thanks for checking out our video and sharing your experience with us!
Been waiting for this one! Dig my ruby's!!! Got the "Latch" Aero Flight!!! Love them!
Nice! That Aero Flight is a sick colorway!
I've bought the sapphire prizm polarized and it is a dream :) However i am looking for a lens that is a lil brighter for the grey days, so i ordered this lens yesterday for these days :)
Would these be the best for tennis in clay courts? Thanks!
Hey Luciano! For the best contrast enhancement on clay courts, choose a lens with a rose copper or amber base tint. This will help distinguish and separate colors making it easier to track the ball in flight. The Prizm Ruby's bronze base should perform decently well, especially in a well-lit environment, but stay away from the polarized option for this lens as it can affect depth perception. Also check out the Prizm Field OR SportRx's Sunset Lens that Transitions from Light to Dark Rose Copper with a Subtle Red Mirror.

which is the difference between rose gold, 24k gold and ruby? all are bronze base
Hi there! PRIZM 24K is the darkest followed by Rose Gold and then Ruby. See how they all compare to one another here: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-everyday-lens-technology/
Wooow! Nice lens!! I just bought this and I can't wait to have it on hand. Or rather, in the eyes. :D
Will the prizm ruby be good for sight fishing in stained water
Hey Bernice! Yes, with a bronze base tint, the Prizm Ruby should provide enough contrast to help with sight fishing in muddy waters,.
What is the view point of ruby prizm polarized lenses? Are they blue or reddish?
The Prizm Ruby has a bronze base tint that when combined with the red mirror delivers amazing contrast enhancement with color bursts and stronger depth perception cues. Great for very bright conditions!

If I want some reddish looking mirror lens and good for baseball which one are adequate ?
Hi Diego! These can work but PRIZM Field will rock your world. Check them out here: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-field-lens-technology/
@@sportrxeyewear I have PRIZM Field lenses and can vouch for this. For 30 some odd years I have been wearing cheap grey tinted sunglasses. I will never look back. PRIZM technology has far exceeded my expectations. The contrast is incredible! When I take my Oakleys off, the world looks grey. It's pretty wild...and very impressive!
Hi is it good for driving?
Generally speaking a polarized lens is ideal for driving but some people prefer a non-polarized lens option. I'd say these would function well as a driving lens if you don't go with the polarization.
I use Fuel Cell Prizm ruby polarized for driving everyday_ it s good and help s me lot
Great choice! Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
@@sportrxeyewear Hugs from streets of Sao Paulo Brazil_ Oakley all day
I am thinking of getting some Sutros in Prizm road or Ruby, cannot decide. Will use them for cycling.
Hi Jeff! If you are using them for cycling, we recommend PRIZM Road because it is specifically designed for cyclists and will bring out the most contrast in that road environment. You can check them out here: www.sportrx.com/oakley-sutro.html
Could they be suitable for driving on motorbikes ??
Hi Fred! Yes, PRIZM Ruby is a good option for motorbikes and it's also available as PRIZM Ruby Polarized to cut out glare on the road.
I am buying some off amazon how do I know if
It’s 100% authentic/ real ?
Hi there! Check out this video to determine if your Oakleys are the real deal: th-cam.com/video/2dcBYCUFSOQ/w-d-xo.html
I just purchased these. I got them for everyday use, but also for golf. Will these work, or should I purchase the ones specifically for golf?
Hey Luke! Prizm Ruby will certainly help with relief from eye strain as well as improving contrast on the course, but if you're wanting the best golf lens available, definitely try out the Prizm Golf or Dark Golf.
After much research I decided to get a pair of FLAK® 2.0 XL BLACK CAMO with these PRIZM RUBY lens. I wanted something to use everyday and also Paragliding in different light conditions so the 17% light transmission was a good compromise. Did not want Polarized as it makes digital instruments hard to read. Also I am hoping the Bronze base will be good for flying. Sort of hard to find much information on flying sports as it's not as big as all the other sports you cover.
Hi there! Let us know how they work out for you! We will have to create some paragliding content soon! Thanks for the heads up!
Is this closer to a red or orange lense?
Hi Jason! It is a bit closer to red! Hope this helps!
Do they filter blue light a little bit?
Yes, they filter out blue light up to 400 nanometers!
How does the ruby hold up to fishing? Specifically,lake fishing?
Hi Trevor! PRIZM Ruby can be used for lake fishing. We would recommend going with PRIZM Ruby Polarized because it will greatly reduce glare. If you find yourself in super bright and sunny conditions we would recommend PRIZM Jade or Sapphire since those lenses are a bit darker than Ruby. You can contact one of our certified opticians if you need more guidance on which lens to choose: www.sportrx.com/contact
@@sportrxeyewear awesome thanks. I've ordered the Prizm Ruby Polarized and they are coming tomorrow. Watching some videos, I felt like maybe I picked the wrong lens.
Seems you guys are still don't know what you're talkin about I bought about $650 worth of Oakleys glasses just to get the right lens and there's a difference between wearing them inside and live and when I mean live is the actual color to it Ruby is not orange and it's pink outside with a slight purple to it and other colors you guys need to know how to explain the color Ruby
Thanks for tuning in, Edwin!
is prizm ruby good for baseball
Although it CAN be used for baseball, PRIZM Field is a much more optimal option. You can learn more about it here: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-field-lens-technology/ Thanks for watching!
Can you keep these in a protective case in a hot car for a long period of time? Obviously not in direct sunlight. Will the frame warp from the sun? Ty
There are a lot of factors at play in that scenario but we would advise against it.
Ahhhhh ahh ahh ahhhh ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Got me in singing class over here… 😅

is prizm ruby always polarised?
Hey Jonas! Prizm Ruby is available in both polarized and non-polarized.
What lenses are used in photochromic oakley glasses? Are they grey based prizm? Thanks
Hello! The plano (non Rx) photochromic lenses included with some frame Oakley frames have a grey base tint with a subtle iridium (mirror) coating, BUT does not include PRIZM tech. There are no photochromic+PRIZM lens options. Hope this helps!
