NOTE: PRIZM Deep Water Polarized has a rose base and PRIZM Shallow Water polarized has a copper base.
Is there an esthetic difference between shallow water, maritime, and jade colors or do they all look the same color wise.
But the official oakly site says that Deep Water and Shallow Water both has a rose base.
Just bought shallow water sunglasses. First time I used I went on my local lake in sunny day in UK. To be honest I wish my eyes have those lenses permanently. Totally different world. Prizm all the way. I do carp fishing and compering to other sunglasses this was the best choice. Highly recommend!
Awesome to hear! We are glad you found a lens that you love!
How do these compare to say... costa fantail 580g's? These splitshots are on sale.... may buy em and save over 100 bucks!
Thanks for the video. Would it be possible to use the PRIZM Shallow Water Polarized lens for playing golf as well? Also what about just day driving on a bright sunny day especially in the morning and evening glare? Would these lenses good for that too? It would be great if they could work well in each situation.
Hello Steve! The PRIZM Shallow Water Polarized can work for driving but it is fine-tuned specifically for water conditions. A key benefit of a polarized lens is that it cuts glare which is commonly found reflecting off car bumpers in traffic. A downside to a polarized lens is that it has been known to affect depth perception which is not ideal for golf. You may be better off going with an interchangeable lens option and getting two sets of lenses...If you would like more recommendations on one lens that will meet all of your needs, you can always contact one of our certified opticians here: www.sportrx.com/contact Thanks for reaching out!
@@sportrxeyewear Thanks for the reply. One thing I noticed in another one of your videos is that some think the golf prizm lenses are quite not dark enough. I am no pro golfer and I have been on the course before with polarized lenses.(maybe thats my problem) It would seem other than that polarized issue with depth perception that the shallow water lens would bring the contrast just like the golf lens with similar colors of green, brown, etc... Is that right?
Hello Steve! It sounds like you are on the right track. PRIZM Golf helps to separate the shades of green to make it easier to spot the fairway, fringe, and rough transitions. PRIZM Shallow Water boosts the green and copper hues in the water to make fish easier to spot. Both lenses are manipulating similar areas of the light spectrum but are fine tuned for each specific activity. There is also a PRIZM Dark Golf available now, too! You can learn more about that here: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-golf-lenses-prescription/
Steve Ice I have these and went golfing with them and as soon as I would tee off I lost my ball in the air every time.
G’day. How would the shallow water prizm perform in bright and flat light snow conditions. ? Seems like a good option. Thanks Nick.
Hi there! At 15% VLT it can perform in a variety of conditions. I think the one key consideration would be that it is a polarized lens which will cut glare and make spotting ice patches a bit harder since you won't catch the sun glare coming off them as much. But if that is not something you are worried about then I say go for it! Also, you can check out our PRIZM Guide to see how Shallow Water stacks up to the other lens options: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-prescription-lenses/
Will prizm golf lens be good for shallow fishing?
Good question! The short answer is no, because the Golf lens is not polarized. Polarization is key for any fishing environment to combat surface glare making it easier to see beneath the water surface. The VLT is high for the Golf lens as well, meaning it lets too much light pass through the lens where a darker tint is preferred for most fishing settings. Check out the Prizm Deep Water Polarized, Ruby Polarized, or Tungsten Polarized as top Oakley fishing lenses.
What is difference between the Prizm Jade Polarized lens AND Prizm Shallow Water Lens?
Hi there! The Prizm Jade uses a grey base tint with a VLT (Visible Light Transmission) of 13% making it a great option for bright, sunny conditions. Comparatively, The Shallow Water Iridium uses a Bronze base tint and has a VLT of 21%, which is suited more to medium light exposure. If you plan to do some near shore or freshwater fishing, you would likely want to opt for the Shallow Iridium polarized lens over the Jade.
would these be good for fishing on the rivers in Ireland?its more cloudy here then sunny.
was thinking between these shallow water or ruby lens, please help
which lens would you recommend for kayaking fishing maybe 5-25m of water shallow or deep water prizm?
Hello Andrew! At that depth, the PRIZM Deep Water will work the best. Thanks for reaching out!
Lmao 😂. Don’t even know where you’re fishing????? Dumb ass fuck
Great video, which lens would you recommend for trout fishing in like creeks etc...
Brian Lawrence Shallow Water Prizm or Shallow Blue Polarized
Hello Brian! We would recommend the PRIZM Shallow Water lens. It will give you great contrast and allows you to spot fish easier. You can learn more about it here: www.sportrx.com/blog/prizm-shallow-water-review/. Thanks for reaching out!
Thanks
Hi. Great video. Which of the shallow water or deep water prizm lens would be best in snow?? Cheers nick.
Thank you! We would go with PRIZM Deep Water because it will let less light through the lens(darker tint). This will help protect your eyes more when the sun comes out and the glare from the snow is kicking in. Hope this helps!
Hello, I have a question. I have a split shot with black prizm glass and I wanted to change it for a colored or polarized one, which model do you recommend? work in the field in summer harvesting
which one is suitable for driving pls? thanks
Hi there! Many of the PRIZM Everyday lenses work well for diving. We recommend a polarized lens because it will cut glare. PRIZM Shallow Water can work for driving but you can also check out all the PRIZM Everyday lenses here: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-everyday-lens-technology/
Do you happen to know what frames they are available in? I’m a huge fan of the Fuel Cells and have the deep water in them. I really want shallow water also, but can’t find that option on the Oakley site. Thanks
Hello! We do have PRIZM shallow Water lenses available in the Oakley Turbine: www.sportrx.com/oakley-turbine.html and the Split Shot: www.sportrx.com/oakley-split-shot.html. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you out with!
How do the Turbines frames compare to the Fuel Cells? I have been wearing fuel cells for 5 years.
What lens for Flak Jacket XLJ Lens, would you advise for someone on a turfed football field during the brightest & sunniest part of the day?
Hi there! PRIZM Field works great for those conditions. You can learn more about it here: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-field-lens-technology/
Brown Base Lens?? Says Rose on the Oakley site ,now is that only for the Polarized version?. Can you please confirm?? Thanks. Torn btwn these and the Tungsten Prizm Polarized, both seem to do what I need
Hello! You are correct. At the time of making this video, the Prizm Shallow Water was described as having a bronze base. While this is true, it is enhanced with a Rose tint as well. Given the choice for fresh/shallow water conditions between the Tungsten and the PSW, opt for the Prizm Shallow Water. Hope this helps!
What is the vlt percentage in shallow polarized lens? Is that better than Prizm Ruby Polarized in terms of contrast enhancement?
@@salmond_Lawistani15% I just bought a pair of 24K yesterday and ordered the shallow water lens. I’m hoping it makes everything pop more than the 24K
Hi, I'm working in the shallow water enviroment, swiftwater rescue. I've got the whole range of Prizm lenses for my skiing but am starting to go to Prizm Oakely for the river part. Am an owner of Flak 2.0 XL with the black prism which is a awesome lens for sunny as hell days. Which range of glass would you recommend for the river as I'll be working in cloudy days also but need so see the enviroment - preferably bottom of the river :) Am thinking Rose or Pink polarized level if I were to reference the skiing lenses?
Hi there! PRIZM Shallow Water is a great option for you. It will help you see beneath the surface of the water and it is a polarized lens so it will cut glare coming off the top of the water. Another option you can check out is PRIZM Tungsten. This allows a similar amount of light through the lens and is offered in polaried and non-polarized. Check out our PRIZM Guide here: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-prescription-lenses/ and if you want a second opinion you can always reach out to one of our certified opticians here: www.sportrx.com/contact
Hi, i would like to ask do you think shallow water lens is fine for daily use as well, like driving and etc.
Hi there! YES. PRIZM Shallow Water will get you by for everyday use. It is a polarized lens which makes it perfect for driving because it will cut the glare from the car bumpers or windshields out on the road. You can see how it stacks up against other PRIZM lenses here: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-prescription-lenses/
I do alot of bass fishing in the shallow water lense which color would be the best?
PRIZM Shallow Water is it! You will not be disappointed!
What are the straps that you use on these glasses? Do you know of straps that float also? Thanks
Hello Jade! The Split Shot comes with a 20" coated woven steel leash. We also have other leash options here: www.sportrx.com/oakley-leash.html. Dragon has a floatable series that you can check too: www.sportrx.com/shopby/brand-dragon/collection_type-dragon_floatable.html. Thanks for reaching out!

Hello, José! They definitely shouldn't peel. If you have any issues with your current lenses and you purchased them with SportRx, feel free to reach out and we can work out a solution for you. www.sportrx.com/contact
y can u not get the PRIZM Shallow Water in perscription
Good question! We are hoping Oakley will release it soon-but we have not heard anything yet.
@@sportrxeyewear I have the same issue. I am ordering oakley split shot with prescription lens. I have to make call between prizm jade polarized or Shallow Blue Iridium Polarized. Want to try shallow water lens but want them include prizm tech. So what are the differences between Prizm and HD technologies. What do in win and what do i lose in choise between those lenses i have mentioned? Glasses are for flyfishing mainly in inlands or in archipelago
Im on the same boat I’m looking for prism shallow water prescription lenses. But what would be comparable?? Need help!
@@JuanPerez-fy4jm I just received my new prescriptions. My previous lens was polarized jade iridium in gray base. Didn't want same color, so I end up shallow blue iridium HD polarized in split shot frame. Just didn't find color for me from prescription Prizm polarized. Made little background research from HD technology and they are also designed taken consideration of the fisherman's point of view. I was convinced about HD tec. At local optic store they made eye inspection for me and ordered glasses based on those numbers and I choose lens and frame. Glasses arrived like in one week, I was prepared for a month wait so that was positive surprise. HD lens also makes the colors brighter and clearer and lens is sharpening contrast also. Polarized lens helps me to see like twise as far under the surface than without polarization. Like the shallow blue iridium on brown \ bronze base (like I said previous base was gray so didn't want same base either ) . Your eyes will been seen through the lens but I don't mind that. Weren't cheap but I'm satisfied and for now think they were worth purchased.
how wide are the frames on the split shots?
Hi Josh! It is around 131 mm from inside of temple to inside of temple just behind the hinge.
Exactly i don t know why on oakley link on the spec is different i have it when i bought the split shot and too much contrast the sun blind my eye the green mirror not really mirror u see most the brown lense and your eye clearly and the green grase look like fake chimical grase and only the brown and red object pop out like crazy but..... No sorry i really don t like the contrast on the shallow water. Revo bleu lense give the best high and calm sepia contrast, boost a little bit color. the green red and brown look so beautiful and a deep blue mirror give a really nice look. Of course in my opinion.
Hi there! Thanks for sharing your experience with us. You are correct, the iridium mirror and base layer of the lens are different colors in order to give you a greater contrast boost.
Shallow Water is the best..I love looking through shallow water more than deep water..Also it is better looking than Jade imo.
Hello Sushobhon! Thanks for commenting!
Cuz you fish shallow?? Shallowzz yeah kids stuff
