US Elite is now taking order for two styles featuring the new Oakley Prizm Lens Technology. I had a chance to start using the new lenses during range day at SHOT Show and I really like them. According to Oakley, the Prizm lens technology uses a formulated dye that boosts visual recognition of targets while blocking a variety of neighboring backgrounds such as dirt, trees and sky. The whole idea is to block certain colors of light in order to increase contrast. I know, it sounds great, but does it work? In my experience, yes. So far, they come in two gradients (TR22 and TR45) and I could easily transition from outdoors to indoors while wearing the lighter of the two (TR22). I really like them.
Currently, US Elite has the Flak Jacket XLJ Prizm with TR 45 lens available.
They also offer the M Frame 3.0 Prizm with both TR 22 and 45 lenses.
How is the lens tint compared to their VR28 “Rootbeer” color?
How do the lenses work in the “real” world? Are these strictly for competition?
There are available to the proper individuals from oakley SI as well.
