Oakley Prizm Lens Technology Now Available
Tuesday, February 4th, 2014US 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.
