NOTE: PRIZM Deep Water Polarized has a rose base and PRIZM Shallow Water polarized has a copper base.
One thing with those shallow water lens or most amber style lens in general is that during the fall when the leaves are changing. It is absolutely the lens to have. The amber hue goes well with the fall colors and they truly make everything just absolutely pop hard.
Hi Will! Thanks for tuning in and sharing your experience with us!
Hi, I’m looking to buy the deep water lens for casual use - sunny days, driving etc - I just love the look and colour of the lens!
My favourite lens are the ones that give that kind of retro amber hue. Makes driving clearer and just love the look and feel. Does deep water do this?
Thanks so much for an awesome video! Super jealous… From the currently very rainy UK !
Mr. Difference between glasses polarized and prizm
Which lens do you recommend for fishing from jetty’s, piers, dikes or the surf?
I am a surfer/sup'er/skater/cyclist. Would you recco shallow or deep for the cycling portion of above?
What color of oakley lenses (besides blakc or grey) are grey or black when you look thru them?
I'm trying to decide which lens would be better suited for a canoe (non-fishing) trip down a river. The depth varies, and the week-long trip is actually about 50/50 lake and river. I'm looking for assistance in spotting rocks in the shallow sections so I can steer around them. For that purpose, the shallow water lens seems to make sense. But, I'm not fishing at all, and I feel like I would enjoy the colors of the deep water lens better on a general day-to-day basis. Your thoughts? Is a copper base lens still nice to wear when off the river? My local sunglasses store didn't have any in stock to try out.
Hi Kyle! We would go with PRIZNM Deep Water Polarized if you are out in the sun a lot and want maximum protection. Both lenses provide superior contrast and the glare reduction and contrast of PRIZM Deep Water should still help you spot rocks beneath the surface of the water. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the video! I live on the ocean, but do a lot of fishing in shallower water too (about 50/50). Will the deep water lens work in shallow water? Will the shallow water be protective enough for ocean glare?
Hi Sam! We would recommend PRIZM Deep Water and it will still function in shallow water, just not quite as optimal as PRIZM shallow water.
Looks like you can see the eyes more through the greens lens and the deep water lens looks like they conceal the eyes more?
And if it is which is better for my situation as a trucker?
Great Video!! This video is a bit old but if I'm sailing which lenses will bring out the shadows of the wind.
Thanks for checking it out! Both options would work well but we really love PRIZM Deep Water!
Hello, which one of these sunglasses would you recommend for general everyday use? The weather here ranges from cloudy and overcast to sunny.
Costa Copper base lens tint performs decently well in cloudier conditions. The Green mirror will help a bit more for bright sunnny days. If you're particulary light sensitive then try out the bronze+green mirror.
Would either of these lenses aid in cleaning pools? I'm looking for something to help me see debris on the bottom of the pool when the there are shadows/light shimmer?
Hi Bryce! Either option will help you see through the water but since pools are not too deep we would recommend PRIZM Shallow Water! But if you live in a super sunny environment then Deep Water may be the way to go because it is a slightly darker lens. .
Another great review, great info!
I noticed the Oakley Deep Water is a pain to keep finger prints off of and want to get your opinion. I of course don’t handle my glasses by the lens but find to even get a smudge off you have to work harder than normal and they def. show up in no time. I have the trail non polarized and have never had an issue. Is this common with the polarized deep/shallow water?
Hi Brian! Thanks for the love! This is not an issue we hear about often. Fingerprints may be a bit more noticeable because it is a darker tint lens. Also, anything that increases the oils on your skin such as lotion/sunscreen may make the fingerprints more obvious. We always recommend using the microfiber cloth that comes with your sunglasses to clean your lens. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you out with!
Just noticed this too on my new glasses. smudges will smear over the lens but not come off completely. Something to consider if you’re buying.
Thank you for the videos - any chance you can get your hands on maritime prizm and compare all three? Thanks
Hello Ryan! Thanks for the suggestion! We will take that into consideration for future videos. PRIZM maritime is more of an all-around polarized lens whereas PRIZM shallow water and deep water hone in on more specific circumstances.
This video is kinda old, but I wanted to know if the shallow water will also work in deeper water. I live in Florida where I have the best of both worlds, shallow estuaries and offshore fishing. Would I need two different pairs?
Hi Carlos! PRIZM Shallow will still function in deep sea conditions but PRIZM Deep Water would be the most optimal since it is fine-tuned to help you separate the blues in that environment. This helps your eyes pick up on details easier. Hope this helps!
Hi guys - great video and would like to get a pair of Split Shots in Shallow Water for fishing. Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a prescription option. Do you know when these will be available? Thanks!
Hi Andrew! Not yet- we get a pretty decent demand for it though and have told Oakley that it would be a good idea to introduce it to the rx world! We will be sure to get some content out there when it becomes available!
SportRx great thanks and fingers crossed they’ll bring it out soon, stay safe! 😊👍👍
You guys are the best, keep it up, sending love from Saudi Arabia
Thanks for the love!!
Hi, what do you recommend for bank fishing a 100m deep water reservoir with the water on the greener color side?
Hi Nicole! It sounds like you may be able to go either way there. Deep Water is slightly darker than shallow water and shallow water is not available in Rx if you need them in prescription. However, you will not be disappointed with either lens. If you would like more feedback on which lens would be best you can always contact our certified opticians via phone or live chat here: www.sportrx.com/contact
Great video! Which Lens would you recommend if I also want to use them for hunting and other outdoor activities ? I also plan to use the sunglasses often for daily use. So just being out, driving, etc...
Just a note, I do mainly fresh water fishing. Like trout fishing
Hi Henry, I think either one of these lenses would work just fine and I may suggest Deep Water if you are in a bright environment the majority of the time since it is a bit darker than Shallow Water. One thing to keep in mind is that the polarized filter on the lens has tendency to make screens/gauges difficult to read but on the flip side it gives you great glare protection on the water and road which is essential. I hope this helps but if you want more feedback to help you find the most suitable lens for your needs you can always contact one of our certified opticians on the phones or via live chat here: www.sportrx.com/contact
Hello, which model is the most recommended for fishing in rivers and lakes in Patagonia, and for daily use? Greetings
Hi Pablo! You can't really go wrong with either but we sure do love PRIZM Deep Water.
Hey What frames are listed here? Im really trying to find a good set of frames and have been looking at the SYLAS frames. But the Jade Green frames in beginning of this video seems to be a cool set of frames as well.
😎👉www.sportrx.com/oakley-split-shot.html
Hi. I need help. I row 3 times a week on a river plus races which can be in all types of depth. For this purpose I need crystal clear clarity on the water surface Im not interested in water depth and what's underneath it more than 1 foot. I can get glaring morning sunrises or glare of the water. Also I need approx 14cms width... Ideas?
Hi Shane! PRIZM Deep Water Polarized would work very well for you.
Thanks for the video. Have a question about the shallow water lens. I’ve owned the deep water lens until losing them to a kiteboarding fall. I’m considering trying out the shallow water lens for kiteboarding but the main purpose would be for spotting aquatic life up close. Fish, jellyfish, turtles etc. that we can kite by pretty often. Without endangering them, they’re usually a couple meters away. I’m in Southeast Asia in water that closer to shore has a greener tone than deep blue water. If we’re usually kiting within 300 meters of shore, at most ~500m, would the shallow lens be better to view and enjoy the aquatic life as we surf by?
OOOoooo sounds beautiful! The shallow water lens sounds like it would excel in that environment. I would recommend giving it a go!
how do these compare for offshore/fishing use? Oakley Prizm Deep H2O vs Costa 580G blue mirror
Thank you
Both are amazing lens options and you really won't be disappointed in either! You can always chat w/ our certified opticians if you really need some help picking the right one for your specific needs: www.sportrx.com/contact
Can I get the Prizm Jade Shallow Water lens in prescription & non polarized? I have LCD navigation instruments on my boat and polarized lenses are no good.
PRIZM Shallow is not yet offered in Rx. Be sure to contact our opticians for more options: www.sportrx.com/contact
Hello guys!
Very good video but I still have a big question about which to buy, I live in a city of Brazil where it is very sunny I usually go to the coast but the same use would be more for day to day and countryside, I'm looking for a Comfortable and accurate lens at the same time!
Please, could you help me:? Would Deep Water be the most suitable or Shallow Water?
Thanks!
Hi there! We are absolutely loving PRIZM Deep Water. It will also give you a bit more protection on those bright and sunny days! Thanks for tuning in!!
@@sportrxeyewear Thanks for answering me you guys are great.
Hi ! I would like to buy one of them but I’m really undecided which one suit better for lake fishing low as 5” max to 15” ? Thank you
Oakley's Shallow Water polarized is the way to go for freshwater fishing 🎣
Thank You guys for the information
Hello! We are glad that we could help! Thank you for commenting!
So I have the double edge, what is the color of these lenses exactly of I wanted to ordered each?
Hi there! The Double Edge is available w PRIZM Deep Water in both non rx and rx. PRIZM Shallow Water is not yet available in rx.
Would deep water lens work for Sea kayaking with high waves? Is prescription option available now?
It should! Yes, they are available in prescription as well.
How about the best for being on the water lake, beach, pool?
Great idea, Jerry! We will run that by our content team!
Can I use any of these lens for driving if you drive alot (Trucker)?
Yes you can! PRIZM Deep Water Polarized would be best because it is a bit darker.
Which would be best for cat fishing in Spain with the bait far out in merkey green water ? It seems to me they would be totally different in green coloured water at a distance rather than fishing close to the boat in clear blue water.
Hi Jake! PRIZM Shallow Water is still going to be your best bet. This lens has has a copper base to give you the contrast needed to see in green water too! Thanks for reaching out!
Hi, would you recommend shallow water or deep water lenses for ocean lifeguards based of sandy beach?
Hi there! We would recommend PRIZM Deep Water Polarized! It is slightly darker than shallow water and will offer optimal glare protection when you are looking out at the sea of blue.
@@sportrxeyewear Thanks a lot 🤙🏼
Sportrx, I do alot of saltwater fishing from the surf or off the pier at the beach. Would the deep water lens work best in this environment?
Yes it would! Shallow Water is mainly just preferred in creeks or rivers. Sounds like Deep Water is your best bet!
Thank you for the response.
Would you say that these green shallow water are the same as the green lens of costa Del Mar
Hi there! They do have some similar features. Both lenses are polarized, have a copper base and are meant for inland fishing. Please let us know if you have any additional questions: www.sportrx.com/contact
Thank you for your reply. I own a pair of Oakley turbine and I’m looking for a second pair and I’m curious if the split shot is similar in size.
What about the yellow lensens for freshwater fishing?
That could work but PRIZM Shallow Water will protect your eyes more from the sun and allow you to see through the water easier.
What's the link to get the ones Nick is wearing? Thank'''s!
That particular colorway is discontinued, but you can purchase replacement lenses for the Split Shot to pair with any frame color offered. The lens Nick is wearing is the Prizm Shallow Water Polarized 🎣
Will sapphire prizm help see gators in shallow water?
I wanted to get a pair that I can also drive with I drive for a living and I would like to know which one would be best.
Hi there! We would go with PRIZM Deep Water Polarized if you are primarily in sunny conditions. It is a darker tint than PRIZM Shallow Water and will give you extra protection. Hope this helps!
I have both and prefer shallow for everything, the deep is to dark in my opinion.
Hey, great video. I had a pair of Costa but unfortunately lost them. How do Oakley hold up against Costa or Maui Jim regarding quality and durability? Is it glass or plastic in the lenses on the shallow water model?
Hi there! Oakley PRIZM lenses are made of Plutonite. This is a high grade poly-carbonate lens. Oakley does not offer glass lenses.
How do these lenses hold up again corrosion in salt water? I’ve had experience in the past with Oakley lenses that ended up having speckles on the lens from getting saltwater spray on them.
Hello Clayton! Oakley PRIZM lenses are made form Plutonite(high-grade polycarbonate) which is Oakley's proprietary lens material. If you get salt water on the lenses just be careful when drying them off because there is potential for them to get scratched. Hope this helps!
Have diference between Prizm Jade Polarized and Prizm Shallow Water?
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.
good video I got the deep water Holbrook's and I love em
Thanks for the love, Anthony!
no problem man ....do u know where I can get a hard case for them ?
What glasses frame yall use in here
Hi there! It is the Oakley Split Shot! You can check it out here: www.sportrx.com/oakley-split-shot.html
Hi, what do you think of using Oakley deep water in fresh water?
I think it works great for fresh water!
I use the deep water Holbrook for freshwater and they are great 👍
Great video I have both lenses and prefer the shallow even when deep sea fishing. The deep water lense is just to dark for me.
Hi David! Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
Hi mate I do a lot of beach fishing what do you reckon is the best one deep or shallow
Do you happen to know why Oakley doesn't make replacement lenses for the Split Shots? I ordered the Matte Black with the Deep Water Lens. However Id like to change the lens out to something that's not mirrored. Do you know if Oakley will come out with replacements?
I like your video by the way!
Hello Tim! It seems Oakley makes replacement lenses for their very top tier frames. I am guessing replacement lenses are not yet available because the Split Shot was launched in September. Hopefully they will be available in the future. If you happen to wear an rx we can always make custom rx lenses for your split shot with Oakley authentic lenses. Thanks for reaching out!
Can you use the shallow water lenses for snow conditions?
Hi Martin! It really depends on what activities you will be using them for. PRIZM Shallow Water Polarized can be used for snow but some people prefer a non-polarized lens in the snow because if you are out skiing or snowboarding a non-polar lens will help you better spot the glare from ice on the slopes. However, a polarized lens can be used in the snow and it will offer maximum glare protection. Oakley has PRIZM Snow lenses specifically designed for the snow which you can check out here: www.sportrx.com/blog/oakley-prizm-snow-lenses-guide/ And they just started putting these lenses in some of their top sunglass styles which you can see here: www.sportrx.com/blog/best-oakley-sunglasses-for-skiing/
Thank you very much! I’m going to be working a as a lift operator this season and I didn’t wanted to be using mi non polarized goggles all the time, and I got a pair o Holbrook’s with shallow water lenses gifted which I was thinking of using them to work and for tourin, and I wanted to know if they were going to be useful for that. Thanks for the good attention
For sailing?
YES! These are great lenses for sailing!
Are the lense glass or plastic
Hi Adrian! Oakley has created a proprietary lens material called Plutonite. It is a high grade polycarbonate blend.
So the prism polarize will work inshore fishing out of a kayak?
Yes! That is exactly what the lenses are made for.
Hi guys and thanks for this technical an deteiled video 👍🏻
A question and help from you :
My girlfriend a few days ago have gift me the radar ev path shallow water polarized... i'm a fisher and basically i practice on the river mouth on the beach, another kind of fishing tecnique even in the sand and sometimes a river spots.
In the first time that i've dress this glasses the problem was, as you tell in the video, the powerfull pump of all colours and for me this excessive intense pink/copper background presents in all the eye view.
For my curiosity I've tried the deep water lens on a shop and this one is too similar than a classical sun glasses lens... more relaxing and tipical from a pink/kopper background lens.
My main question is :
For my kind of fishing in shallow water i need to get used to the pink lens but specificly for the spots of shallow water, or even a deep water lens can satisfy myself but whitout the pink background?
For me is the first time with a tecnical sun glasses and i don't want to wrong in the choose...
Thanks and sorry for my english...
I write from italy...😉🤣🤣🤣
Hello Peppe! Thanks for reaching out! The rose/copper color you are seeing is what really delivers that contrast boost and allows you to pick up on all the details in your environment. PRIZM Shallow Water has more of a copper base and is a lighter tint than PRIZM Deep Water. Deep Water has a rose base and is a darker tint. If you can, try adjusting to PRIZM Shallow Water because this lens was specifically designed for the type of fishing that you do. However, if it is still hard to adjust to, PRIZM Deep Water will still work! Hope this helps!
@@sportrxeyewear thanks a lot !!!
You've helped me so mutch...
As the days go by the internal tint of lenses is so familiar and I start to discover and understand the potentialities of this kind of glasses !!!
Thanks again and CONGRATULATIONS for the videos and the great job!!!
Enjoy the Sun and Fun !!!
how deep can you see the fishes???
finally i can say whaching from my deep water splitshot
So, shallow water is everything but the ocean, and deep is the ocean?
Pretty much- PRIZM Deep Water can also be used in larger lakes.
Lol i keep looking at that ginger mustache going in his mouth! Trim that nastyness! Im a ginger so i can make fun 😂
Imagine how those mustache colors pop when viewed through these lenses!
So many words and not useful information
