If your interested in getting rid of your IOX yellows, I’d make u an offer.

Ryders Inside, where dim images are seen more easily so I presume dim light while skiing will be better.
Ryders outside in the sunshine for a minute or two
Note that left eye surgery was yesterday.
Are these the Ryders "Face"? How are they working out for flat light? I just came back from 4 days in Deer Valley, first time skiing after a 30-year break and it was wonderful EXCEPT for the runs in flat light. Part of the problem was my glasses fogging under the goggles, so I'm interested in trying the Ryders route. Thanks!

Did you get the Prizm Persimmon?I'm seeing conflicting information about the Prizm Persimmon tint. I swear I saw a page on the Oakley site which I can't seem to find now that says that the VLT is 70-something % for that tint. And on their lens guide, it shows the Prizm Persimmon aligned with the Prizm HI Pink. But on this site, which seems to have just copy-pasted product info from Oakley, it says that the VLT is 57% for that tint https://www.dicksboardstore.co.uk/2020-oakley-fall-line-xm-snow-goggle-prizm-snow-persimmon.
Based on what I've seen in person (though I didn't get a chance to put them on), I'm thinking that 57% sounds more accurate. The classic Persimmon was 54% according to this old product chart https://www.absolute-snow.co.uk/buy...-buying-oakley-ski-or-snowboard-goggle-lenses. And in person, the HI Pink looks lighter than the Prizm Persimmon, not just a different color.

I’m very disappointed with the Hi Pink Prizm. I just want a High Persimmon again. For NewEngland, Hi Pink is not adequate.
What do you find is the Prizm effect?
The Hi Pink Prizm works better for my eyes than either the Hi Persimmon or Hi Intensity Yellow.Did you get the Prizm Persimmon?

You’re out west? You’ve got 1-2 miles less atmosphere.The Hi Pink Prizm works better for my eyes than either the Hi Persimmon or Hi Intensity Yellow.
mrsjmills prefers the Hi Yellow in flat light. I don’t have the Prizm Rose but would like to try it as well

Prizm Rose is darker. Some find it acceptable low light in the west.
This particular sentence is repeating marketing nonsense. The rest of the post is more or less correct.One thing they have found is by eliminating some narrow wavelengths between our eye's 3 cone red green blue color receptors, that can also result in better overall contrast.
....The difference between $200 goggles and $40 goggles with the same tint is mostly due to this other factor.
After I had my eyes fixed last fall my Giro Vivid Infrared lens works really well in flat light with a 58% VLT. It's good in bright sun too as long as it's not shining directly into your eyes. I have a lighter yellow that I don't think I'd use except at night.Smith CP storm yellow is just about the only lens that has VLT of >50% (65% to be exact). The pink/red storm lens is only 50%VLT. Red lenses give more contrast than yellow (hence Oakley Prizm lenses are all very red), but they lose on VLT. So, you can pick your poison, you can get less light with somewhat higher contrast or you can get more light with slightly reduced contrast. In low light or flat light conditions, I would always pick more light, so I bought the goggle with CP storm yellow lens.
