Visibility for bikers: Oakley Radar Prizm in the test
Mirrored, polarised, self-tinting. It seems that everything has already been done with bike glasses. With the Prizm Trail lens, however, Oakley is launching a novelty on the market: a sport-specific lens.

If you look for the first time through the Prizm lens from OakleyThe difference to conventional sunglasses is like HD television with vibrant colours compared to grandma's dusty tube TV. The specially developed tinting enhances certain colours, resulting in a very high-contrast image. Details in trees and on the trail are better perceived. The only criticism: the Prizm lens is addictive. If you take the glasses off, the world looks pretty colourless and pale.


Conclusion Razor-sharp vision: The Prizm lenses ensure optimum vision.


PLUS High-contrast, colour-intensive image, can also be driven in the shade
MINUS Low tinting
