I have oakley airbrakes rn and want to get a replacement lens. Has anyone here tried the prizm lenses and are they worth spending an extra $50?

I have the black iridium prizm and still used them in low light conditions with no issues. Favourite lens I've ever owned

Ye these work in everything. I usually regret switching to a true low light lens because they never work as well as black iridium.

I used the rose prizm lenses for the last two seasons and they work great, some shops have a setup where you can look at POV skiing footage and wear the prizm lenses. In my experience, they help very much with seeing details in the snow even in flat light. I was hit in the face by quite a few trees and bushes taking sketchy lines and wrong turns. Great lens, would recommend.

Everything pretty much has already been said. The answer is yes, spend the extra cash. You might be able to find discounted lenses on amazon or ebay too.
