Road and Gravel Optical Perfection. Oakley Radar EV Advancer & Prizm Golf Lens Review 

you wont be disappointed! and thanks, glad you liked the review!

right on, stoked you like the video ian! more to come soon!

🙏 much appreciated!

right on, that's awesome! i am glad the vids can be some helpful motivation for you! keep going strong my man!

Glad I could help! And glad you like the new shades 🤙

I did watch it without smiling

Very nice. I use them for hiking and ski touring also. The advancer nosepiece is awesome in my opinion. Its simple and works great. Its pretty sad they have discontinued it. Maybe they will have a new version releasing soon?

You wont be disappointed!

Reb C yo thanks Reb! Glad you liked the vid. And yeah I do. For my eyes the Prism Road is too dark to be a really versatile lens.

Glad you liked it!

Good stuff! The flight jackets are great also. But its crazy Oakley isn't continuing with the EV Advancers, they are some of the best. I love the nosepiece for preventing fog also. Hopefully the next models Oakley releases are improvements on the Advancers and the Flight Jackets

For all those, I think the prism golf is your best choice 🤙🏼

Steven Do Right on! Thanks for the idea, I’ll start putting together a list of my favorite rides around for another vid!

sorry my late reply! but yes, it looks like they have released a few new ones recently, and I can see them adding some more soon. although they still don't have that large of a selection, and no deep blue prism polarized yet

Victor Schepisi I’m haven’t spent a lot of time with the photocromatic lenses. So I can’t say too much about them. I’ve always preferred color-tinted lenses. I feel like the colored tint can even out the difference between the bright and shaded sections of road. With no tint, even if the light transmission is ideal, my eyes need more time to adjust to the different areas. And I just really like looking through tinted lenses. Especially these rose tint ones, once your eyes adjust everything just looks better

Right on! Thanks!

Very nice! I hope you enjoy them! I use the prism low light for dark/night rides and they work great. I have been trying a bunch of other lenses recently for different conditions, but still think I love the Prism Golf lens the most. It is just so versatile and is prefect for evening rides, which I do a lot of. I haven't used the photochromic lens yet, but might be testing that one out soon also. Cheers!

@@cyclistpete2090 nice one. I have just ended up with 2 x radar advancer frames lol. Was a ‘cheap’ pair on Amazon with prizm dark road along with a pair with prizm golf I had. So my intention is to leave prizm golf frame alone and use prizm dark road on the super sunny days but most of the time I’ll have the low light lenses in them and the prizm golf my go to apart from night riding. All fun and games :)

It will help as much as any other quality lens to reduce glare. These lenses aren't polarized, but the polarized ones would reduce glare more.

Yeah, its a super versatile lens. If your trails are pretty dark and its not a bright day, it might be a little bit dark. But other than that, I think its the best all-round. I think the tint color will help with contrast/visibility on the trails too

@@cyclistpete2090 I’m going to try the prism trail torch for my advancers. I have the golf lens for my flak jackets. You’re right as they my be a bit dark for covered trails. So I can switch and see what I like. Thanks for the video and input.

They are pretty similar. I think the jawbreaker is a little bigger. But maybe it just seems a little bigger because the frame wraps around the lens.

haha they are awesome, you wont be disappointed!

Yeah, they are all the same. And I think you should go for it. They are still my favorite lenses!

Definitely, because they are so lightweight and stay in place on your face really well. And I think they would work especially well for hiking, where you would be going in and out of shaded areas

I've just ordered a white framed one, was actually gonna buy the ev path I think but I actually made a mistake buying the advancer as I didnt see that nose flick thing at the pictures (white frame and white background). When I discovered it later I got so mad cuz I thought it was a simple design thing (not very pretty imo), however now knowing it actually has a function that works I might keep them after all. Still waiting for them though so gonna have to wait and see. I bought them for running, cycling, hiking.

i think the vents on the top of the new radar lenses help with fogging. and the nosepiece switch on these new ones works really well if they start getting foggy

Yeah, I used the Dark Golf for a while and it was nice, but not my favorite. For brighter sunny days I really like the Road Black the most. But the road Jade is great too. Check out this vid ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rdo2UAGdDUw.html

@@cyclistpete2090 but you said in that vid that the prizm jade wasnt as clear as the road or road blk?? I am considering jade road or sapphire in sutro lite..but i have trail torch and road blk and road now... would jade road or saffire be overkill?

​@@AA-ih6kt yeah the road jade didn't seem to have the same sharpness as the road or road blk, but it was still a great lens. I haven't ridden with the sapphire, so i cant say how well it compares. but i think the sutro lite with the jade would be pretty sweet addition to your collection. I have been thinking about getting the same recently..

Zach Ward happy to help! You won’t be disappointed 🤙🏼

I have, but just in the shop. it seems very nice. pretty similar to the golf, just a little less saturation and a little more orange. I've heard great things about it. but I'm not enticed to switch, the golf still is perfect for me, as my middle lens.

Wanna know as well

@@vinny889977 @chica yeah you can change the lens on these. It’s really fast and easy once you have done it a few times.

hey hideaki, they seem pretty nice. I like the styling on them a lot. I don't think they are practical as the radars in terms of performance, the lenses don't have as much curve and with the added frame around the lenses, i think you loose a little bit of visibility on that edge. also, i dont think the lenses are as easy to swap as with the radars. maybe something to keep in mind if you are planning on changing lenses often.

@@cyclistpete2090 thanks Pete!

hi somin. yes, seattle! haha the prism road is really nice too! better than the golf on bright, sunny days. but for versatility, I think the golf is better, especially on our partly/mostly overcast days we get a lot of. I might be getting some Seattle group rides started soon, you could try mine out for the day if you wanted to join

@@cyclistpete2090 yes I'd love to! Have some friends that I cycle together too, I'm sure they'd love to join. To your point, after a late afternoon/sunset ride, I'm not considering if photochromic would be the right one, esp given Seattle, haha!

hey, sorry my delay getting back to you. but that would be dope, and even better with more riders! I just put together a facebook group page for organizing these group rides, if you are on facebook and want to join facebook.com/groups/cyclistpeterides And for the photochrome lens, that might be technically a better lens for varying or darker light conditions, but I would still recommend the golf. The rose tint makes everything look so pretty and warm, especially in the evening with colored skies and lower sun. And I can use it in nearly any light condition, with the exception of it being pretty dark out. But maybe take that with a grain of salt, since I haven't used the photochrome lens outside of the store.. haha

Yo! No, you can’t see it.

@@cyclistpete2090, thanks! Just ordered the black polarized version 11% light transmission (I am very light sensitive) , and I was in doubt that it was a good product for me. I was only thinking about the nose piece disturbing my rides. But, if you can't see it it will be just fine. Sure, after I will get use to that pink shade 😀

Yeah. They are all a little different. I prefer non polarized for cycling. But everyone’s tastes are different

@@cyclistpete2090 I just got my custom radar ev a few days ago the polarized I can see much clearer and the colors are brighter just love it and it's my first pair of oakleys I bmx and Mountain bike other sunglasses different brands sun Burns my eyes I have no issues with the oakleys.my fame and ear pieces are all orange 300$ never spent that much on sunglasses it's worth it for oakleys

Very nice. Yeah I think the trail torch lens and this golf lens are really similar too. Just a slightly different tint color. Oakley hooks it up 😎

Cyclist Pete have you tried the jade and sapphire lens ? Any difference besides tint color, I want to be able to use a everyday lens .

Hi Chris, yes I've owned both, and they are both great lenses. For me, those are both best for bright and sunny days. But not something I would use everyday, they seem a little too dark on partly overcast days and in shaded areas. I think those are both around 12% light transmission.

Cyclist Pete what’s your go to everyday lens ? I ordered the low light but that’s for mtb purpose with the trail torch .

dang. but the gray lenses are nice too. and $60 off is definitely a good deal! and you can always pick up a set of the replacement golf lenses sometime in the future

I actually ordered Radar EV Path, which are smaller than I prefer so I sent them back. I will have to go to a store eventually to try out the Radar EV Advancer or the Radar EV Pitch.

Yeah they are. And the lenses are especially on trails, where you go in and out of shaded areas

ah, unlucky timing! yeah, you could just replace the nose piece with the new one. if you could fine one. I just tested, and the radar ev lens fits with the advancer nose piece

Cyclist Pete cool thx! 😎

yeah, if you can budget an extra lens, it wouldn't be bad to have both

cool as a coconut 😎

yoo glad you liked it jrod!

definitely a good guess.. its Seattle!

i wish! maybe some day 🤞

yeah, i wasnt a big fan of the frames either. I ended up removing the nosepiece from these and putting it on another pair of radar EV frames I had, and selling them. now im rockin custom all white advancers boii 😎

get it!

@@cyclistpete2090 ...I ended up getting the Road lol. It came default with the Jaw Breakers.

yes! trash them all! 😉 haha

Dang. Sorry to hear that they were too tight for you. I’ve really liked how they felt, and I haven’t heard other people comment on them being too tight. I hope you find another pair you like
