Hi Guys,

Im going to be running a small vessel in a first response capacity for a government agency. Im looking to pick up the appropriate eye ware for this. I have several PRIZM products and have been very impressed with them. I went looking and Ive found the following 4 tints:

PRIZM Maratime Polarized tint no actual stats
PRIZM Shallow Water Polarized tint, 21% Changing Light Increased Contrast Grey Base
PRIZM Deep Water Polarized tint 10% Bright Light Increased Contrast Grey Base
PRIZM Fresh Water Polarized tint,21% Changing Light Increased Contrast Grey Base
PRIZM Salt Water Polarized tint, 10% Bright Light Increased Contrast Grey Base

It seems that Shallow and Fresh are equivalents and Deep and Salt are equivalents, which I guess is some how ok? I know of deep fresh water lakes and shallow salt water but I guess if you have to pick a term. Can anyone come up with anything on maritime?


Im wondering if the amazing knowledge on here can shed some knowledge on this. Also did they ever make these tints into Alpha?

Thanks!!

PRIZM Deep and Salt are the same.
PRIZM Shallow and Fresh are the same.
Slat and Fresh are the old names.
I wouldn't call any of them a gray base but they are neutral in that items stay true color that is the benifet of any prizim lens true color recognition with increased contrast.


PRIZM Maritime is basically a slightly darker Prizm Shallow. For tactical/first response use I would suggest Maritime, better all weather/light condition use. The slightly lighter tint is going to give you better views of fine details. It was developed for Military forces based on water deployments.

As for the Alpha I have only seen it in gray, clear, Prizm Jade Snow, and the Prizm shooting lenses. I think the lack of Polarized options in the Alpha is due to the fact that it's primary use is intended to be tactical and Polarized lenses can mess with some sighting systems.
