Prism Low lights starting to appear on eBay, Jawbreakers for a month now and just now spotted my preferred frame the EV Zero. Shame it’s the white frame though, will hold out for another colour. Launch should be soon, this month..

Ah yes I see the Jawbreakers now in white. Guessing EV Zero's will be up soon too. Spotted a new carbon fibre frame finish on the EV Zeros, sort of want, not sure if tacky though
Just not up for a white frame right now, really hope we don't have to wait until next season to get other low light frame colours

The the polarised lenses available for the Jawbreaker are more suited for bright sunlight rather than changing light conditions.wilwil wrote:No one recommended polarised. Any reason?

Low light is low light so anything that helps increase visual accuity should suffice I guess.. I rather miss the old High Intensity Yellows for the M-Frame but you can find clear yellow lenses on Ebay for much less than had you dumped unnecessary money into a Prizm Low Light....I have one of these, does extremely well on cloudy days though my 5am rides (pre-daybreak) usually has me reaching for the clear transition lenses.

Right... so I've never been one to deck out on glasses - used to have Northwave, and then some Bolle - one's that sit very close to my face... but look more minimalistic / classic.
I just road into work; dropped them and crushed em under my wheel... oops.
So looking at glasses now... where do I need to go to read up on all the differences?
Basically - I do early morning rides, and late from home - in the dark / wet.
I used to swap lenses; light/clear, and back/tinted...
Suggestions?

It's all about the adventure .
Well you guys convinced me to order a Prizm road lens to replace my black iridium so ciao ciao £50.
Hope it's worth it!
On another note, have people tried other prizm lenses for road? Looks like some people claim the deep water prizm is good for very high light.

When it's quite overcast and raining, which it often is here on the Wet Coast of Canada, I really like a yellow lens. I still have one set of original shape Radar glasses fit with a yellow lens for the low light riding. A friend of mine recently got some Jawbreakers with the Low Light Prizm lens, and it does seem fantastic for the same conditions. On my list to add to my collection....
As for pure night riding, I rarely do it but I think the best solution is a clear lens. My opinion is that the rider needs maximum light field entry, and even yellow or LL Prizm are taking some of the light away.
