The technology is described as PRIZM new earmuffs, which eliminate background noise and make you feel the music high quality & agrave ;. Cos & Igrave; works Prizm, softens the colors less important and optimizes the focus of the essential colors for skiing. In this way, eliminates distractions caused by "noise" color background which interferes with the visual perception, hiding details and variations in the consistency of the ground. Ma & egrave; really cos & Igrave ;? After a day of testing, we can say: you! There are many inventions to see better when there & rsquo; & egrave; a situation of brightness & agrave; flat, in the absence of light conditions ideali.In this case we say that the result & egrave; evident from the first use. The mask has a lens very clear, pinkish, which gives an immediate feeling of brightness & agrave ;. But it & egrave; this l & rsquo; important aspect, & egrave; the contrast that this lens can give. The shadows that you see in flat light conditions can lead to heat & rsquo; focus lens without details that are non-existent and that, with yellow lenses are only abbozzati.Il result & egrave; constant, both in situations of light variable of flat light, with an improvement over traditional lenses really elevato.La coloration of the lens makes it very clear, however, a bit & rsquo; too & ldquo; & rdquo enlightening; in situations of full light, almost annoying when you wake with the sun in your face, having (on wide slopes) almost a feeling of abbaglio.A this, theoretically, we think Oakley departing, producing three different lenses with different gradations colors, a Black Iridium, designed for intense light, the Jade Iridium, suits pi & ugrave; various variable light conditions with alternating sun and clouds and the Rose, for light & # 147; & # 148 flat; of covered skies and nevosi.Questo & egrave; The main flaw of a lens or almost as & eacute; perfect depend cos & Igrave; so much by color gradation. The mask, meaning frame, & egrave; & Ldquo; classic & rdquo; Oakley: spherical lens abundant, very high surface area and more modern look. Despite its size, l & rsquo; integration with two helmets (Willow and Poc) & egrave; proved to be very good, without excessive pressure points. Ultimately the lens & egrave; promoted to 100% for the & rsquo; aspect of this test: the ability & agrave; highlight the roughness & agrave; soil, raising the contrast in real situations hazy sky. The small defect & egrave; instead traceable in coloration excessively clear of & rsquo; review sample, which makes the lens uncomfortable situations for clear skies and sunny.
