Replace Gold Iridium with Prizm

Why would you put Prizm last? I thought Prizm was supposed to be better.
If you believe the hype, yes.
But if you have access to the legacy tints with more varied base colours, you may understand the ranking.
Prizm base, generally, is rosy, which I personally find tiresome.
I'm sure there's an application for Prizm where it's the cat's a$$, but I've not found it yet.
 
I was going to switch to a Prizm lens. Aren't they supposed to be better?

"Better" usually goes attached to a specific characteristic. Is it better at highlighting "x" or "y", better for driving, better for riding, better for low light, etc.

While Prizm may be better in one or several aspects, it is important to define which those are.

I like the many Prizm lenses I have ... But I also love a lot of my non Prizm lenses for various reasons.

It's perfect with snow. Otherwise it's a bit hit and miss

I guess I did. I've been wearing the same Oakley sport glasses for about 17 years. These glasses worked for everything, except in the dark. Lol

I've literally had one lens, which worked for just about everything. I was hoping to find another one that would work the same way.
