HI Persimmon lens

[Sushobhon]

Hi everyone i an thinking of getting a HI Persimmon lens for my radars. .i know it has blue iridium coating over them but still want to know is it enough to use it on a medium bright day.. It will be very helpful if someone posts a picture of the lens both outside and inside. Thank you.

It's not a sun lens. It's a bright orange contrast, mostly used for sporting when you'd otherwise not be wearing sunglasses.

I rarely use my persimmons. Yellow and clear come out in low light or indoor, and I step right up to VR28 and similar when there's even a bit of sun.

Yes vr28 is a all round lens... I don't have vr28.. I have blue iridium which has the vr28 base... What's your thought about new prizm trail lens? Can it used as a sun lens?

I don't have one, never tried one. I don't have a lot of exposure with the Prizm stuff aside from the few I own.

Blue (with VR28 base), persimmon, and hi yellow/yellow to give you an idea of what the HI does for the lens

Not for bright days. I use mine for rainy days or late afternoon/evening runs. Blue coating makes it look cool but I don't use it as much.

Nope.
Overcast yes.
I used it (have it on a Radar EV)once for a run in an overcast afternoon that then turned somewhat bright. It was good for the beginning of the run, but not adequate for the latter part (although still better than wearing no glasses).

Prizm trail has some similarities in the outside look (perhaps the bluish tint) but the view through is quite different.

Though Blue coating makes it cooler in the case of HI persimmon and HI yellow... It is still not usable in the sun... It is just an overcast lens Btw vr28 blue iridium is perfect in the sun.. It has that rusty look to it when looking through.

Yes both Blue iridium and prizm trail looks quite indentical from the outside but blue iridium is a darker lens where it has a 15% light transmission whereas trail has 36%.. pretty light than blue...
