Anyone really satisfied with Prizm Pink lens?

Fell on my face today cracking my HI Yellow lens.. Wondering if its worth investing in the prizm pink iridium lens, I use a ruby clear for night skiing so I'm mostly looking to see if it'd perform better in flatlight snowing conditions than the HI Yellow... Anyone who has the prizm pink ird what conditions do you use it most for, would you say it's better than HI Yellow? Thanks guys
 
I had hi yellow and now have pink iridium, pink iridium is slightly better in super flat light conditions ( i ski big white, notorious for its flat light days) but the pink is significantly better at adjusting your eyes to snow conditions once the sun comes out.
 
I picked up the PRIZM rose lens a month ago and so far its been perfect. Really good for snowy and overcast conditions here in the rockies. I also have the sapphire ird and i use it mainly for sunny / partly cloudy days.

I think the rose is too dark for days its snowing where the sun isn't out at all, at least coming from the perspective that in those conditions I'm use to using a bright yellow lens. For clouds & sun days I rotate between a G30, vr50 & HI Amber. I think if I was out west where you're above the tree line the rose would be great, but not sure for east coast?

i have them and really like them except on the brightest of days, one those days im crying on the lift because too much reflection gets through off the snow and its fuckingbright

Sounds like it's similar to the first original pink iridium oakley made before they ditched it and introduced the vr50 version. I loved my og pink, the vr50 replacement I bought isn't the same as og. Sounds like they combined the pro's of the two pinks and birthed the prizm pink haha

Wooord yo i totally meant the hi pink in my comment above. Not too sure what I was thinking haha. The hi pink are awesome for blower days and flat light as well. No problems so far

lil update on my experience now that I own hi pink... sorry in advance if it sounds like a bunch of jargen just trying to see if im just expecting too much out of a lens or im using it wrong..Or I just have superior vision? Or maybe I'm not skiing in shitty enough conditions to see the amazement in it - feel like unless there is zero sun out, prizm sapphire will do me just fine.

the beef I got with prizm hi pink is it doesn't really do much in making contrast really pop? That statement is from the contrast I see when I use prizm sapphire for just about everything condition wise, because its darker I feel like the contrast is better until the sun is hidden... but the contrast factor of prizm pink doesn't seem to be all that strong, its like when I had HI yellow it made shit weather brigther, but prizm pink seems to be more like a clear lens.
