Answer from ChatGPT:
The Oakley Radar EV Path sunglasses with Prizm Road lenses have a light transmission of 20% and are designed for medium light conditions. The lens colour is Rose, and the information note is 2. 
The UV protection category of sunglasses is usually divided into five categories:
- Category 0: Very light or clear filter, light transmission of 80-100%, suitable for low light or as protection against wind and dust.
- Category 1: Light filter, light transmission of 43-80%, suitable for cloudy days.
- Category 2: Medium filter, light transmission of 18-43%, suitable for moderate sunlight.
- Category 3: Dark filter, light transmission of 8-18%, suitable for strong sunlight, e.g. on the beach or in the mountains.
- Category 4: Very dark filter, light transmission of 3-8%, suitable for extremely bright conditions, e.g. on glaciers; not suitable for driving.
With a light transmission of 20%, the Oakley Radar EV Path with Prizm Road lenses falls into category 2, making it suitable for medium light conditions. For very bright conditions or strong sunlight, category 3 or 4 sunglasses would be recommended.
Please note that Prizm Road lenses are specifically designed for road cycling to enhance contrast and improve road vision. Whilst they offer full UV protection, they may not be dark enough in extremely bright sunlight. For such conditions, sunglasses with a lower light transmission (category 3) would be more suitable.
