I don't ride at night a lot but when I do I've always had to pull the goggles off so that I can see better. I currently have Oakley goggles with the Permission lenses that are great in the sun and the low light conditions, but not so good at night. Is there any color of lens that anyone can recommend for night riding? Just a food old clear lens the best for the dark?

We do quite a bit of night ridding and yellow is my lens of choice. Also a big fan of Rose for flat light.

I like Amber, and we use the Franken Sled Helmet lights which make a big difference as well. Light exactly where you are looking all the time.

mine are the Zeal auto tint lens. In the bright lights they are a dark rose tint. then as the light fades the lens automatically start to clear.
I love them, before riding with these I had Rose for day riding and would swap to yellow for night.

Definitely clear. But a couple of my riding buddies just bought 509's new photochromatic lens that changes from blue tint in the sun to clear in the dark, and they both LOVE them, so I'm gonna ask Santa for a new lens for Christmas.
