Probably gonna get some clear lenses. Already have some yellows ones for low light but I'm not liking them as much these days. What does everybody else use when it's socked in?

x2 on the Red (or Rose as some call them!) I used to run blue all the time until I tried red for a weekend. It does take a a minute or two for your eyes to adjust to the red when you put them on but after that they are the best in my opinion.

rose or ornage are best for low light,,,, yellow or clear for nite,,


dont think clear would be very good during daytime low light,,, the tints give you a bit of definition to the snow so it doesnt look all flat,,

try a few everyone is different and the light conditions vary so much,,

I try and buy gogs with the free second lense

Orange for super tight trees/low light, chrome for sun, or I just run light sensitive all the time. The change isnt drastic (its like a transition glass), but does the trick for me, plus no switching needed! Pro-Grip makes single and dual light sensitives that work on the same goggle too, so one lense, one goggle, and Im set year round!!!

On cloudy days with flat light I like blue. But when it's really sunny blue isn't always tinted enough.

I use Scott auto-tinting googles from clear in low light to blue in bright light. They work pretty good, got them from Royaldistributing.com !

Progrips all the way, got a set this year and I dont know how I was riding all that time before with a single colored lens, the light sensitive is pretty awesome

Go with the rose coloured Bolle from Costco. They are wicked for low/flat light and then when it get's sunny it's like fuggin HD! Another bonus is the price 50 bucks!

I run the Oakley high intensity yellow pretty much 90% of the time. Even on sunny days they didn't bother me which yellow usually kills me in the sun. Low light they are great. In dense fog there isn't much out there that will make things a whole lot better. I've tried the blue and rose. I have the Oakley persimmon as a back up lense in my back pack and a set of Crowbar with g30 lense.

I agree with this guy. I've owned Haber's, Oakleys, yellow, blue and BY FAR the best is the Rose Bolle from Costco. IMO.
