i prefer the amber lens

 

[catmando]

The best goggle out there in my opinion is light sensitive blue.You may want to take a bank loan before you head out to by them.Very Pricey!Lens alone 70.00
But worth it!
catmando!

amber aren't great for snowy days, but there a good all around one... the best are yellow, light blue or rose lenses... but everyones got a different opinion...

 

[2003Summit]

I find amber increases the contrast and makes it easier to detect subtle differences in snow in all lighting conditions. I have never tried blue. I have some scott googles with the dual amber lenses. They have lasted me for years.

 

[shift]

As with a lot of other people here, I prefer the amber lens.. Athough I've never tried blue. Dark tint lenses are just too dark, and clear.. well they're just clear. I used to be a big Oakley fan and said I'd never switch to any other brand, that was until the dual lens kept fogging up on me one day to the point where I had to take my goggles off for the rest of the day. Since then I picked up a pair of Spy Targa II's with amber lens. I have nothing bad to say about these goggles, they're just that good!

 

[GRD]

I agree everyone is different... I where amber safey glasses when it is foggy out and not that cold. When it is cold and foggy I where clear goggles. I have heard the blue tint ones are good.

 

[Shredder]

I have a pair of Smith Warps with the Amp Blue lenses. Great fitting goggles, and the blue lense is a good all purpose choice. But; I still carry a pair of yellow safety glasses for those grey/flat light days.

 

[summit06]

Thats what I thought would come out. I wear the amber most of the time so I think I will get a pair of blue ones and try them. Thanks for the info

 

[Zipp]

Can anyone recommend a good quality brand, that don't fog and are scratch resistant, and where to buy 'em. I'm getting tired of the cord on the electric shield, but it's the only thing that works when the temp goes below double digits.

509 Sinister Goggles
The highly anticipated "Sinister" goggles from 509 Films have arrived. No longer are snowmobilers forced to use ski or motocross goggles. Designed by 509 Films, with the input of thousands of sledders world wide, the Sinisters are unquestionably the worlds first and only TRUE snowmobile specific goggle. Lets face it, to date, no optics company has invested in a snowmobile specific goggle line. Why? Because up until now, the major optics companies have shunned the snowmobile industry and cast it aside as being too small to warrant any serious investment into a snowmobile specific product. We as snowmobilers didn't have an alternative to the poorly fitting, ski & motocross specific goggles that are out on the market & as a result we had no other option but to buy into poorly made and poorly fitting goggles. Well times have changed...in a BIG way.

[smash]

like shredder I bought the smith warps but I went with the rose lens
rose probably not the best for low light but Iwould recomend the warps to anyone best fit Ihave found yet and the extra nose peice that mounts on the frame blocks any wind great pair of goggles and not that pricey

How do you like the 509's? Need new pair of goggles, thinking of trying them, always been a Oakley fan.

 

[doublek]

I wear Spy blizzards with amber lens. I think thats what there called anyways. The only time they fog up is when i get stuck and start sweating under my helmet, and the amber lens is good for all conditions.
But a good trick to un-fog your goggles is to place them under the hood of your sled for a couple of minutes. The heat under there will dry them off and clear them right up.

Why don't you just take them off when you're stuck..much easier.

 

[BIGFOOT]

I wear tinted & amber (North/edge) wrap around safety glasses. When I must use goggles I have a pair of Oakley.... Kind of got a orangeish tint. Also carry a small bottle of fog reducing lens cleaner. Have to apply when ever needed.

BEERGOGGLES......... LOL
. I LIKE TO USE THE HARD AMBER LENSES ON CLOUDY DAYS... USED TO USE "BLUE" LENSES SKIING, HOWEVER, AND THEY SEEMED TO WORK OKAY.

 

[renegade x]

The goggles I wear are Smith Turbos,I don't know if they are still available or not,they have a small fan in them that runs on 2 aaa batteries.I wear glasses and tried everything before buying these.The fan has a switch and if you only use it intermittantly the batteries will last about three days.If you dry them out after every ride,they are fog free.The only downfall is because of the batterie pack,you cant run quick straps.
