I've ran the rose colored during the day. Works good for all light conditions. Clear at night. Gonna try the photochromatic lense this year.... I've had a few friends say the blue is awesome for all light conditions during the day and not bad at night....

 

I've got a yellow tint for daytime, and clear for night.

 

This is what I run as well. The yellow is great. It really breaks up the snow for you, allows you to see moguls, holes and such. I ran yellow at night for a couple trips, until sleeting rain/snow made it difficult to see. Now I run clear for night time riding.

 

Im running the Rose for day and clear for night. Ive tried the smoked for day and if its cloudy out, it can be hard to see at times. Thinking of trying the polarized yellow lens

 

I've got yellow for day clear for night and picked up a rose tint for day also. Wearing them outside I think I'm gonna shelf the yellow and go with rose for day and clear for night. The yellow are ok but suck at night. Might be just me but I can't have anything but clear at night any tint at all really screws up my vison in the dark.

 

I like blue for day and use clear at night. I do not really care for the rose color at all.

 

Hmmmm I haven't tried my rose yet just out in lawn. What is it that you didn't care for. Just curious.

 

this will be my first season with goggles.My starting lineup for this year is a set of aviators photochromatic blue-clear for night and sinister-5 smoke for sunny days.I must say,if i had to do it over again,I would of done rose colored fire mirror for day and clear for night.Lets hope it works,I've given 509 enough of my money this year.

 

I run Rose during the day, bright yellow during real cloudy days and clear at night.

 

I have the rose and yellow for the day and a clear for night time. Yellows okay at night but is a little tougher than clear to see out of.

 

rose and yellow lens for daytime and clear for the night....

 

Started with yellow for day, clear at night. Tried rose and like it a lot more during daytime riding. Lost those rose colored ones. Just ordered a polarized pair during Black Friday deal, but also ordered a rose lens in case I don't like the rose.

 

I am also trying the blue photochromatic this year.

 

Thanks for all the input.


I'll run clear at night for sure and probably try the rose for day.

 

I'd go with polarized. My old pair wasn't and on a all day ride it was very bright out and when I got about 10 miles from home my left side of my head started to hurt really bad behind my eye. When I went inside I noticed my eye would only open half way and that's it. Even if I made my eyes wide only my right eye lid worked right. Did that for a day before it went back to normal.

I run yellow lense now. My old pair was rose and I like both equally. I think rose did a better job seeing the terrain on a couldy day. But just by a little bit. I run mine at night with the yellow no problem. My rose pair I also used at night. I liked the yellow at night better

 

I swear the NOD's we wore all the time in the Army wrecked my night vision.

I wear mirrored really dark ones most of the time in the day. Rarely ride at night but always clear at night.

 

I have a pair of Aviators Black ops polarized. I have not had a chance to use them "a lot" but so far they are like a big pair of sunglasses. I find myself wearing sunglasses most of the time in the winter, so these goggles work for me. Others say they are too dark so its up for interpretation. The way I see it, if you would wear sunglasses these goggles will work. The polarized aspect, it does cut down on glare and is good for most of the reasons it's good in the summer. (except looking for fish ha ha)

 

For those of you that've run with the blue before....does it help with the shadows in the snow?

 

i have the yellow, rose, blue and clear. clear is a must have for night and i love the blue for day. you don't even realize its tinted. i do wear the rose a bunch and can't stand the yellow.

 

Does the polarized help at all during cloudy daytime riding?


I always wear sunglasses so that makes we want the polarized black ops. However, not sure how great those would be on cloudy days. Probably a rose or yellow would be better for cloudy days.


Damn, pretty much need 3 pairs of goggles. Clear for night, tinted for sunny days and colored for cloudy days.

 

I would not want smoke polarized on a cloudy day. Yellow, rose or even blue is better on cloudy days. The smoke can be pretty dark. The polarized part is just supposed to reduce glare.

 

The good part is you don't need 3 full goggle frames, you can buy just the lenses and swap them out. I know they aren't cheap!

 

Paul have you tried out the photochromatic ones?

 

I'm going to buy a new helmet and goggles tomorrow and I'm glad this thread came out. Sounds like Smoke Polarized for sunny days, Clear regular lens for at night, and either Clear, Yellow, or Rose non Polarized for grey cloudy days.

 

I think I'm going to run two pairs of goggles with 3 lenses. Clear for night. Smoked polarized for sunny day. Orange for cloudy days.

Need snow now.

just buy a 3rd pair of goggles. Changing out lenses is a pain, especially if it is real cold out.

 

I run with Polarized smoke by day and my yellow tint at night works good. I do this because I have never bought a the clear len. the yellow works good for head on traffic for me.

 

I tried the Black ops polarized and they sucked on anything but bright days. Now I just run clear all the time.

 

I used to run solely yellow until I got another pair with rose. Now the yellow is the backup and I almost always ride with my rose pair. I don't normally ride at night but if I get caught up at night the yellow will get me by. However I'd like to get a clear lens for those occasions as well.
