Ride R Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 So, I have a few pair of goggles with mainly amber lenses of some degree and need something for riding in flat light. I've searched around and lots of people say use yellow lenses but i feel like they make conditions worse for me. i want something that will bring out depth more. I have a Pair of Anon Realms that i'd be swapping lenses with. What would you guys recommend or use for very flat light conditions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PyROTech Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 i find b/c of it being to bright over the course of the day i cant tell the depth/ridges/bumps later on. So i prefer a dark tint. Some people use red, tried that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMK33 Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 I have blue iridium lenses in my A frames, work well in all lights id say. Clear lenses that you could swap out easily would be your best but, but those are ghey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride R Posted December 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 The problem with the clears i find is that even though it's flat light and cloudy the reflection off the snow still screws me up, i kinda see little sparkles and junk lol. I tried darker tint but it just doesn't help. Maybe my eyes just suck and I just gotta deal with it. I was thinking of trying one of those pinks as i've heard some good things about them. Gotta run to the store this week and try and sort this all out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PyROTech Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 rainbow. cuz its cool and i predicted the -1's even before it started.

Gotta run to the store this week and try and sort this all out. Try rose colored, and polarized if you can find it. ya, pink, rose, red is what i ment. Some people swear by them now. Im gonna try them this year, but im still gonna do the extreme dark tint so i dont go blind for the rest of the time. I have a pic floating on VS of me at the top of breckenridge wearing the blue vs shirt (looks a bit odd since im wearing over my gear). I saw the east coast ski/board thing, actually looks like a really good idea. Only thing is that i need insurance outside of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikS Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Lot of snowboarding in snowy Texas, huh? I lived in Washington State most my life, been skiing/snowboarding since I was six, and have been to probably 30 different mountains. A polarized rose lens is great for flat light conditions.
