Goggles for night boarding? - Snowboarding Forum

Do you guys wear your goggles for night boarding? Just wondering because I tried wearing my Spy Soldiers with a bronze tint, and it made the trail look alot darker than it should. I'm wondering if you guys recommend buying some goggles with a clear lens, like spy goggles made for MX, or if that's just a waste of money.

Clear or Yellow works best at night. DEFINATELY no bronze or any other darker tints. I pop some yellow lenses in my Oakley A Frames for night boarding.

I usually don't wear goggles @ night unless it's windy or actually snowing but the yellow ones are the ones to rock!

Hey, thanks for the reply. I was gonna go out and buy those Spy alloys they have on spyoptic so I wouldnt have to switch the lense out, but I'm starting messing with the lense on my Spy Soldiers, and it's not that hard to pull out. But since I bought these googles off WM, the prices for lenses seem to be the same as the price of the goggles, hehe. Do you guys recommend any sites that sell lenses?

carne_asada - Yea, I've tried riding without goggles at night, but since I'm still pretty new, I face planted, and ice on the face is a nasty feeling, hehe. So I'm more comfortable with riding with something covering my eyes.
