Default Goggle Lenses

Hi guys,

I'm looking into buying some new A frames, but i cant decide what lens to get. I really need a versatile lens because i will be riding all day in various light conditions. Also, if they look cool thats a bonus

persimmon has the most range of the oakley lenses. it's really made for cloud cover days, but i have used em at night and in cloudless sunny days. getting two different lenses is really the way to go though.

probably blue iridium. fire iridium looks sweet, and is a sunny lens, but blocks too much light for my taste.

If you go with an exclusive night time lens I prefer the yellow or amber. A lot of people like clear and the persimons really seems to give good contrast for night lighting.

I have a high intensity yellow for overcast days but they also work really well under the lights at night. I use fire iridium for sunny bluebird days but they tend to loose definition later on in the day when you are riding in more shadowed areas.
