Hi guys, I bought a pair of Smith I/O last year after having eye surgery. I love the goggles, especially with two lenses, but thought they didn't cut the bright sun enough for my taste (could have been that I was boarding 1 month after surgery and was a more sensitive to the light than usual). My goggles came with Platinum Mirror (25% VLT - bright) and Sensor Mirror (70% VLT - cloudy). I was thinking of picking up another lens. What color lens would you recommend for the best bright day performance?

Gold Sol-X (7% VLT) - - sounds frighteningly dark.
Red Sol-X (17% VLT)
Green Sol-x (15% VLT)
Polarized Rose Copper (25% VLT) - Not sure these are worth $100 or that I really care for polarized goggles.

I think these are all brown tinted on the inside.

Anyway, what would you choose for VLT for sunshine?

Go red or green sol-x. I have both and they work great. Green looks cooler :P

anything lower then 25% will be more then enough for bright conditions so you could really go for any one of those. i would just go with whatever color you think looks the coolest or goes with your goggles/gear the best. i have the golds and they are pretty sweet but wanna get the green ones too.

I've had the Green and Red Sol-X, and both are great in bright sun. The view out is more or less a flip flop of the mirror tint. The green gave me more of a brown/amber tint to everything, and the red gave everything a more green/natural tint. I preferred the red for that reason.

Had the red in mine and they worked great, problem is you dont get that many bright days in Michigan haha

Or mountains to snowboard on . I only ski in Michigan once or twice per year.

Although, there is a bunny hill near by and I joined a ski race league for the winter.
