I always wear either clear lenses or the Oakley hi-yellow, and both work fine. I never had issues with seeing subtleties in the snow surface except in the dark shadows and no lenses are going to help with that. The light at night isn't really "flat" light, so I find it easier to see than on overcast, flat-light days.

 

Yellow or clear

 

Clear for night riding if you want to see in the shadows. Smith has a cheap pair ($30 on sale) I wear just for night. I have several lens, 2 yellow, and clear is best for night riding. My clear is much better at night than the storm sensor yellow which is a phenomenonal low light lens. Doesn't beat clear at night though. I see so many people with googles on their head at night, presumably because they can't see.

 

Hi Pink trashes the Rose at night riding. My friend was suffering with the Rose and since he got the Hi Pink he is fully happy with them.

Smith Yellow Storm I use, Anon/Giro Infrared I used to own and some Spy Green Happy Lens I’ve tried are also excellent.
But clears seem to be the way to go (I’ve tried the clear Oakley and for night riding it was excellent).

 

Thanks, I just got a pair of Oakley Flight Deck M with Hi Intensity Pink. Going to try those in the evening today and see how it goes. I like having a tiny bit of color for better contrast.

I find all the lens colors really confusing, Oakley even has a Prizm Clear lens, which is "almost" clear but with a slight shade of pink. In addition, a normal clear lens which must be bought separately and those are a bit expensive.

I really would like to try a pair of Smith goggles, but the colors even here are confusing. I cannot figure out which two lenses you get when ordering a pair and I am not sure about the models for my medium face, but maybe one of the MAG models. I think it would be nice with a ChromaPop Storm Yellow Flash, it has a 65% VLT. I really miss having a yellow lens, sold my older goggles

 

Look at the VLT% and pick a color that you like. Some prefer different background colors. I have an amber and green 55vlt% lens and prefer the green when needed. Yellow in flat-low light and clear at night. Gotta have a rainbow of colors to offer the masses! Don't get stuck on color, VLT% is more important. Amber can range from 30% to over 70%VLT, depends on the lens.

 

Good advice there @Snowmn. I have been looking at the description for Smith goggles, and they are better than I thought about what is included and the VLT.

Just got my hi intensity pink flight decks, and they worked pretty well in the evening with yellow lighting. Even in a snowfall at the end. I will however try go get a clear lens too, and I still miss a yellow one
