Best Ski Goggles for Flat light

Hi all, i currently use a HMR Helmet with a visor but still struggle a little with flat light conditions, ok when the sun is out the visor is great,, but if it clouds over a little I fail to see the bumps and ruts in the snow. Sometimes resort to having the visor up, the trouble is with that is when it's snowing it gets in my eyes... so I need something, but which type?

I don't really want to take several pairs of goggles out on the slope... does anyone know of a make of goggle that is a great in flat light? I'm think maybe uvex ? I have seen the uvex magic goggle that has a built in lcd screen which you push a button and the lens changes, sounds like a real gadget and a bit expensive.

Any thoughts?

For optical clarity, try Oakley. Best lens either, Persimmon, Yellow or Rose. Avoid mirror lenses for low light use, as they cut down on available light transmission. Always try goggles on with your helmet before buying, as a compatible fit is very important.

Thanks Bandit, I will hope to have a look around in Sol in a couple of weeks... I'm thinking (hoping) it will be cheaper than Verbia!

I have no personal experience of these but a chalet host that I recently met said he had Bolle Nova - Modulator lenses (reactolites). He said they were pretty good in sunny conditions and the best he's had for flat light. They are quite reasonably priced too.

Bandit said it Yellow or Persimmon are the best. I have Smiths and they seem to do the job...

I seem to be doing a lot of agreeing with Bandit today! :lol:

I've got Adidas do-dars with the oojimaflip lenses. They're amazing.
