Hi All,

OK - so perhaps already debated to death - if so please point me to those postings.

If not: I am looking for the details around what Goggles to get to IMPROVE visibility on the slopes in POOR light.

Sun is easy - you can see all the bumps.

But what about in SNOWY conditions - or late afternoon DUSK conditions?

Do I use a YELLOW, ORANGE, PINK GREEN, PURPLE lens?

Is there a goggle that works extremely well in both?

Is there such a thing as colour enhancing?

Anything to help me see the bumps!

Do I have to carry a second set with me on the slopes? (we normally go out for the HWOLE day - so might start in fantastic sunshine - but end in snowy/dull conditions).

Any help appreciated.

I have two lenses for mine which cover both sets of conditions. I just pop in the one which will suit the days forecast the best. If you go to the anon website they have a section that describes tints in detail.

Oakleys (choose your frame)with a Persimmon lens.

Found very good in low light and gives good definition.
