i am looking for a lens that does well with blocking out the sun and blinding you on sunny days. Right now i have high intensity blue lenses and they dont do shit on sunny days. What do you think is a good lens for sunny days?

yeah i have some right now and i love them, fire iridium is good but it doesnt block out as much sun and the lense scratches easier

if you really wanna get high tech about it you can go to oakley.com and look at replacement lenses, it should say how much light they let in, if you want one for sun, anything below 20% should work well

i have blue iridium and that keeps me from getting blind on sunny days just fine

Just like Julie said the Blue Iridium is one of the nicest all around lenses you can get. The HI Blue which you have is made for low visibility days only. That google actually lets in more light than a clear lense does. That is why it gives you eye fatigue on sunny days. The best low light lense on the market though

Fire is great for sunny days I agree, it lets in the least amount of light. If your in Cali and getting 300 days of sun that is the most popular lense that we sold at Mammoth. Blue Iridium for the guys who wanted an all around lense.

The reason your high intensity blue are so good at night is because it allows the blue light, which is promenent at night and in cloudy weather, to come trhough the lense allowing you to see. That is why the HI Blue (different from Blue Iridium) is the best lense for overcast/night skiing. I do a lot of night skiing being from the East and there is no other lense I would rather use. I went out with the Scott rep to try out there new Green night lense and then let him try my oakley's with the HI Blue and he was shocked at how well the Oakleys worked at night.
