I am going to get some new goggles this season. Is any lens pigmentation better than the other? I was thinking about going with clear lenses. I currenlty have orange lenses and they make it difficult to see the defenition of the snow.

Get mirrored goggles for that daytime (they look awesome) and get some very lightly tinted goggles for night. Most companies make a light yellow, which rule for night skiing and look cooler than goggles with clear lenses.

the yellow/orange lenses are better on foggy days, because they increase contrasts.

but i had mirrored lenses all last year and wasnt having any problems even on foggy days and days where it was snowing.

and they look so much better.

Well if you want lenses to show definition of the snow better on not so bright days... hi-intensity blue lenses from oakley work nicely. Otherwise persimmon or pink are sweet. I used to have iridium fire lenses that were bad ass.

Oakley's high-intensity blue lenses actually let in more light than their clear lenses. If you get oakleys, get HI blue.
