The High Intensity Blue lens is the best Ever low light lens. You can like see in the dark with it. Between that and a black iridium you'll be set no matter what.

sorry to thread jack, but how easy is it to switch oakleys lenses out instead of buying another set of frames?

The new Smith Sensor Mirror, pretty much the same thing as the HI blue, are awesome in low light. I've used it the last couple days and have been impressed. I like smiths a lot better anyway.

definately easy, but if you are gonna get new lenses anyway you should def spend a little more and get the high intensity blues, they make shadows that your eyes couldn't normally see

Ya, I had HI blues on my wisdoms last year and they were amazing but were really bright on sunny days but I didn't bother getting darker lenses because I only went skiing in day light like 5 times. I'm also thinking about getting smith's w/ sensors because I don't like the fit of my wisdoms any more. The sensors are also pretty much just like the hi blues except they have a little more orange in them. If you don't want to spend alot get the sensors, but if you have enough money get oakley's w/ the hi blue.

agreed, i prefer the persimmon (light-yellow) for low light and night skiing. And considering it's the only lens I have for my blizzards they work well during the day too.

It all depends what brand you have though. Some brands make darker and lighter persimmon. My one friend has them and he rides alot at night and has trouble seeing sometimes.
