Smith Sensor Lense?

So who has tried this lense out? I've heard it's rediculus in flatlight but I was wondering what people on here think of it. Is it really that much better than a rose lense like the Scott Amplifier or the Gold lense Anon uses? I ski in the NW where it's foggy about 80% of the time and I want the best lense I can get for flatlight and snowy conditions. Unfortunately none of the shops in my town have that lense so I can't try it for myself.

It is awesome. Get it for sure.

I ski in the PNW and it is perfect. It makes a huge difference over the RC36 and GL55.

The optics are as good as the Oakley HI Blue, which I had before, but smith goggles, for me, fit my more comfortably and look much better.

cheaper too.

The lens is even useable in some sun, as long as you aren't looking directly into the sun.

I love them and basically ski them everyday

ya man, sensor mirror is the sickest lense ever. Ive used it anywhere from bright spring days- to snowing- to night, and it kills it in all. So sick! I would marry it if i could.

Hmm i've been wondering about the sensor mirror as well. And i'm trying to decide between that and the red mirror, which looks really sick.

^Red mirror is for sunny clear days and the sensor is for flatlight and gray days.

yep.

only use my red mirror lens basically in CO, cause the PNW is never sunny.

Sensor mirror is a great lens.

If you want a more all around lens I really like the GL55, too. Better in low light than the RC36 but better in the sun that the Sensor Mirror
