well a iridum lense like fire looks sweet and is good for bright, sunny days. Alltho if you wear them on a cloudy day you wont be able to see anything. A lense like a hi yellow or blue are really good for low light days but on a bright day they suck. With oakley to truly cover all bases you need at least 2 lenses.

I'd get the fire lens if you have the money it works for everything and looks sick

I'm going to have to back the first guy and go with the multiple lens. I've expiremented and used a few pairs of goggles. the fire tine though looks slick and sexy and makes wicked great eyes shades in the sun I find that some times during night skiing I can't see crap and it's worse when it snow pretty heavy.
I would recomended by a set of goggles regardless of brand with good quality that comes with multiple sets of lenses.

I was really going to buy a Wisdom Jet Black with Fire Iridium lens because it looks really cool but now I don't know.

If I get another brand besides Oakley what you recommend..??

I really want something that I can use all day long not just on sunny days.

if you want 1 lense to do everything, stick with the plain old persimmons. it isnt spectacular, but it does an alrighrt job. i would HIGHLY reccomend getting multiple lenses. the fires are a great lense, and killer for sunny days. the hi yellow is prolly the best low light lense available (mind blowing clairity on flatlight days).


also, just an FYI, i have a pair of very very lightly used SPY pop art Blizzards, with a chrome/brown lenzse, a brown lense, a persimmons, and a yellow lense, all in mint or ne ar mint condition. im looking to get rid of them. hit me up if your interested, well figure something out.

Look into some Electric EG1's, buy the ones with the mirror/chrome lenses so they send you the free extra lens.

mirrored would be good for sunny days, high intensity would be good for all around stuff i think, if youre gonna be skiing all day long you should wear the high intensity
