mine are great in the day but at night they're not the best. im looking for a pink iridium lense but i might just end up buying an entirely new pair for night. i'd rather have the lense though.

trade in the black irid lense, and get a vr28 lense. its soo sick, in sunlight it looks tinted, you cant see your eyes, its soo good in sunlight, soo good in cloudy weather, soo good at night. cant go wrong. or if you want keep the black irid lense, and get like a clear lense for night skiing or a vr28 for night skiing and cloudyness.

If you use like a little bit less, and spell so correctly, people might think you know what you are talking about.
