Ok so I know there are probably a ton of threads about this but no one every titles stuff right which makes finding threads a bitch so...

What is the best night and flat/low light lense that Oakley makes (I guess I'm open to other companies as long as the lense works good in those conditions)? HI Perminision? Hi Yellow? Regular yellow/perminision? I've heard Pink Iridium. Someone help me out. And I have a pair of wisdoms with fire iridium lenses which work great for bright conditions, but it gets dark in Alaska.

Thanks

pink and hi yellow are similar.
pink is pretty much a clear lens with and iridium coating - good for cloudy days
yellow is a lens that instensifies everything. - good for night
persimmon is more of a do everything lens. does ok in everything but doesnt do great in one specific thing

I'd go for pink for cloudy/fog and clear for night. For all around though, I say pink.

Clear is better in my opinion. Less distortion.

I use a fire lense for day and sunny

and a hi yellow lense for night and overcast.  Hi yellow is amazing, buy it and you will never look back.

if you are mainly going to be riding birch this year then get come clear lenses. they are much better then the yellow lenses because the lighting at birch is that weird yellow light. so it makes you see a mind-numbing amount of yellow.
