I've got a pair of Oakley A Frames with the Fire tinted lense, but i've been having problems with flat light and I'm thinking about buying a pair of flat light goggles.  Anyone know a good pair of goggles for flat light/poor lighting conditions?

For the A-frames, check out the high-intensity blue lens, i found that really good for flat light/overcast conditions.

And sorry if you wanted new goggles, but you can always just replace the lense...

Hi-intensity yellow or pink iridium should do the trick.

ya, i'm just gonna buy new goggles cuz the frames on the A Frames are getting pretty beat up, padding is kinda warping and stuff.  Phenoms good for this stuff?

it has nothing to do with the goggle, it's the lense that makes the light difference. Get something with a clearer lense if you want to see.

Relax. All you needed to ask was what companies offer a good range of flat light lenses. Asking if the phenom is good for flat light is just stupid, you should be checking out what lenses smith offers that work well in flat light(permission) and work with the phenom, then ask around about that type of specific lens.

k, well thanks for giving me a name brand guys.  Looking for words like "Oakley, Smith, Spy" not "everyone makes flat light lenses."  I know there are some differences between the companies and what they produce.  If you're just going to say "everyone makes flat light lenses" stop posting on my thread

How about you stop being a lazy bastard and search on their websites rather than waste our time by posting useless shit and getting pissed at others for trying to help.

you don't have to post. i'm just saying there's a lot of people on ns that like to help others out with what they're gonna buy so if you don't wanna help me out thats completely fine with me.  I just know that some people have certain preferences that they have when it comes to buying gear.  I have a friend who only buys spy goggles for some reason.  I really don't care if you post or not, just if you do, try and answer the question i'm asking which is

"What goggle's do you prefer for flat light situations"

its not the goggles you dumbass its the lenses! no 'goggle' will make better flat light, just decide what frames you like, then order that with some flat light lenses- for example- clear, permission, hi intensity blue or yellow, pink iridium, that kinda stuff. the lighter stuff.

i would stay away from anything that has iridium or is called mirror or whatever. that usuallly helps block the sun a bit, so look for a hi intensity yellow, or even the persimmon. those usually get the job dunzo.
