im lookin for a clear soldier lens, or none at all but yes mirrored would very much so make it for sunnier days, not night skiing

I have some cheap smith's with blue lenses and they work great at night. I'd rather use my crowbars, but then again, I'd rather be able to see.

I personally won't deviate from Smith I/Os with the Sensor Mirror lens for night.  Picks up everything great and I never feel like its too dark.

I've also used the Oakley High Intensity Yellow and its great too, most other ones I've used compared to them suck.

You're not that far off base.

Spy has an awesome blue lens for night skiing IMO. It's not made for it but I can see so much better using it. I can't remember what it's called though.

check this. I know it isn't made for low light but it works surprisingly well.

^^not even noticeable on your face

i use crowbars with clear lenses, my race team practices every day at night on a badly lit hill and i've tried different lenses and clear is by far the best for night time

High Intensity Blue is what it was called for a while, now known commonly as High Intensity Yellow.  Fantastic lens, the best for low light and night skiing.
