There are a ton of threads on this...but

I really prefer my Pink Iridium as the best all around lens. It does a decent job in the bright sun, and does just as well at night in my opinion. The mirror is great as well, not too much, but not too little.

Best all around lens ever.  I used mine closing weekend at Mammoth.  Top of the mountain was a thick fog, bottom was super bright.  I could see perfectly at the top and it kept the light down at the bottom.  I will be using Blur Iridium many more times, it is a dope more unique looking lens too.

Fire iridium is a pretty dark lens, mainly used for bright days,sucks pretty much anytime else.

My favourites would have to be Gold Iridium and Hi-Intensity Yellow. Gold for sunny days to somewhat bright days, and the Hi yellow is perfect from overcast to night time.

It's for super sunny days, so basically any other lens would be more well rounded. Except for clear and maybe H.I. yellow. Those are meant for the dark days/night...

And I love my emerald for all around. It's amazing. It's almost identical to the blue irid, just different colour I think. Same light transmission.

Probably not but it'll be damn dark. Definitely not what it was designed for, but your eyes will get used to anything.

i would prob say emerald ird blue ird for irdium lens but hi yellow and g30 are pretty sick too even though no one has them and also vr28 and pink ird is almost like a clear lens when you look thorugh it. get a lens that goes with your cbars so depending on your cbars i would get one of those
