What the best all around lens for Crowbars?
One that would be good for bright sunny days and cloudy dark days?

i know you are technically supposed to use black iridium unless its sunny out but i used it all last season, even night skiing and it worked amazing. pink iridium seems pretty good all around too

Used the G30s in all kinds of conditions last year. Only time I found them not good at all was at night, with no lights in the woods :P

hi-persimmon is the best all around by far

blue iridium works pretty well also

the ideal is having 2 lenses, a black or fire irid and a hi-yellow. you'll get maximum visibility with that combo but it's a bitch to change them a lot when the weather's going nuts
