New lens for the 2010/11 season! Pretty stoked on it.. nice price and looks good for blue bird days. Any thoughts?

I would go with hi persimmon or hi yellow over clear because theres still days that you want a little bit of tint but not a ton.

Less mirrored, it isn't an iridium and the regular grey is about as flat as possible.

How about you just take a picture from the inside without flash and have the sun kinda facing one side more than the other so you can see the difference.

Even then its still just a picture. Wearing them would look completely different

they look alright. Can you see pretty well with them or are they just insanely dark?

not sure, havent worn em on a mountain yet...   but. i think it owuld be a little difficult to see with a lot of overcast, prob go w a diff lens.    but then again this is 40 bux so not a huge investment for a bluebird day

Thats grey polarized. I'm not sure why someone who gets their goggles for free would take dark grey over grey polarized, but someone brought up dumont earlier too. haha

im pretty sure they are the dark grey, cuz i have de grey polarized and they didnt look like them.
i think he is using them because they have less light trassmision than the grey polarized, and to show people the new lenses

I think I would use the lens that kept harmful rays from my eyes, if it was for free. Tanner Hall doesn't use the "clear" lens when he was competing in the pipe under the lights. He probably used the "ruby clear" lens, which is twice as expensive.

Let's end this conversation.

They look pretty similar from what I've seen but from the inside I'll bet theres no comparison.
