Hi you guys I’m looking to get some Oakley Splice goggles, and I need your view on the most all round lens tint – something that will work in cloudy to flat light and in the sun. I’m looking at

VR50, VR28, G30, Persimmon, Pink Iridium  

thanks

i find pink iridium to be the lens i wear almost everyday. even if its party cloudy ill wear it. only time i get out the black iridium is for days where i know there wont be a cloud in the sky all day.

I've used Black Iridium, Fire Iridium, Hi-Yellow, and Pink Iridium and find Pink to be the best all-around. I always have them on me, just in case the light changes. I use fire for the bright sunny days (got rid of Black and Hi-Yellow).

I have both of those lenses and I agree completely.  Pink iridium is awesome.

check out oakley.com. I remember when I was looking at oakley googles they had a lense simulator that would compare like pink iridium (or any other lense) to the naked eye. It would also let you know that what amount of light the lense is good for and the transperancy % and stuff like that. I have persimmon and while they are the cheapest and least flashy they work pretty well in flat light and they arnt so good in the sun.

I find the blue iridium to be a little better for during the day than the pink iridium, and about equal at night time.

I have tried many lenses and have found that pink iridium is probably the most versitile in my opinion.
