i have persimmon lenses and they are ok in the dark, but i think that clear will be much better because, uh, its clear.

I myself use persimmon at night and it does the job. I recommend clear though, it would be much better.

Smith Sensor lens works really well. It was my all-day-all-night lens in Japan.

Although clear is probably better.

Between permission or clear I'd go clear, but I went for the HI-yellow for cloudy days/nights and it's perfect.

Clear.


Also, there is no such thing as a "permission" lens as every single person in this thread called it, it is persimmon. …

i have persimmon as my only lens in NJ. places are lit at night so it's kind of dark but it's fine at night. It's hardly ever bright enough to necessitate a darker lens anyway unless you just want to look cool then have to change or take you goggles off at night.

Fire iridium or dark grey. Just in case the sun rises all of a sudden.
