Saw a nice deal on Scott Fixes with and I can choose between gold and black chrome lenses. I'm looking for a new goggle for those super sunny days so I want a dark one with preferably a lens that doesn't show my eyes.
Which of the two is darker and which one doesn't show my eyes?

I have the gold chrome lens, and it still lets a lot of light through, I'm not sure but I think that the black chrome is darker. The gold chrome still show your eyes a bit, but not much.

I could tell you what I personally think is the darker lens, but that won't help you much without real pictures. Send me a message tomorrow and I can take pictures of each lens for you to help make your decision. Either that or you can go to a shop and see the tints yourself for any Scott goggle.

This just shows the true color of the lens. The lenses will pretty much never show this much light through them if you're wearing the goggle.

I didn't have any Gold Chrome lenses to take pictures of at the time, but they're similar to the silver chrome, just a bit less mirrored (from what I've seen). As you can see they're all really dark and shouldn't show your eyes on brighter days. Hope this helps.
