Bought crowbars with fire iridium, but would like lens for the cloudy/overcast/snow days

Basically have a choice between VR28 and Persimmon , both for the same price (also can choose dark grey but that prob wont work for cloudy days)

the one thats lets the most light in; persimmon. i use persimmon as my only lens and I ski in NJ. in fact, i'm in colorado right now and it was a bright sunny day and it's still perfectly fine.

I haven't used either one, but from the oakley website permission would be better for you (for flat/low light). But if you're willing to pay a bit more, pink iridium is an sweet lens for overcast days.

yeah a lot of people use the fire/ pink combo for the best all around 2 lens setup.

vr28 would not be good for low or flat light conditions. Like everyone else already said, persimmon or pink iridium if you have the money. Ruby clear and HI Yellow are also great for low light if you don't like pink.

ok, would I be able to deal with fire iridium for an hour or so when the sun set?

Maybe if you have sensitive eyes, but the fire iridium is one of the darkest lenses Oakley makes. It's pretty much all personal preference.
