If it is your only lense I would not suggest it, great during the bluebird sun but after that it kinda falls short.

It's not a fucking welding mask. It's obviously a dark lens for sunny days. Not hard to understand.

if its going to be your only lens it would be okay but its great for sunny and overcast days but nights and those darker days you cant see shit. all around good lens though :)

How is it an 'all around good lens' if you can't see shit on nights or darker days?

OP: get the dark grey lens if all you do is ski bluebird park and mug for photos and GoPro footage. If you do anything else, you'll want to consider something a bit more versatile, or 2 lenses.

pink iridium is the best all around. fire is actually darker than dark grey but yeah, dark grey is not a good lens if its your only one. otherwise its sick on sunny days.

Dark gray and Pink iridium. Generally though dark gray does good in most.

This. I find myself picking my Dark Gray over the Pink and my H/I Yellow when really needed.

I have super sensitive eyes and am perfectly comfortable in most light conditions with the Dark Gray.

I've got the Dark Grey, it's nice for sunny days. For everything else I use HI Persimmon.
