So I'm on the hunt for new goggles and I really want murdered out black on black goggles. I found some Anon Hawkeye's that are all black but I'm curious are the Anon dark smoke lenses truly black? And post up any all black goggles if you know of any or where I could find real dark black lenses.

I've seen the new Smith black lens in person, it looks dope as hell and it really is very black, BUT it has something like 7% VLT, which, if memory serves, is the same rating as astronaut's visors. So if you want to stare directly at the sun for a couple of hours they're great, but I suspect that if the light is anything but burning bright you'll have trouble seeing anything. But it won't matter, as long as you look thugggggg.

Well yeah I will probably get another pair of lenses as well for low light and shot but for bright days rather than having fire or something I think black on black will look dope. Has anyone seen the Anon dark smoke in person? Because I found some for $60.

Black out is 17% I believe. Gold sol x is still darker. I had the blackout in my IOX for a few weeks this winter and it's a really nice lens for those sunny days. also to OP the IOX and IO come with 2 lenses, a sunny day and all purpose lens so you won't need to worry about that.
