Clear lenses are the best investment I have made. I fought to find the perfect night lenses for years. Clear is cheap and will never let you down.

It’s not bad for night skiing. It’s the second best all around lense I’ve found (oakleys pink iridium is the best). I have 3 frames for my squad XLs and I usually keep these, a clear, and the mirrored green all ready to go.

Clear is by far the best. However I rocked Oakley fire lenses night skiing when I was a grom and lived to tell about it.

Dissenting opinion. Clear is shit. Yellow and sometimes Oakley Prizm pink.

Disclaimer: I only night ski when it's storming.
