carvin29 Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I'll be in CO in a couple weeks- I have a new pair of Goggles with HI Yellow lenses I'd like to wear but worry it might get too bright. Interested to hear opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Bird Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 It is getting bright. I find that an orange lens is my preference, great definition in the shadows and enough shade to keep the eyes from hurting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshack Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I wore HI blue or yellows, I'm not sure which, on a bluebird day last Saturday. It was brighter than I'd prefer, but not lethal. I definitely found myself squinting occasionally. The HI's, I think, have an 83% VLT. The 70% VLT smith Sensor Mirror lenses are cheaper and more versatile as far as low-light goggles go, I think. I see a bunch of patrollers use them, whether it's blue skies or completely overcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I find they get kinda bright on a bluebird day when you are on the chair, however if you can look at anything other than snow and sky (trees, a valley that isn't snow covered, etc) you should be fine.

D-Sub Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I had lasik a few years ago and my eyes are a little sensitive to light. Can not do yellow lenses on a clear day. Even orange is slightly pushing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually just look at the trees or close my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derf Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I don't know for snowboarding, but I whore my HI yellow while cycling on a sunny day, and it is very bright, almost like no glasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
