 Poster: A snowHead

Ok have splashed out on a pair of these as will be wearing goggles all the time from now on (for skiing before any comments  )
I chose pink iridium for its potential benefits in low light as well as bright sunlight. They fit well. I have also bought a pair of Smiths black iridium which fit even better but obviously won't be so good in low light.
Does anyone have any particular thoughts on pink iridium please? One pair needs to go back.

I have Crowbars with the Pink Iridium lens and it is useable in all light conditions but I would avoid it in super bright light, I have Black Iridium for that. I also used goggles with H.I Yellow lenses last season and found the P.I nearly as good in low/flat light conditions.
Is keeping both pairs not an option? You know it is the right thing to do

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I've just bought Stockholms with Persimmon lenses in the hope they'll be good in low light and be a good general purpose lens.

I find the persimmon uncomfortable on bright days, had them too  Some people get on OK though...

Lou, so are you really going to sit on the terrace supping hot chocolate & vin chaud in the goggles? Thought not! Those eyes need good UV protection at those times too 
Oh - and why not just "forget" to return one pair of gogs? Can I be nosey and ask where you got yours? Mine were £56 inc p&p from a sunnies shop in Leeds, delivered next day.

Keep the Smiths & get some spare lenses. Smith are far superior goggles to Oakley.

Changing lenses is such a faff and BTW you've got that the wrong way round. Tried allsorts, splashed out on some Wisdom's last year, they're so good I recently bought another pair with Hi yellow lense.

Kel, Well i've never found it that much trouble swapping lenses.
As to Oakley's being superior to Smith's i for one would don't believe that one iota. In my opinion & i've owned lots of different goggles smith's are far superior to any other brand of goggles. This is especially true at the medium price point. In the £30-60 range they're far superior to anything else on the market.

I'm probably way too late to answer, but I have the pink iridium lenses and they're great in flat light, but I'd prefer something darker on a sunny day.
