Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

goggles again
 Poster: A snowHead

i'm looking to buy some goggles mostly for use in flat light & misty conditions. I've talked about this before on here & had some recommendations, e.g. oakley hi-bue, carerra kimerick.. I believe these both have yellow lenses.
Carerra also do goggles with a blue lens. Has anyone tried a blue lens & a yellow lens & if so, which did you find best?

riverwhy, it kinda depends on your eyes. I find the yellow lenses better, but some people prefer the blue.

If you are going to buy from a shop, ask them to let you go outside with them on - shop lighting really doesn't let you see the difference too well due to the colour temperature of their lights.

ok - i missed out on the blue lens Carerras (ebay) so am now looking at Oakleys with a HI yellow lens.
any opinions on whether an iridium lens or polarised would be best in flat light/poor vis. ?
(what's the difference?)

Pretty sure you can't get H.I (High Intensity) lenses in Iridium or Polarised.. All three are different types of lens aimed at doing different jobs.

(edit - the difference is, iridium gives you a coloured reflective lens thats slightly darker, polarized reduces glare and H.I lets more light in so you have better vis in bad conditions)

there are some polarised HI on this page (scroll down to the oakley polarised)

i agree it seems odd as polarised blocks light, whereas i'd assume HI lets it in. all to do with different light spectrums i guess...
