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

wasley, the mirrored coating is to reduce glare in bright sun. Low light goggles tend not to have this, presumably because it doesn't help. If you want goggles for low light, find some that are recommended for that purpose, try them on, and pick the coolest* pair that fits you.
*relative term, no accounting for taste, if in doubt consider how you would fall on Eddie Izzard's scale of "looking cool... looking pretty cool... looking like a d!ckhead..."

I bought some mirrored lens goggles for my recent trip to Austria. It snowed everyday and I thought they would be useless but I found them to be better than an alternative pair with a blue lens that I took. The goggles were Smith Phenom and the lens had a yellow tint to it.
Hope that helps

Bit like the middle-aged and overweight chap I saw on the mountain today, dressed head to toe in bright Scandi-coloured Sweet gear with skis to match the colours of his overly tight clothes.

Seriously, WTF is that all about? I saw one the other week, swear she was wearing everything two sizes too small. Do these people not have mirrors, or what?

Zero-G, i think he's local, if it's the chap I'm thinking of.

Zero-G, is Sweet gear not normally of the overly long and fairly baggy style(e)?

under a new name, bright blue and lime green colour scheme (both the skis and the outfit). Dragan goggles with what can only be described as a harlequin-patterned strap that would be well camouflaged in a bag of licorice all sorts.
rogg, Sweet is more for the tall and athletic shape (but think freeride rather than racer-tight). I think they also do a line in snowboarding gear that is baggier. I suppose their stuff would look baggy on shorter people.

I just bought a mirrored (s3) pair of 'cairn' brand (skiset had loads of their stuff). We had everything from seriously heavy snow to sunshine and was very happy with them in all conditions - E49.
