hey guys i need some help with goggle colors that i'm going to ride with this year. right now i'm riding with a clear oakley e frame...and yeah, i know, it sucks.

i have trouble seeing shadows and depth when i ride, especially when i'm in the woods and such. i was thinking a blue or pink iridum? but i have no idea haha. and i'm not all that sensitive to light. its just the afternoon when the lights aren't on and the sun is down. even in the shadow of the tree lines i can't see anything. thanks so much guys

Pink Iridium is a really good lens, especially when the light is really flat. I find it to be a little too light for when the sun fully comes out though. VR28 and blue iridium might also be good choices.

pink iridium is a great flat light lens, but may be a bit bright on sunny days, so you'd have to look into getting a second pair. 

also, you could look into going with a fully "night" lens, such as a hi-yellow or something.  would be an excellent lens for night riding then, but you certainly would have to have something else for daytime.

hi yellow will destroy for that low light shit. or hi persimmon, which is a killer do it all lense. pink iridium is real good in low light too. blue is, meh. a good all around lense if its the ONLY lense your gonna have, but kinda dark.

honestly id reccomend black irid. and then hi yellow/hi persimmon/pink iridum
