Hi!

I have new dr zipes goggles thats lens some idiot russian guy broke with his skis coming out of the gondol. So i haven't tested anywhere else than in spring.
I'm now buyin new lens and what color would work best?
I ski pretty much all winter on low light and flatlight conditions, but in the spring in very bright. So is there any all-around lens or should i buy two lenses bc they're on sale now?

The options are: clear, yellow, orange, pink, semi mirror(i have now), polarized brown

Hmm I'd go with the orange if you're skiing mostly lowlight, but the semi-mirrored would still be good if you need it for sunny days. The brown lens would probably be too dark

I used an orange/amber lens all last season and I could see fine for just about every condition except at night.

an orange, yellow or brown lens would be the go. they are able to be used in all weather conditions, however, there isnt one lens which is perfect. i personally like orange. although if you ski mostly low light days, maybe something like a yellow lens would be the go.

I use a clear for night/lowlight, a yellow for the same reason, then a chrome for them sunny days. But in reality I have prolly 10 pairs of goggles with at least 20 lenses from over the years. So I have pretty much every color lense
