Just received some money from Christmas so I'm looking to buy new crowbars.

I ski about 70% day/sunny and 30% night. I know persimmon is a very middle of the spectrum lense, but how does it hold up in light? All recommendations are appreciated.

Happy Holidays

Blue iridium or but not sure how it would be at night.

VR50 might not be enough for really bright days depending on how sensitive your eyes are to light.

What about saving a little extra money and getting a day and a night lens?

I use black iridium and they're fine for the night, but not THE best. i just dont ski in the night too much. for everything, gold iridium, pink iridium, blue iridium, persimmon, and high intensity persimmon are supposed to be pretty good.

If I were to go the route of two lenses what are good sun lenses and night lenses. I hear alot about black irid for sunny days and HI yellow for night. What else do you guys think

hes looking at oakley buddy not smith.
Saying that If i were you i would look into Smith goggles. I/o's are very nice in my experience and they come with two lenses. One for night and one for day. But they cost a pretty penny too.

Look into the Dark Grey lens. Because according to frenchy... dark grey will work at night too. But I have no idea because i havent used it yet.
