Out of those I would go H.I Yellow, but if you want another option check out Ruby Clear, Great lens for all around skiing and they have a sick iridium coating that makes them look like a fire lens. Great visibility at night also

Out of those go high yellow. If you want all night get clear. My high yellow is great in all conditions.

i use regular persimmon all the time. works great under the lights and during the day. i'd imagine hi persimmon is as good. get the one with the most light transmission. but since everyone is concerned about having their faces seen, try the ruby clear.

If this lens is going to be just straight night skiing, then clear lens for sure. Definitely the money.

I love my pink iris lens for night skiing, I dislike the hi-yellow because it distorts the colors, I like that the pink iris is basically clear

I have an HI yellow and i've worn it all winter, even on bluebird days i would occasionally wear them...

+ at night strangely enough, i can hardly see any difference in brightness between goggles/no goggles, so it'd be excellent for night skiing ....

cant vouch for any other lenses, but the HI yellow is definately my best lense so far....

bright, i can wear em on a bluebird day, but if you have sensitive eyes, they might be a bit too bright on the sunniest days...
