Anyone have any experience with tinted lenses? I have always used clear ones until now, except for a dark grey one that I used in very bright conditions. Basically I'm looking for two lenses for these situations:
-Wintertime in Europe. The tracks are overcast at all times, and most of the time, the dirt (or sand I should say) is super dark, nearly black. Obviously I'd like something to brighten things up and show more vivid colours and more contrast.
-Summertime, late in the afternoon when the sun is pretty low, directly in your eyes, and the dirt is super bright. Can't see shit captain.
I am using Oakley Crowbar, Proven and O-frame goggles. (mostly Proven).
Thanks.

For really bright days, especially when there are standing water puddles, I like mirrored lenses of any variation. Oakley makes several versions if I remember correctly.
Rock on, man! How's that gear treating you?
I'll look into some blue and mirrored lenses. If i remember correctly, when they held the Lakewood National at night, a lot of the pros were running yellow lenses, although i can't really figure out which oakley lens that would be.
The One Defcon gear is BY FAR the best gear I have ever had. I used to swear by Thor Core/Flux but the Defcon blows it away on all fronts. I am planning my next trip over for september or october of next year and I am already saving up the bring home a bunch of '14 gear, haha!
As for the yellow lenses, they do about what blue does, at least to my eyes - both colors cut down contrast. That way, you can see into the shadows a little better. Once your eyes adjust, the overall sensation is that there is more light to see with. Yellow simply shifts the light toward the red end of the spectrum, and blue shifts toward UV. There are probably some optical geniuses on here who can explain/ recommend better than I. In fact, the guys at Oakley would be a great resource if you can get hold of anyone over there.

In the Winter ''when its not raining in Europe' the sun can be very low and in your eyes.
The outside of the lens we have a multi layer mirror (this one we call Fire) and from the inside its a blue tint which enhances the dark track from the shadows of the low sun.
