Which lense is going to be best for all around. I know black is the darkest im really just debating between blue or pink iridium. Is blue waaaay to dark for days when its dumping? or is pink waaay to light for sunny days.
 
i'd say pink is best all around, black is super dark and unreal in the sun, blue is a little lighter but still pretty dark, and pink is the persimmon of iridium lenses except it doesn't suck, it's just good all around, but i would recommend 2 lenses, a black iridium and a hi yellow or hi persimmon
 
yeah but id rather have a lense that works well in the sun and decently in the clouds than one thats good in low light but awful in the sun
 
its just a bit dark, definition isn't a problem unless its really flat and pink doesnt do much in flat light either
 
ok sorta leaning towards blue then. anyone think that pink would be better and want to give me there side? or back up sphere?
 
i got HI Yellow A frames, and need another pair of lense for my crowbars, which i would wear more, live in VT barely ever sunny so would i got pink or blue, i get mixed messages of pink and then blue
 
blue may seem a bit dark on snowy days but its orange so u still got good perseption

pink i feel is just a clear lens with a light pink tint...i think u can imagine what thats like on sunny days

if u can get your hands on a high intensity perssimon id say its the best...lighter then blue iridium

i think its the TRUE do it all lens
 
yes, jon speaks the truth
i used a hi-persimmon all this year and it is ridiculous in everything
sick in flat light-no visibility and great in the sun also, get that for everything
 
pink is good for everything except really bright light. if your usually riding in bright conditions id say get blue because im always squinting with my pink irid
 
yes, imagine how the hi yellow has that coating of blue iridium, its just like that but the base lens's is persimmon(orange) instead of yellow. its a really nice lens. i have pink irid and i cant figure out why its so talked about, b/c to be honest its pretty much just a clear len's that looks cool like if you look at an image w/ the lens on and look at it w/ them off and it would be pretty close to the same just a little darker, and im talking like 2% darker. i had a blue irid and it was awsome everywhere, and i did wear it on litterally the heaviest snow iv ever seen in my life, there was about 15ft visibilty and wind like a hurricane and dumping some insane utah powder and i couldn't see that great(but then on a day like that no1 did) but the blue irid held up much better then expected then, and on sunny days they just are nice b/c they block out plenty of light but not to dark if some clouds roll in. to be honest they'r my favorite lens and i wish i hadnt sold mine to buy pink irid but i'm sure i'll end up selling that to buy back the blue irid or trade pink for blue. hope that long ass post helped.
 
what do u mean by mirrored?

mirrored like if someone looked at you they cant c ur eyes or mirrored in that if u look at it u c more then one color?

if its the mirrored in that ur eyes cant be seen then no...none of the lenses you have stated are completely mirrored thou pink and black are slight mirrored and blue and high perssimon are not

if ur wondering if theres more then one color seen on the outside then yes they all do
 
wtf? like none of that is right. black irid is a mirror.... blue irid is more mirrored then black, and most of the time people cant see your eyese when your wearing pink irid. HI persimmon does have an irridium coading so in cloudy weather there are times where you cant see the persons eyes but most of the time you can...
 
yeah, iv worn most of the lens's on the mountain. and currently have pink and blk and have sold blue and hi persimmon so i was just filling it in the way iv actually dealt w/ it.
 
unless your a huge vision pansy (cough more than half of ns cough) then black irid is fine everywhere but super dark, and by super dark i mean night skiing when theres no lights. I only own black iridium lenses and they are perfectly fine when its snowing, perfectly fine when its cloudy, perfectly fine when its sunny, perfectly fine at night when theres lights. Only not fine if theres no lights or flat light, but there really isnt any lenses that are good for flat light.
