My goggles work great when the sun is out but once it turns grey and darkens up it turns everything one dimensional...got bucked off on the weekend because I couldn't see the shadows of the dips etc. Any advice?

Rose is the best colour. I will be picking up some Oakley rose prizm before next season.

I have found each persons' eyes are different and what works for one doesn't necessarily work for another. When the light is really flat, it pays to be careful unless in a familiar area. This area was not familiar to me and yes, that is a 174 with it's nose in a creek. No damage other than pride, as I was going slow enough. Over the bars and a few laughs.......photo opportunity!

Rose colored, Oakly Prizm.

Awsome. The mirrored ones are a little to much shade for my liking on a really grey day, the non mirrored are the best I've tried, hands down. No comparison to Klim or 509 in anyway. Fit, fog resistance, and ease to change lenses.

^ My experience as ẃell. They are pricing but very high quality. I used mine all season and they still look new, tons of km with them. Rose prizm no tint, they work good on sunny days too, 100% uv filtration.

Rose. 100%.

I tried 9 different lens colors... I can am 110% sure the Oakley Persimmon lens works the best. Which is very close to the same as the rose.

Rose prizm is by far the best I've found run them in my airbrakes and its turned out to be a KILLER combo

Best I've found is the non mirrored bronze polarized 509's, I also use a cheap pair of clear to light blue transition lense pro-grips that are like $50with awesome results. The rose lense and amber don't work for me at all.
