Do goggle lens color matter-

Oakley G30 lens.  Best lens for every condition I have ever ridden with.  By far my favorite.

different lens tints give better vision in different light conditions.

rose is a good all around lens

yellow or clear is good for night riding

amber is great for sunny days.

every company uses slightly different lens tints. for more information you should check out the website for the goggle brand you are considering they will give you more specific info about the different lenses they offer.

Lens tints absolutely make a difference.  Though you can get away with using 1 lens every time you ride, I wouldn't suggest it.

Yeah wow, thanks for the info. Ill definitely look into these links. Most likely will go for the rose if its good for universal use.
I usually do an insane amount of research on just about every other piece of snowboarding gear. Just never found myself looking up lens differences on goggles.

Yes they do and thanks for reminding me, I need a new lens for my feenoms so I can see at night this season.

Well im searching for the rose lenses on here but I cant find any that are actually on a goggle frame I like haha

I dont like tints, are there any goggle lens that don't have any tint except for clear. Maybe something that is mirrored.

Not sure if there are mirrored clear lens? I would think the mirror adds a tint to it.

Anyways, to OP here's the this is from the electric website. http://www.electricvisual.com/goggle-technical-information/

Well Ill mostly be in bright to some what cloudy days from the looks of it i figured out what tints I need. But since we are on the topic.. do all the different goggle frames make any difference or are those just style... or am i wrong again.

Let me beat everyone to the punch:  Go try on the goggles in your local shop.  The frames make a difference in how they fit on your face.  So it's a combination of style and fit.  You want something comfortable that isn't going to pinch your nose.  And you want a big field of view (most people do anyways) but if you wear a helmet make sure the goggles work well with your helmet too.

Hell yes. Mirrors for sunny days and amber or yellow for cloudy day riding. Its pretty nuts the contrast ratio you will notice when you where the correct lens for the correct conditions. Check out SPY Zeds they come with 2 lenses and thats all you will ever need. I own a pair and they are awesome. for the value its worth it

Originally posted by MathiasM Well ya I understand fit and so on. I was just wondering what the huge price differences are between goggles. Like materials and functionality?

Absolutely right!  The frames and straps are all about style. Some like the huge oversized frames, some don't.  Pick one that you like, and then go try it on.

Originally posted by MathiasM Alright then, done and done. Thanks for the info guys! Im liking the look of anons. Gonna try and find some of the bright condition lenses.

Big tip, TAKE YOUR HELMET WHEN YOU TRY ON GOGGLES!!!

Originally posted by letourneau41 thisisjoebro. If you went riding all day on a Sunny day with no tint and only clear lenses you would sunburn your retinas.

Originally posted by Funinc158 Very true. Except for last season, it was surprisingly sunny out most days.

Haha ya ill probably get a second lens or look for a goggle that comes with the spares.

l just get 2 pair of goggles with me, dont even want to bother with switching out or what now. l mean if you find a cheap pair, you can get it priced at a spare lens

Ya the more I look the more it seems I have to shell out for the mirrored lenses... and I dont get why everyone like Oakley so much... they may have great lenses but their designs are hideous.

Although I agree with the design quip, Oakley goggles just plain don't fit me worth a hoot.  I've tried almost all of them on, just can't win.  Oh well.  I loves me the new Danny Kass signature model (inspiratioin from it came from the Blackfoot Indians in Montana), but he must have a skinny face.  Too bad.  Smith, Scott, and anon seem to fit pretty well for me.

... find a goggle that fits you nice, decide on lens 2nd.. simple as that 

Amazon.com, Bro. Free shipping and some great deals.

The VonZipper goggles I have came with Quasar Chrome lenses, which is a 23% VLT.. Will work in all conditions, except for night time/dark.  Will work the best on cloudy or overcast days. And moderate on sunny days or during blizzards. I think if you have only 1 lense or 1 pair of goggles, this seems like the best bet---At least in my case.

^^ Most companies' full line up have 100% UVA & UVB protection... a few even block UVC.
