so i have been searching for 10 weeks.....yep long time. oakley , scott and such web sites really suck for info. i have done several searches for what color lens seems to be most preferred on sand but really no really good info out there. a lot of random posts that really don't pertain to color as much as what looks cool lol i came across one post that caught my eye.....http://www.moddedraptor.com/community/riding-apparel/8081-best-goggles-dunes.html " I've tried a lot of goggles at the dunes and so far nothing compares to the oakley sand goggles with the gold iridium lens. That lens is designed for the dunes. Glare is no problem and clarity is second to none IMO. Can't go wrong with that setup. "now i tried doing a search on oakley's site and the only thing i can find is 24k iridium color. not surprising since that post was from 2009 but oakley's site does not say if it's polarized or not. i emailed but will prob have to call. http://www.oakley.com/en/shop-by-sport-mx/mx-goggles/o-frame-2-0-mx-goggle/product/WGOO7068?skuCode=OO7068-09&variant=888392114662so my question is what color lens do all of you pre fer for sand? i have tried tinted as in lite smoked, amber, clear and mirrored lite smoked. the smoked ones are too dark for myself to read shadows on the dunes. the clear are great but blinding when i get to facing the sun. the amber are great for at night but bad during the day for myself. i use the save face mask but that is there enitre color choice and it sucks! i eamiled them but they don't care based on there response. imo masks are great but len's suck. my skin on my fingers scratch there lens every time i change one and they damn sure fog up. haven't found any manufacturer that sells little lens samples i can take out and try that's why i'm asking.
wth glenn!

Love the mask but the lenses are junk ,junk,junk.
I have gone to the Blue polar lens and really like it. It allows just enough shadow to define the lips and transitions but holes down the glare. I just had my new eye script put in a pair of Oakley wrap around, by Oakley they have the Polar blue lens and wear a pair of plain lens goggles. PSThe weather is warm here in sunny AZ and the sand is smooth. I am finally healing and my health is returning to some kind of normality. Hoping to be released to the streets in a day or two soon as they give me a clean bill of health. To give you a quick run down of my life for the past two weeks felt like shit, went to hospital, diagnosed with (Human Metapneumovirus) Just google it. Only two know cases of it in Yuma AZ and I am number two. More later as I heal.
