Looking for advice on Oakley low light goggle lenses
I am looking for a pair of new goggles that will do me well in the normal low/flat light of December/Jan/February. I have a pair of mid range scott goggles that just don't cut it in low light. I also have a Spy Soldier frame that needs a replacement lense. I am probably going to get a mirrored replacement lense to put in the Spy's for sunny days.
I have narrowed my choice for low lights down to the Oakley Splice goggles with either the HI Persimmon or HI Yellow lenses. Anyone have insight on either one of these lenses? I know the HI Yellow lets more light in. Wondering if anyone has real world experience with either lense.

I have the HI Persimmon in an Oakley A-Frame and they're great in flat light, nothing at all like the regular Persimmon. For me, they're fine in bright sunlight, too. I hear that the HI Yellow will fry your eyeballs when the sun comes out.

Hey Snowballs. You can replace the lenses on most goggles these days unless they are lower end models. Sometimes it doesn't make sense as the lenses are as expensive (or close to as expensive) as the goggles (with new lense). The mid to high end Oakley's, Scott's, Spy's, Von Zippers, etc. etc. all have multiple lenses choices for all kinds of light conditions. It's actually ends up being information overload. You just have to google the goggles (say that 10 times) you have along with "replacement lenses" and chances are you will find a ton of sites with replacements. You obviously need to know the exact model of the goggle frame.
I am now leaning towards just getting an orange or persimmon replacement lense for my spy soldiers. I would rather drop 40-60 bucks on them than on new oakleys. The oakleys are pretty sweet though. Decisions decisions. A quiver of one or two goggles?
I am just tired of almost killing myself when I cannot see any snow definition in low light / snowy conditions.
In Oakley glasses molding method is used to protect your eyes from dangerous light rays and is combined with polarized filter. I have used advanced project snow glasses in snowy areas with super anti fog lens with full protection from UV rays and specially useful in low or flat light.
