Who here uses two lenses? One General Purpose one for Normal Days and Another for Blizzard Days like a Hi Intensity Yellow?
Its nearly impossible to enjoy a day in semi blizzard days with normal Lenses (In those rare occurance!)......

i have a mirror fog and a intense mirror lense for sun. the mirror fog is just a reflective fog lense and is rediculously clear for low light days. the sun lense is super dark and good for sun i guess. i have annon realms and are just amazing.

Yeah, i have a pair of Von Zipper's that came with 2 lenses. The yellow ones are great at night and in bad weather.

Yeah the lens is like 75% of the cost of any goggles...
My EG1s came with a mirrored and a red lens, so I use to alternate between the 2 depending on conditions, but I'm too lazy to change them now... It's definitely worth doing if you can be bothered..

what's the difference between the different sorts of lenses? which ones are better for what conditions?

Clear - night boarding. Anything else just makes it look too dark because it filters out some colours of the light spectrum.
Yellow/Gold/Amber - best for low light conditions to show up the snow beneath you better.
Rose/Red - also for low light but more of an all rounder than above.
Polarized - is best for glare and sunny days.
Mirrored - decent for glare but more for the aesthetics (and perv factor, haha...)
Best combination for a sunny/glarey day is mirrored AND polarized.
Feel free to add to this list and I will post it in the articles section...

I due use two different pairs of goggles (adidas) but I find The Silver Mirrored great in all Conditions, and hardly use the other ones, only in spring when its blue bird every day.
