clear goggles needed for night skiing?

Any differences between the Sensor Mirror vs. Gold Sensor Mirror?

for my eyes, the standard/blue sensor works better...its the same base rose lens and same VLT but the gold sensor has more of an amber tint overall and IMO doesn't provide as much contrast in lower light conditions.

I use yellow when the light is really lousy and the sensor mirror as my normal east coast midwinter everyday lens.

For night skiing, are clear goggles "required"?

FWIW, I have a zeal photocromatics that are awesome during daytime conditions. Handles variable conditions great.

TIA

Clear goggles for me, but only because I wear contacts.

also a big fan of the smith sensor blue mirror for all around use. i keep looking for a cheap clear pair as it seems every year my night vision gets worse, what a drag t is getting old....

I just scored a pair of Native goggles from a rep. They come with two different lenses. Swapping them out took me a little studying of the instructions...but it works reallt well/quickly.

One lens is darker (and polarized)...the other is lighter, but not clear (or yellow).

I bought the Seige model

I can connect you to the rep if you're interested.....$60

As for wearing contacts with goggles.....I have a nice pair of Carreras and tried wearing contacts with a year or so ago....ooof. One lens dried up and popped out. I can "see" ok w/o them. I just can't "read" w/o them. So I opt to go neked-eyed till it's time to order food in the lodge. I'll see if it's any different with the Natives.
