what is the difference between the sensor mirror and the platinum mirror? I've got 2 other Phenom and Prodigy goggles both with sensor mirrors because i thought they adjust to the light. And i really like them, they never fog...ever! I do alot of backcountry and heli snowboarding and they are the best.

Huge difference, pardon my pun but its almost like night and day...sensor is great for flat light and low light, some people (particularly Angus Bohanon) would contest that its the best flat light lens ever, and i see no reason to argue with that...Platinum mirror is a much darker lens (lets in %45 less light and is smiths second darkest lens) and is better for the lighter half of the spectrum, from party cloudy to very bright sun...and its really a toss up, its a good idea to have both really, but the sensor mirror seems more versatile for everything except bright sun
