Sensor mirror or Platinum mirror or even Ignitor mirror. What...

Sensor mirror or Platinum mirror or even Ignitor mirror. What is the difference? I've been reading and people are talking about them. But I'm a little slow. I wanna buy these goggles but don"t know which lens. I ski in all kinds of conditions. What's flat light? Heard that term quit a bit. But lets just say i am leaning towards the Ignitor or the Platinum lens. What's the real difference between the two. Does the difference in light make that much of a difference? Please help. Thanks.

If Smith still sells their polarized lens for this goggle, that would be your best bet. Sure it costs the most, but once you go polarized, you never go back. Say flat-light conditions exist, you wouldnt be able to see that catwalk cutting across the trail until its too late... Sensor mirror is great in flat-light, no doubt. Polarized is great for sunny days or if you hate glare. Personally, I rock my Prodigy Polarized on sunny days, and switch to my Smith I/O's for everything else (yellow, sensor,ignitor, platinum, clear)

The sensor mirror is the best all around lense ever made......from blue bird to pea soup. flat light is when the light and elements make it all but impossible to see any kind of terrain definition essentially "flattening" everything out into one plane. ie. skiing on white snow in a cloud= didn't see that coming.
