What are the best lenses for all around? Im an east coaster btw.

The best all around lens is persimmon. It isn't too dark at night while not blinding you during the day. The H.I. lenses just let in too much light on brighter days, making it tough to make out the terrain or giving you a headache after a while.

For the all around conditions including when its snowing with little visibility I love the High Intensity Persimmon lenses. For the really bright blue bird days I really like fire iridium. Great goggles, hope you get them!

im an EC er myself and i use the HI intensity yellow quite a bit, its good at night and for "our" flat light conditions, it seems to work well when it is partly cloudy out too, our blue bird days are far and few in between (IMO Persimmon sucks on the east)

I use a lot the Persomon lense, great even when limited contrast. See my picture here above

If you click on the sizing chart it will display the percentage of light transmission and what situation it is ideal for. I find that with Oakely lenses, Persimmons is the best lens if you are only using one lens for all condition. It provides good visibility in all conditions. There are better lenses for bright sun, and better lenses for flat light. But for one lens to perform well in all lighting conditions, the Persimmon lens fits the bill. It has an orangeish/amber tint to it. This helps brighten things up in a little when it is dark or snowy, and reduce brightness and glare on really sunny days. It also performs well in all the conditions in between those two extremes.
