Can anyone comment if the sensor mirror with 70% VLT good enough...

By Ranked #1027 - Goggles March 8, 2011

Can anyone comment if the sensor mirror with 70% VLT good enough for night-time snowboarding? Or do I need to get a clear lens for the I/O with 84% VLT? Granted there will be lights throughout the slopes for night-time skiing/snowboarding and I may not be do much night-time riding, so trying to figure out if there's enough justification to spend the extra cash on clear lens, or if the sensor mirror lens are safe enough for night-time use. Thx in advance!

Kinda torn on this myself since the majority of my skiing/boarding will most likely be night time after work. They do have a clear lens for the I/O available but nothing that looks or is described as contrast enhancing.

I wear the sensor at night and it works fine.

Hey, It would do okay. But the best options would for sure be Clear (which i don't think they even make for the I/O) and a Yellow.
