My eyes are very sensitive to bright light. I have been using the Smith PMT Airflow google for the past several years because when I bought them they had the darkest lenses available. However on bright days I have to wear sunglasses under the PMT lenses in order to get adequate screening. What is the darkest lense (for any make or model of google) that you offer. Do they specify the transmissivity of google lenses as they do for sunglasses? I am looking for something in the range of 95% visible light reduction.

yes click on "size chart" for a light transmission chartthe darkest smith lense is gold sol-x mirror (at 7% transmission), the darkest oakley lenses are a four way tie with black iriduim being the most common (at 10% transmission), gold mirror for anon lenses (at 10% transmission)and its not on the site but the darkest von zipper lense is bronze chrome (at 9% transmission)...those are all the brands that i could find with transmission charts on this site, but if you need more info than that you could go digging aroud each companys website--------------------Speaking from experience, the Smith Gold Sol-X is really really dark. Looking straight into the setting sun wasn't even uncomfortable.
