Great Goggles!!!

Never fogged(NEVER), 30 second swap for lenses and unparalleled optics and vision. These have the sickest styling out there and really stand out for all to envy. I have gotten countless compliments and everyone seems to want to know were I got these. I have these paired w/ the Smith Hustle helmet and the integration is seamless!!! Replacement lenses can be found at ski-depot.com and the Pink lenses are the best for low/flat light conditions, contrary to previous reviews. The Champagnes are OK, but man up and get the Pink if you want to see in poor conditions(I have tried all the lenses). If you want attention and beautiful piece of equipment, get the POC Lobes!

Jay, I checked the POC site and they rate the Pink lenses as 20% on their VLT scale Here's the info from POC VLT (Visable Light Transmission) is a measurement that specifies the percentage of light coming through the lens and reaching your eyes. A totally clear lens for dark conditions typically have around 90% VLT and a very dark colored lens with mirror for sunny conditions may have down to 10% VLT. Most allround lenses will be found between 30 to 60 %. That means , in their words, the pink lens aint no good for flat light!? I love the look of the pink lense so I'm going to have to try it out for myslef, like you have! According to POC, their best rated Lobes for poor light are the Yellows at 63%

Yellow, huh? I believe that is a new lens color option for 2010, along w/ Orange. Neither was available in the 2009 line(that I could find). I will have to try the Yellows; thanks for the info aDam.
