I can say for sure I absolutely love the simplified and more practical color/tints of the Dang googles. Had one crazy stormy day and man the clear lenses rocked. Will be sticking with Dang.
Not having a clear lens in the bag is not an option. Brands that don't have a clear lens is still baffling to me.

I’m about simplicity personally. I’ve got a quiver of about six pairs of various age air goggles that I’ve accumulated over the years. Each has a different lense so I just change the entire goggle I’m using. Red radium is my favorite everyday lense for most conditions.

My eyes prefer rose varients (over yellow/orange). But Oakley had a light pink prism that idk if they make anymore, was some letter/number combo that I use 90% of the time. Maybe they call it hi pink now.

It's like clear, but better. Idk that I've ever used my grey. It's just always overcast in the Midwest. I know elevations above the clouds require darker lens though.

For those looking for photochromatic lenses. Cool to support snowboarders.
wish they had an option without the photochromatic lenses. at that price i'd stick with anon.

Yeah, they’re not really for me either. See my comment above about old airblaster goggles.

Hi pink is getting replaced with the Iced lens. There is also a Clear Prizm lens that has a slightly pink tint.

Bought the new Line Miner Pro and two lenses were included, Sapphire and Iced. Also bought the Clear Prizm.
Had the Dragon NFX before and Oakley lenses are way better(for me)
Like seeing life in pink.

Have you ever tried the regular Line Miners? Do the Pros fit the same or different in any way?
I find the mid VLT range Prizm lenses good for just about any conditions, especially if you're spending the whole day out with the lighting changing during the day and depending on the elevation, but having a quick change spare for edge cases, mostly low light, would be nice too.

Just in a shop with my helmet, they fit pretty similar to me. At least the larges. Bought regular LM used in large according to the seller, unfortunately they were mediums and don't fit as good. Bummer and wished I could keep them because was my favorite strap, Factory Pilot Blackout.
Prefer the different light pink ones over any darker. Mostly riding in low light and so on that's why good lenses is a must for me.
