Got a few runs on them last night but it was pouring rain but seemed pretty good clarity wise from what I could see thru. Would like to compare on a snowy day to see if I like them better. Forgot how comfy Oakley face foam was.

I have the Anon Syncs with Perceive Sunny Onyx and Violet. I like both of those lenses a lot and they cover 90% of my riding. Anon doesn't make a true clear lens, though, which sucks.

I also have the Oakley Line Miner Ls with the Torch Iridium lens. Love those too, and the fit/foam on them is better than the Anons, but they don't come with a spare lens and that sucks.

I had a pair of M4s briefly this season. The lens swap is great, but they're just massive goggles and stuck out from my face way too much so I sent them back.

I thought Anon discontinued the m3s but apparently they still sell them. I liked them over the m4 because of the size. also clear lenses are still available

Due to some stormy/foggy days I’ve used my clear lenses (Smith IO Mag XL) more this season than ever before, I e only really used them at night before.

Have you had any experience with whether Oakley Prizm Persimmon lenses or Anon Perceive Cloudy lenses are better for days with zero or very low visibility?
In addition to highlighting the contrast, I am looking for a mask with greater peripheral and downward vision. I am between Line Miner and Anon M3, M4…
Now I have a m3 with sun lens and a airbrake

Oakley always gave me more confidence but it is true that now the market has also changed

smith makes a light brown tint that almost looks clear - really like them for low light. the yellow/pink ones always looked off to me.

sounds similar to the Cloudy Night lens Anon was making for a bit, don't remember if it was with the Sonar or Perceive tech, but they have a suuuper light amber tint to them, which pairs pretty nicely with the yellow lights of Troll at night.
midwest is best
