New Glasses - but which lens is best for winter?

[hedgey]

I've just bought a pair of BBB Impact glasses that come with 3 lens options.

Tinted for sunny days as is usual, but also clear and yellow.

I plan to commute all winter, and I guess would use the yellow lens to brighten light levels on dull days - but wondered what they'd be like in the dark?

What does everyone else do?

Do you use the yellow option - or maybe you just stick with the clear?

Yellow is the best all round option by far (IMHO). It accentuates contrasting colours and I even find it lifts my mood. I think the amount of light cut out by them is so close to zero as not to matter TBH.

I agree about the effect on mood - I stopped wearing reactolite lenses because if the weather was even slightly overcast they made the world look a really depressing place.

Yellow for all conditions other that bright sunlight, then tinted.

At night it helps reduce dazzle from oncoming cars and makes them all look French.

The only strange thing is that blue lights look green

anything other than full sun the yellow are awsome to brighten up your day

+3 for yellow

I use them all year around for commuting , good enough for bright days and they also protect against headlight glare without making it any darker to make a difference.
