The best tinting depends on the weather conditions in which you are skiing. Darker lenses are ideal when it is bright and sunny outside because they reduce the amount of light that reaches your eyes and can block out some of that sun glare. Lighter lenses are better for cloudy dais or skiing at dawn or dusk because they allow more sunlight through the lens which can enhance your vision as it is getting darker. For most skiers, it is best to invest in one dark and one light-tinted lens as well as goggles with detachable lenses. When you have multiple lenses, you can easily clip the lens-free and switch over to a more suitable lens type. When choosing your tinting, you should also consider the fact that you cannot take too many accessories along on skiing expeditions. Too many accessories and extra weight can restrict your ability to move freely. If you hate carrying excess weight then a pair of clear or lightly tinted lenses might be the best option.
