Been using photochromic for a while and they are fine but was wandering if some of the coloured lenses may be worth a try , what are you using and why do you choose these lenses ?

    I also use photochromic - Bianchi Aquila 2. I did previously have a pair of Tifosi with AC Red lenses. Problem with them was the oil effect shows up scratches too easily. I got 3 different lenses with my Bianchi pair but not needed to change them yet as the light reactive part makes them ideal in all conditions.

    As far as coloured go - Yellow or even better orange are good in gloomy light. They cut through the grey and make things look alot brighter.

    Orange/Amber when it's cloudy
    Blue polarised when it's sunny and clear
    Photochromic when I'm not sure

    The blue ones look awesome.

    For sunny days, it's my Oakleys. For evening rides, I love wearing my Screwfix yellow PPE glasses. They are probably my favourite riding glasses.

    I am looking for a good pair of photochromics but haven't found anything I like yet. The Oakley stuff in ph/chr is just too chunky but I do quite like those Aquilas.

    Any other recommendations?

    I use my orange mirror / rainbow oakley lenses most of the time cos I think I look well hard in them. 8)
