Glasses for night riding

Giraffoto

I’m about to get some new glasses for riding at night – does anyone use anything other than colourless? Are there any advantages to amber/yellow/persimmon? This is for complete darkness in the woods at night, so street lighting doesn’t really enter into it.

I find completely clear is the only thing that works at night. I tried using yellow, but found they cut visibility too much.

Clear.

Untinted it is. Does anyone have any experience of Oakley Racing Jacket frames?

I've got some of those for general use, but the clear is not fully clear and not good enough for night riding in unlit woods. I got a pair of cheap safety glasses in Screwfix that look similar and are completely clear.

Clear Bolle Contours or Spiders from Ebay (about £7).

I missed the all-important word "prescription" in my original post. ff-the-shelf safety goggles or contacts are a no-no. So: Racing Jacket. Any experience/reviews?

They get great reviews but are very expensive for a full prescription glaze. You could check out Rudy project or similar and get an optical insert. It works out cheaper than getting the lenses glazed. I was in a similar position and looked at oakley, Rudy and adidas evil eyes but in the end just bought some bolle contours and wear contacts, it's much cheaper. But if contacts are a no go.
