I have a pair of sunglasses with interchangeable lenses, but I've only used the dark lenses at the moment (proper sunglasses if you will) Now that the days are getting darker, damper and cloudier, what lenses should I use? I'm mostly wondering about the orange lenses. When do people use them?

    For mtb I wear yellow lenses no matter what the weather. For the road I have photochromic.

    Orange lenses are great for slightly dull (not dark) days.

    They seem to enhance the light a bit, and make things brighter.

    If it's really miserable clear lenses are the way to go.

    I go for the orange all the time unless it's really overcast when the clears come out. It does make the world look a much nicer place!

    Looks like I'll be changing to orange very soon

    Did the orange thing today on the camel trail. Raining, overcast and under trees... Not a good plan
