Yellow or clear glasses?

Pretty much all of our riding in Oregon is in very shaded wood canopy - we ride all summer and still
are white as ghosts. Yellows are the shade of preference for many of us. Sunglasses are way too
dark, even on bright days.

But they aren't good at all when it starts getting dark. If the ride is going to go well after
sunset, we wear clear lenses. Be careful about any delays in the ride - riding in the dark with no
lights and no moon is very difficult (we did that twice last fall).

I prefer the yellow vs. amber glasses when it's really bright outside. Otherwise, I wear clear. Get
a good multi-lense system that fits yo' head.

Daylight hours are getting less and lack of light in after work rides is becoming a factor but bat
powered lights wouldn't be much help either.

I know polarizing can reduce glare but besides balding squirrels, glare isn't much of a factor in
the woods.

Yellow gives the Frank Butcher effect, which is very useful IMHO.

Anything around the yellow - orange spectrum will 'sharpen' vision in low light conditions. I
haven't tried yellow cuz I'm afraid it might be too glaring. I have a persimmon one that I love and
a light orange one which is ok.

Sorry to steal your topic a bit, but while we're on this, has anyone tried blueish tints? According
to Oakley's chart, blue can be ok in high or low light. I'm looking for something thats good in the
sun and out of it.

anyone try Adidas Evil Eye Pro? i see alot of the local sponsored riders are usin them... which
doesnt say much except they were free... Thats what im lookin at anyways.. I been usin orange
Oakleys for the last few years, i like them alot .. real light, never fall off or slip, and i find
the orange alot nicer in the real bright sun.. The lighter yellows i still find to bright. i would
only buy clear if you ride in real low light...
