+1000 IMO

Until Google releases their augmented-reality radar, terrain mapping goggles [Goggles by Google (tm)] I'll keep using a nearly clear green lens [80-90%VLT] and a dark 20% VLT. But I spend most of the time in the green. Until it's really quite bright [mostly sunny] I stay in the very high VLT lens. While I'm a quite a ways short of 60, my eyes have really taken a beating the last year or two.

Finally, as for cheap goggles - try Outdoor Master Pro on Amazon. (They appear to be Anon knock-offs.) I've been using them the last couple of years. Magnetic lenses I really quite like. Pricing is less attractive now, but when I went that route, I got two complete frames and lenses [light and dark] for ~ $50. IMO, there's no "magic" around any lens formula or color - so no need to chase unicorns and pay big bucks for a brand, if the fit and quality is reasonable.

Good to know. I'll stick with my Blue Sensor Mirrors for now.

I got chromapop everyday and storm. They work all right. In full sun the everyday get a bit overwhelmed. The storm are all right but not as good as old Oakley amplification ones. I need the fan though so it’s Smith. Plus they replaced my last two pair under warranty when foam collapsed. So the low light yellow amplifier Oakley were best I ever used.

Yellow sensor is quite a step up over the blue for flat light storm skiing.

I tried looking though yellow sensor vs. blue sensor and the difference to me wasn’t worth paying for one over the other. Also didn’t seem worth having both. If you already have one, then go ski.

Said it before, I'll say it again. Clear fucking lens.

There is no substitute in flat light.
