What is the difference in lens view/tint?Updated a year ago
We know it can be confusing for anyone short of sunglass aficionado status to know what lenses might be right for them. Green, grey, brown - what is the difference anyway? Should you get a different lens tint for the boat or the mountains? Well, we're glad you asked! We created a short guideline to use as a starting place to make your next informed lens decision:
Grey
Weather: Good for most conditions
Great for: Everyday use, cycling, driving, fishing, watersports, outdoor sports, snow sports
A grey tint is the darkest tint and can aid you in cutting glare. Grey is a versatile color and can be used in a broad range of activities, all while offering true color perception. Wear these lenses for everything from walking your dog to hitting the slopes. Most of our mirror-coated lenses are on a grey base, for maximum versatility!
