Hey guys just came back to NYC and at night I cant see anything. the glare is rediculous with all the lights. I got a pair of glasses that I switch out clear and tinted lenses. Anybody knowa good pair of glasses to wear at night?

 

The yellow lenses are good

 

panoptix make good transition glasses.I love mine.

 

Just be careful if you go with the transition lenses. I have the Wiley X Blink transitions and if I am in decently heavy traffic at night, they will darken to compensate, which cuts down the glare but all you can see is headlights...everything else is dark. I did buy a pair of amber lensed glasses for night riding from one of our site sponsors. The construction isn't as good as the Wiley X but I did get three pairs for $45 as opposed to 150 for one pair of the Wileys.

 

i just wear a pair of contoured shaped clear safety glasses and they work great. I've used a number of yellow nightime sunglasses in the past, but I hate them when i'm on well lit city streets, so i went to the clear safety glasses instead.

 

So, do you guys like yellow or clear better for night riding? I have a really hard time finding glasses that fit me snug and the only ones I have found so far for night are yellow lenses, I was reluctant to get these because I've never tried the yellow (honestly, I did not even know the yellow was specifically for night).

 

I only use clear for nite riding.. "safety glasses" that be had at lowes for cheap....

 

Amber/Yellow are the best for night vision.

 

+1 on that. The amber/yellow lenses will cut the glare way down and will brighten your view some too makeing it much easier to see at night. I keep a pair in my windshield bag in an old sock and when needed I just swap them with my dark glasses.

 

I also go with the yellow. Scored some at Walmart for pretty cheap. Seems to make everything sharper. Feels like I see better with them on then off.
