Default sunglasses

I wear prescription glasses and use transition lenses which are in the color of gray, needing a new pair and looking at green color this time, Anyone ride with green colored lenses and can you tell me what you like about them, or have you had both colors and like one over the other?

I like the gray, but riding from in the sun to in and out of shadows of the trees gets a little dark in the shadows, or when the weather changes to rain,

Why not buy a pair of perception Sun glasses in another color, than you will have two chooses. I did that when I used glasses.

I read article that people who think a certain color lens will make things clearer in the day that they are just wrong. How can you see anything better if you are looking through something?

Its just the tint that changes the perspective.

I ride with prescription sunglasses with green lenses and I like them. On a clear day the sky is really blue. Colors really pop compared to my everyday glasses with transition lenses.

I wear Ray-Ban Wayfarers with prescription lenses that are tinted green. I love them. I’ve always used tinted green lenses with them so I can’t really compare them to any other tinted lenses.
