I can't wear yellow-tinted sunglasses, can you?

I hardly ever use orange or yellow. I use the Adidas A123 Gazelle sunglasses with LST polarized lens, it is kind of a cross between brown and dark orange, but the polarization is what works the best.

Try Gray, or brown also. Checkout:

for ideas on glasses then shop around for prices.

I have some Tifosi's with yellow lenses. I pull them out in evening riding, and specifically rain. I dont use clear lenses for rain, i use the yellow ones because they enhance all colors and actually allow me to see through the rain a little better.

Doug, the glasses are pretty badass. They're made by Optic Nerve, a Colorado-based company, and are a model that features lens interchangeability. The yellow-tinted lens are the only ones I have trouble with.

Zach, I probably should try them in the rain, I've tried them in the evening, but I can't get used to the inaccurate color definition. You should try hardcore hallucinogenics, they too enhance all colors, and allow you to see through rain, as well as your consciousness better.

I have the Tifosi with interchangeable lenses. Clear, rose and dark. I can't use the dark when flying because I can't see the cockpit switches well. I switched to rose and it works well in all weather. James says I look scary, like mean. I would say those yellow lenses are for those rides when it is fairly dark due to overcast, etc.. Like a hair's breath away from requiring clear lenses.

Yeah, I usually use a copper tint, which is similar to the manufacturer's Rose tint. They both fall around 28% light transmission, and the descriptions are almost identical.

Hmm, I'd want to think that that those lenses would make him more amiable(think about the idiom "Rose-colored glasses"). You should see if he reacts slower in a sprint when you wear them.
