By mistake before I had the sol-x lens and was trying to block out more light on a bright day.  It's really spooky in low-light conditions.

I was amazed how well the sensor lens is even when the sun comes out. I had some high intensity yellow lenses that would lill me when the sky changed. The Sensor also gives better depth to the snow.

I would agree with both of Phil's comments.? The Sensors, even though they transmit more light (thank you Ron) are easier for me to wear all the time and don't seem as bright in sunlight as the RC36 (even thought they have a lesser VLT number).? I too had a pair of shootrer's yellow and they hurt my eyes when the sun came out.

But, having received all this information, I need to test some this winter.? One pair of my glasses is hi-index plastic and another is polycarbonate.? I can "feel" the difference in my eyes when I change (can't describe it any better than that).? One pair also has an anti-scratch coating that reflects green in flourescent light.? I need to try both pair of glasses with both goggles, maybe there is an optimum combination here.? Maybe the coating doesn't match well with the sensor lens, I didn't realize they were polarized.
