What Is Best Lens For Low Light (dusk) Riding?

These are probably the pair that I wear the most, Kronin. While it is true that they are not that effective while driving due to the native UV protection in automobile glass, if I'm wearing them in a car I take them off and hold them out my sunroof for a few seconds to turn them.
I'm wearing them today and wore them yesterday afternoon when it got too dark for the emeralds that I was wearing.
Any day that prospects to be an overcast day or will fluctuate, these are what I wear because they range from VR50 to VR28 and any tint in between.
I don't find that they don't turn much in an automobile to be much of an issue because they can be turned by lowering a window or opening a sunroof.
Honestly the best chops that I have ever had done because of their versatility and Infinite Hero chopped them saving the unique "Transitions" etching:

Oh yeah I've said it before but I'll say it again - those are beautiful...
 
They are slower to turn lighter than they are to turn darker IMHO.

Yeah, that's my experience this week wit my new Flak clear/black lenses. You've got me interested in those tinted transitions but looks like I'd have to get them as a replacement lens for the half jacket... so expensive as I don't have a half jacket already. Maybe for Christmas...!
 
Just received my G30 BI replacement Flak lenses and I know this isn't newsworthy and old G30 BI users will shrug, but I have to say how fantastic this lens is. The color is a subdued version of the VR28 and it makes all the difference. I still get that just entered fairy land feeling but lighter, mellower. The contrast brings a sharpness and zing to a dull, overcast day. I like this lens tint so much, when I arrived at the office I couldn't get off my bike and just rode round the block a few times to enjoy the view :)

Oakley, thank you!
