|  Sun Glasses Do any of you wear yellow sunglasses? A friend of mine wears a yellow pair with foam seal around the edges and loves them even on sunny days. I see they are for night riding as well........ Dave S. |

    | I've had a set of yellow lenses. They're nice simply because you get some tint during the day and can still wear them at night. That's about it really. I didnt notice any kind of glare reduction.

| I used to have a pair back when I was flying (private pilot), but now I have the flip-down sunshade built into my Schuberth helmet.

| I had a pair years ago (Eagle Eyes) and after wearing them for a couple of hours in bright sunlight, my eyes had a problem adjusting to normal colors when I took them off. Took almost an hour for my vision (color perception) to return to normal. Probably just my reaction to them, but I won't wear yellow lenses any more. Dark smoke works best for me.

| I use an amber lens in my Serengetti's....great colour and really helps me see variances in the road surfaces. Like Ray, I had real issues readjusting after taking off the yellow buggers. We used them for riding as well as Shooting...not a fan

| I have a pair and LOVE them. I don't recommend them for daytime use. I use my smoked-lenz shades during the day. At night, the amber/yellow lenz riding glasses are awesome. I hate the glare from oncoming headlights while riding at night and the yellow shades do a great job of toning that down. If you wear them at night, they tone down all of the glare without negatively impacting your ability to see.

| Oh so THAT's what those yellow sunglasses are for! I have a pair of Adidas sports glasses and they come with dark tinted lenses and a pair of yellow ones that can easily replace the dark ones. But I never knew when to use the yellow ones. Now I know. Hmm....maybe I should try the yellow ones next time I ride at night. Now I wonder if I can still wear those with my helmet on....... Being sports sunglasses they are a bit bulky. |
