guys there are different info on different websites about CLOUDY PINK / BURST. which one has more VLT? and which one is better for super cloudy weather?
I now have an M2 with the Sunny Red (14% VLT) and the Cloudy Burst (59% VLT). I would like an S2, variable lens to use in conditions with both sun and clouds. Do you think the Variable Green (22% VLT) or the Variable Violet (34% VLT) is the better choice for that? I'm thinking the Variable Violet becauce the VLT is kinda in the middle, but isn't the VLT of that one to low for when there is sun aswell al clouds? Maybe the Variable Green would be better than, but the VLT seems pretty close to the Sunny lens I already have... Thanks!
Functionally, they are pretty similar. The Cloudy Burst will let a bit more light through and is my personal favorite between then two. It doesn't hurt that it looks dope!
Based on where I am and with work, I almost am always going at night. I previously had 85% VLT with Anon's Clear lens which worked well. The 73% of the Perceive Night goggles worried me at first, but your video has turned me onto trying them (:
I go off path in the dark through the trees also (; still see decently with them, sometimes put them up though on my helmet. But that's just if it's a real dark night in the woods
@@WhyIsTheMooseLoose , would you say the cloudy night is better (more contrast) or clear is better (more VLT) - specifically for night skiing? I'm trying to decide between the two
I noticed that Anon also offers a Polar (polarized smoke) lens which is 8% VLT. How does that compare with the Perceive Sunny Onyx 6% VLT lens? Is one better than the other? Does the Polar Smoke contain the same tech as the Perceive Sunny Onyx? Thanks!
Hello! For low-light, the cloudy burst is the way to go for extra contrast and definition to help you fight through the oversaturated white and grey tones. However, for night riding, it may be too dark. With a 59% VLT, unless the runs are sufficiently well-lit, it may block too much light to accurately navigate your lines. In which case, the clear would be the better option. Hope this helps!
I recently purchased the Anon M4 but was having trouble deciding on which lens to get. I ended up getting the Onyx lens (6%) and it comes with the Variable Violet (34%). My question is, do I really need a clearer lens for cloudy/overcast days or will my variable violet get the job done? Please and thank you~ Also, if I were to get a overcast lens, what VLT would you recommend?
Great Question James! The Violet lens should perform decently well for most cloudy/overcast conditions, but for whiteout or nighttime you'll likely need something with a higher VLT like the Cloudy Burst and/or Cloudy Night.
Got the same pack been night boarding 4 times this week and used the violet lens 1 time was to dark every other time!! Trying to buy night lens but sold out online!!
For variable conditions like clouds rolling in an out and towards the evening when it’s getting darker would it be a good idea to have variable blue and the variable violet? 13% light transmission difference it seems good to have as many options for any weather condition and time of day being so easy to switch out lenses
Hi! Anon's Percieve Variable Violet is designed for cloudy/lower light conditions. With a 34% vlt you should be well equipped for most environments save night riding.
HI! Many folks, especially those with light sensitivity and who are used to having polarized lenses in their sunglasses, prefer a polarized lens for snow to eliminate reflective glare. So for some, it's 100% worth the extra dough.
Hi guys, thank you for this fantastic video. Possible to do a complete lens color guide (with the view from inner lens same as this video) for Oakley Prizm Snow?
We did! Check it out! ua-cam.com/video/eIo59IojH5s/v-deo.html Rumor is that there may be some new Prizm Snow lenses coming next season. Perhaps an update will be coming as soon as we can get our hands on them!
@SportRxSanDiego - got the Anon M4, but the Sonar Smoke by Zeiss VLT 7% S4 and the Sonar IR Blue by Zeiss VLT 39% S2. Unfortunately, somebody stole them so I need to replace - they are discontinued and I now see PERCEIVED is Anon's new tech. Which 2 lenses from PERCEIVE line can replace my stolen Sonars? Currently only have the Sonar Night by Zeiss VLT 77% S1, but nothing for cloudy or blue bird days :( Thank you for your helpful videos!
Hey there! While there's something to be said for every Perceive Lens option, Rob's 3 preferred Perceive Lenses are.... Sun Bronze for bright bluebird days ☀ Variable Violet for the in between conditions ⛅ Cloudy Pink for low light/whiteout environments 🌨
Just ordered Perceive Cloudy Night, hope it's good. Judging by this vid tho it seems that I'll stick with Sonars. I really like the highly saturated colours which make everything pop and make life good :):) For real life contrast I already own 4D Mag.
@@sportrxeyewear Truth be told, I do not see YUGE difference between it and the Sonar Night. Both are excellent. Perceive has very slightly more rosy tint, but you really have to try hard to tell it. I like it very much but one would not go wrong with either.
@@tonyg3091 Are you using Sonar/Perceive Night for actual night riding or just low-light daytime? Have you ridden any other lenses for the same use that you like? I'm curious to know b/c it's my top pick for night riding, though I've never personally gotten an opportunity to ride it at night.
How did the variable violet work out for you at night? I tried them yesterday and it wasn’t too bad but i ended up just leaving them on my helmet. Shadows are really dark. Unless you have a really well lit mountain i would advise against. On a cloudy/sunny day they are amazing. Just purchased the cloudy night today for night riding and from what i can tell just looking through them in a dimly lit house, they offer quite a bit more low light visibility then the variable violet without the red tint.
That's a great question! You want to make sure that you avoid wiping the lens while it's wet. Using a clean microfiber cloth and wiping the lens gently while it's dry is the best practice. CORRECTION: This was read as being specific to smudges on the backside of the lens. It there are smudges on the frontside of the lens, you can use a lens cleaner with a totally clean microfiber cloth and clean it off. The front of the lens doesn't need to be treated nearly as delicately as the backside!
Hi Gary! A 72% VLT should be more than adequate for night shredding. However, the amount of available light, or how illuminated the mountain is, should play into your decision as well. For example, the Oaklely Prizm Clear lens has a VLT of 65% and was designed with nighttime riding in mind.

@@sportrxeyewear I'm curious about the same thing. I recently purchased the M5s with the sunny red and cloudy burst combo. Should be pretty well covered for daytime, but I also go boarding at night, and I'm not sure if I'd be better off getting the clear lens or the cloudy night? Which do you think is better for night skiing?
That's a great question! I would recommend the Green/Pink because I think it's better to get more light through your eyes than less. You can always squint, but I can't figure out how to do the opposite of squinting. That being said, I am not particularly light sensitive. If you are light sensitive, go for the Onyx/Violet.
Where in Europe? Depends on what slopes you ski. If above the tree line with lots of harsh sun-a sun specific with VLT 9-13. Otherwise-one of the Variable versions with VLT 22-23. Then it will depend entirely on what base you like. Some like grey, some bronze, some pink.
@@sportrxeyewear Yeah, totally! I also prefer more light and or me VLT below 10 is a no no. But some people want to go to even 7, depends on light sensitivity.
Toric lenses overrated? I was given two of the same lens for my M4s and didn't wanna go through hassle of complaining. Unsure about going spherical or toric
We like the toric lens! The M4 is only available in toric and cylindrical options. If you ordered those from us, we will absolutely take care of that for you!
All 3 brands produce amazing lenses for snow with color boosting and contrast enhancing elements. It ultimately comes down to personal preference, but Anon lenses are definitely considered among the top tier candidates.
Still have questions about Perceive lenses? Let us know down below!

Happy to help! It's the Perceive Variable Blue lens 🤙
How do they compare to prism

Definitely! Though depending how dark it gets near dusk, you may want to opt for a higher vlt lens like the Cloudy Pink or Burst
Do I need a cloudy lens if I have that variable violet that came extra with my goggles?
Hi! Anon's Percieve Variable Violet is designed for cloudy/lower light conditions. With a 34% vlt you should be well equipped for most environments save night riding.
Hi, nice vid again mate! Do you ship prescriptions to Europe? Really need those. Thx! Fred

@@tonyg3091 Sounds good! Now, I have to ask: what lens are you cycling in?
can i get away with variable violet at night skiing? Cuz i'm getting the Sunny Onyx Lens; Spare Lens: Variable Violet combo

Do you guys sell only the Anon M4 lens?
HI! Not the lenses themselves, we make prescription inserts for Anon goggles. Additional replacement lenses can be purchased through Anon/Burton.
I have a set of sunny onyx, variable violet, and cloudy pink and do man do you ever see nicely
cloudy pink vs cloudy burst whats the difference? i ordered burst for bad weather
Is the violet doable for night riding?
@@sebasapereira Its OK. I wouldn’t do it unless your mountain is well lit. Shadows are really dark. Get the cloudy night.
Amazing video

@@chino581991 Dont be silly man, I am talking proper stone grind by a trusted ski service shop.

Dont use purple at night trust me
They scratch very easy!!! Awesome but dont run gloves on them
So, from what I got from this video, NONE of these lenses are anywhere near true to life colour :/
They seem to have that strong orangy tiny.
