Aircooled6racer Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Hello: I used to use reds and then started to try different colors. Polarized brown works very well to give contrast if shooting with a dull background. If a bright background the Polar 3FX works the best. I have tried most of the shades for different gun games and these are the two I use mostly. I use the Photchromic clears for indoors or cloudy days. I think my eyes are more sensitive to light than some. Altitude comes into play as well. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v1911 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) Photochromatic: clear to black Use them mostly indoors. But I didn't have to invest in an outdoor set because the lenses adapt. Great on over cast days and even on bright sunny days, I don't even realize hard they're working until I take them off.

Nimitz Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Clear. Exactly ... Back in my offshore fishing days I used to have a pair of Costa Del Mar sun glasses made from optically ground glass ... Started using them for shooting since they have zero distortion vs polycarbonate lens that are colored ... When I have to go with those I always try to use clear ...

Hello: I would be very careful using glass lenses. The Rudy lenses are very good and I have not noticed any distortion at all.

BlkEagle Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Definitely the Photochromic Racing Red with Impact2x lens is the way to go. I have one of these Rudy Ryzer XL in Photochromic Racing Red and I love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rudy lenses are very good and I have not noticed any distortion at all. Thanks, Eric It is important to double that message. Shooting glasses are Safety glasses, safety glasses first and foremost. From Safetyeyeglass.com (store): " To help combat the eye hazards in these dangerous environments the United States Military has implemented a series of rigorous ballistic tests that safety glasses, sunglasses, and goggles worn by today's men and women in uniform have to pass. These tests subject eyewear to projectile impacts over four times the velocity (650 fps +/- 10 fps) of normal ANSI testing standards (150 fps). All the ballistic safety glasses, ballistic sunglasses and ballistic goggles listed in this section are certified ANSI Z87.1-2015 for high impact, and also meet or exceed one or more of the following ballistic standards: MIL-PRF-31013, MIL-V-43511C, and CE EN166B. " Glass would probably shatter or splinter into the eye and that would not be a welcome result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njl Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I generally shoot with clear. You want all the light you can get, so your pupils close down, maximizing depth of field. Early on, I bought some other lenses either out of stupidity, or because they were part of package deals. I have racing red and multilaser orange, and haven't found a use for them. When wearing my Rudy's as sun glasses, I like the photochromic polarized lenses...but I don't shoot with those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the Zion in multilaser orange and I use that when I shoot when I face direct sunlight. I am able to see targets that are blending with the berm.
