I'm thinking that it might be time to get a pair of goggles for some of the days in the bike park (maybe it's a sign that I'm running out of accessories to buy), and I was wondering what colour of lens is best. Is it possible to get 1 lens that is good for both the overcast rainy days as well as the sunny hot dusty days?

i got a clear lense and an orangey lense.
clear lense for the cloudy days and rain where you need protection from mud and rain.
orangey lense for when its sunny and dusty.

Yes. A clear lense.
I like the lens for all my riding.

I have a clear lense... used to have black irridium, but those died on wet, snowy day @ whistler. you'd think the goggle bag would be okay to clean 'em with...
the bike park killed my clear ones... need to get a new lense for snowboarding this year... oakley crap is so expensive :(
ps. the bike park is closed.

The yellow works good in the sun and in the dark and rain. The good UV protection yellow lenses are safe on your eyes. Smith's work good.

Yellow for everything, works in all conditions for me. Just make sure whatever lense you get offers UV protection, I think its safe to say most goggles nowadays are anyways.
