This post is so timely for me. I scratched my Blue Sensor I/OS lenses and I'm looking for a replacement. It's backordered on the Smith website, so I am trying to decide which to get.
So what did you settle on?

Do those of you who have the photochromic lenses like them? Last year, I borrowed a friend's Casco helmet with an integrated photochromic type lens. It didn't change very fast from bright sun to shadows.
How is the Smith?
For what it's worth, I use the Blue Sensor a fair amount when there are clouds around. Also have the Red Sensor but for me the Blue is better. I use the Red Sol-X Mirror for sunny days.I would like the Blue sensor. I'm watching the comments here to see what everyone likes before I order.
@volklgirl - you may be in luck. Try searching this on ebay (below), seller is "choosemart." If you can wear the Vice frames, there's your Blue Sensor. Just got these about 6 weeks ago, still available.So pissed that they discontinued the Blue Sensor lens! I scratched mine this year, right in my sight line, and have no idea how I did it. They were fine, and then they weren't.
I haven't found anything else I like as well for our flat light days.
My impression is that the Storm lenses are supposed to be better for low vis situations. Just got Chromapop lenses on sale. May bring them next week but hoping not to be skiing in low vis.So now I have looked at both chromopops - the yellow and storm rose flash..... what I'm interested in is a lens for skiing the alps above treeline when sometimes visibility is very very low. Which lens do you think is best for low vis?
And as I mentioned above, I'm reading that in general, rose performs a little better than yellow in bringing out definition of terrain in flat light.
