Miles,
You're looking for the Ignitor lens from Smith. They only make 2 models still with that lens. I'd be happy to order them for you if you like.
I use a pair for upland hunting and sporting clays, and occasionally low light fishing. I don't use it for driving.
Regards,
R

Subject: Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Pink-tint polarized lenses
So for winter conditions maybe think ski goggles and sunglasses made by ski goggle companies. Oakley comes to mind. I used to wear their yellow lenses for cycling. I think it's the combo of pink/yellow for low light and polarized that makes this search a tough one.
Cheers,

Thanks, Greg. If it was just for fishing, I'd be content with amber. But amber somehow doesn't work as well for me in winter conditions.

Miles —
I went through a similar search earlier this year and want able to find anything that was both low light (yellow or pink) and polarized other than the Smith chromapops. I asked Brian Trow at Mossy about it and he said amber is going to be your best bet. I'm still looking …. Smith often has an old frame styles on sale. You maybe able to get a high quality lens at an admittedly small discount.
Please report back if you find anything. We might be able to place a bulk order.
Cheers,

This is a long shot, but Orvis used to make affordable pink-tinted sunglasses for low-light fishing conditions. They were great glasses for that, but they were also great for general winter use and driving on snowy days. Orvis stopped making them a while back, and mine eventually got too scratched to wear.
I've been trying for a few years, but I can't find anything to replace that pair. I have a couple of pairs of pink-tinted non-polarized sunglasses designed for cycling (they're okay, not great for fishing), and I bought a couple of pairs of sunglasses that have "red mirror" lenses but turned out to be amber tinted (they're great for when I want to look like a d-bag in any light condition). I've scoured REI, Dick's, Bass Pro, and other shops looking for pink polarized sunglasses. So far I think the closest I found was a $250 pair of Smiths or something like that, but I'm looking for something in the $50-100 range.
I've run out of leads here, so I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction? Does anyone still make such a lens?
thanks,
Miles
