For the time of day you play, a light yellow tint will increase the contrast of what you are looking at and will make it easier for you to pick out your targets. Definately get a thermal. (I'm not sure they even make tinted non-thermal) And get or rig up a fan. A combination of thermal and fan will ensure you never fog.

A yellow lense will make you easier to be seen by other players but is DEFINATELY helpful is seeing in lowlight or wooded situations. Try looking though one sometime. I have a Purple IZE with yellow lenses (ghetto colors represent!) and I can see opposing players in twilight conditions.

The most Ghetto colors (as in a pair) are Purple and Gold/yellow. Silver/Chrome can be used to ghetto stuff up but chrome by itself is not ghetto. Purple and gold on ANYTHING or even by themselves, designated ghetto-ness.

Isn't there like "brushed chrome" and "polished chrome?" One being more ghetto than another?

I know what you're talking about, but the yellow, IMO, is more ghetto than both of them combined. The only thing that could be more ghetto is a yellow/gold prism. That would be MAJORLY ghetto and cool. Plus you could see REALLY well and not worry about the glare.

If you find somewhere you can get one for free, please let me know. Most places charge around $20 for new lenses.

I use yellow lenses in my Spectra's. I don't even notice the tint. They help in woods and speedball. I can't explain how, just more "clarity."
