I never wear sunglasses when I'm riding, but now that the temperatures are going to be dropping(probably), I'm looking at the oakley split jacket sunglasses(with wind gasket accessory), and wondering what lens to get for night riding? My ski goggles seem too bulky to use unless it gets extremely cold.
 
Clear lens is best for night. That wind gasket might cause some fogging.
 
Definitely clear lenses at night. With clear lenses, 8% of the light incident on the lenses doesn't transmit through the lenses. Any tinting would make that worse. At night you want all the light you can get. I don't wear goggles or have any fancy gaskets for night riding, and I don't have any issues with wind in the eyes.

For looking cool, wear the shades so dark they won't even know your name.

For seeing where you're headed, clear lenses.
 
Clear lens safety glasses work for me.
