Just the ol' polarized lenses work the best in the dunes/sand.

I agree..

I got told yellow for the dunes aswell,then got told blue lenses.. Confused
so i went with blue lenses when i went to stockton at xmas,didnt do much Rolling Eyes

As ashnery said some of the white washes you just dont see..
and i recommend the evening/arvo rides.. you can see everything..on the dunes..
and there's nothing cooler then riding on the dunes at night with the headlights on.. getting to the top and not beinng able to see the bottom Hrm

what a rush.. Very Happy Very Happy

Thanks for the replies , but still no definate answer on the best eye protection.I have the best mako's sunglasses as well , but still not happy- especially cleaning the sand and salt all the time and wrecking em .Does any one have an opinion on the light sensitive lens from scott as a option .The only other thing would be looking at snow goggle lens Hrm .

Maties were not even global warming badley at this ponit ......yet.....but riding at stockton dunes on the coast aint much fun in summer at 12 miday........APPART from the heat you really cant see the drops ,,we stay clear of the big dunes untill later in the day for that reason........

yeah those all of a sudden drops are not that fun gone over a couple of them riding along on the flats then all of a sudden come to a drop and just floor it over it and hope for the best,my dad done it the other day with his bike nose dived into the sand but lucky the bike decided not to roll over forwards on him.......

When I 1st got my quad all I had was apair of Scott yellow lens snow goggles , they were great in flat light, wish I still had 'em, I'v got the Progrip light sensitive ones now but I really can't see any difference in bright or dull conditions, with the sun directly overhead nothin is gonna give you perfect vision though.
