Thanks all for the input.

Think I'll just buy a couple of pairs of the cheaper brown and amber essential ones!

+1 and I didn't think the lenses were very good either.

I ended up reverting back to amber/brown lenses from Korda which are so much better

I've got the switch lenses in the Fortis overwraps, TBH the lenses don't seem to change colour much at all. With hindsight I'd just go for the plain brown lenses if they're cheaper.

Yeah I like the brown as an all rounder.

The switch works really well on the glass lense and the amber xblock is best allrounder

Would you say the brown is a good all round colour?

I’ve got the Bays with switch lenses. Hate them, they live in the car now. Too dark when light levels drop and not dark enough when it’s really bright. Much prefer my Essentials with brown lenses!

Evening all,

I'm looking to buy some Fortis Vistas with the Switch lenses.

Are the Switch lenses all they're cracked up to be?

Do any of you use them?

I've read people say that they use brown or amber as an all round colour.

Any input appreciated!! 😃
