So then I switched to dark smoke. That was great until I got caught out late one night and couldn't see a tihng on the way home. So... whie I still have some smoke shields I typically use the clear and wear my sunglasses. I won't be caught with a dark shield at night, and the polarized sunglasses are better than any smoked shield anyway. Now if they come out with a polarized shield I might be in trouble .

Smart. I always use a clear shield. Why carry a smoked shield when you can wear sunglasses? Plus, you can wear 'em when you are off the bike. At my last eye exam, the doc said I have the start of cataracts. Good sunglasses help prevent cataracts.
