I wondered if anyone had any thoughts on the best lense for the below?

Tossing up between Dark Amber Mirror or the Cobalt.

Thanks in advance!

    Hi Tom, 

    This is Art from ROKA. It all depends where you are swimming. Cobalt is a great tint for swimming in the ocean. The Dark Amber mirror is great for transition light and direct sun. If you would like to talk a little bit more about it, you can give me a call at 720-924-7129. I will be glad to help you get the right tint.

    Best,

    Thanks! So basically, I am in AU, Sydney. Some image examples below of the type of Tri's I would be doing in the R1's:
    husky tri swim
    forster tri swim
    batemans bay tri swim
    nowra tri swim
    An opinion on the best lenses would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi Tom,

    It seems like they are all ocean swims. The dark amber or dark vermillion will work great there. Also the Jade Mirror, that tint is pretty great, a little like the cobalt but with a mirror for help with the sun.

    Best,

    I was wondering whether light grey would be too dark for an early morning tri in UK when predicting the weather is difficult?
