With a broad visible light transmission range, all four colours automatically darken to a dark gray in bright sunlight and lighten to its original colour in cloudy or overcast weather. The lenses feature a special snow formulation that minimizes the temperature sensitivity found in other photochromic lens products, particularly in extreme temperatures.
