  Yellow lens is an ideal choice for ski goggles at night because they can increase visibility. It is said that yellow tinted lens can allow 68 percent of visible light to pass through the lenses. Compared with other darker lenses, yellow lens allow more light in, so they can increase visibility on dark condition like on overcast or foggy days and at night. Besides, yellow goggles can block blue light which is very harmful to eyes and reduce glare as well.
