I've spent most of my life squinting out at the world from behind Rx lenses, and for decades had the choice of clear or "one tint for everything else", so being free to experiment with a wide range of VLT and tint is still a novelty (and a learning curve) for me. I agree that a higher VLT is generally a lot more usable anywhere there are trees, but down in the desert I'm beginning to wonder if there's any such thing as "too dark". The light is so glaring and harsh that even the 12% lenses I am running feel undergunned at times.
