Maybe I just like red cos of my name :S
Well, from experience, they definitely increase contrast, making it easier to spot deformations in the road surface, and generally seem to turn up the brightness in low light conditions. I'm sure someone could explain why this happening with regards to the light spectrum and filtering and stuff.
I also found the rose lenses the most cheery on a gloomy day; moreso than yellow and orange. And they make anything red coloured go mentally fluorescent :)
Compared to orange and yellow, they look a bit less geeky too.
They seemed perfect as an all-rounder for the Northern European Climate.
This is getting me all moist now, and great incentive for getting a job again so that I can 'splash out' on some new eyewear ;)
