when the amber ones cost more and they are discouraging us from buying ? yeah that looks like a good salespitch. .maybe , just maybe as the british and american army don't supply decent comfortable kit the soldiers have bought the amber ones in the belief they are better,.I also note that when you see photos of British and US soldiers on patrol in the desert that they are often using amber lenses. But if you'd prefer to trust the word of sales reps...
Have a good read of EN166 regarding shading colours, UV protection etc.
Maybe amber in prescription lenses is OK . I am not really sure as it is way outside of the knowledge I need.
one other thing too.check the maximum duration rating on the glasses too. some have ridiculously low time limits for wearing on them. lowest one I saw was 1hr then needed to not wear specs for at least another hour.
EN 166 F for normal use against high speed particles with a low energy impact the S rated ones are a bit pants
