polarized or mirrored lenses in whatever your favorite goggles are. The biggest issue in open water is glare (IMO), polarized cut glare well.

I wear swedes, so for OW I have a pair of TYR socket rockets in an "eclipse" tint. super dark mirrored, basically unusable indoors, but they're great outside.

I think I saw in another thread that you like the MP Exceed goggles? If so, stick with those for OW. they make a "titanium" mirrored version that is supposed to be better in the sun and glare than the standard mirrored version.

+1 on everything Jason said.

For OWS, consider having multiple pairs of goggles so you can swap based on the conditions.

For the Xceeds, get the mirrored for bright conditions (I find them too dark for the pool), and some clear ones for overcast days. Sadly, they don’t make them with an amber lens for cloudy days, but you can get the K180 with an amber/orange lens.

If you want to go crazy with the lens options, check out Roka.
