Depends on the Transitions.. there's I, II, III... I don't know where they are now.
For general glasses, I've had Is & IIs and they are awful, exhibiting exactly what you describe.
I suspect the lenses I have for my Rudys are IIs and they suck. So, I mostly just use my orange, polarized.
IIIs are MUCH better but still not great. I don't mind the indoor tinting so much but they just don't get dark enough.
I think I'm just spoiled because, way back when, I used Photograys which are still the absolute BEST.
Unfortunately it's only available with glass lenses and I can't wear those anymore
My wife just got a new pair of Transitions and they look to be much improved.
The other thing, though, was that Photograys had a pink cast to their tint indoors -which was really cool- but Transitions are kind of yellow/brown. Yuck.
