i live in a resort town in Colorado above 9000 feet and have been skiing for more than 30 years. i heartily recommend these goggles. The first day i wore them there were bluebird conditions. What i noticed that day was when we skied into the trees, my buddies all had to remove their goggles due to the low, filtered light, while i never noticed a change in my optics due to the photochromatic lense. The transition was automatic and seamless. The next day was overcast: flat light and occasional light snow, and these goggles came through without a hitch. Never had an issue with fogging. And with REI's return policy AND a lifetime Smith warranty, you've got nothing to lose even if you don't like them, which isn't going to happen anyway.

Good mid-tier with excellent glass.
4 years ago
I got the fire/red glass. It was an upgrade from cheap 10+ year old Bolle's, so probably anything would have been a step up. First the bad news: like all goggles, these do fog up on occasion. It takes time for them to get 'acclimated' to the temps, especially if the tems hover around freezing and vary from base to top of the mountain. I used them 3-4 times this past season, and each time same scenario: ok at first, then some annoying fog issues and tinkering with fit, tightness, and balaklava, and then resolution to acceptable no-fog state. YMMV, don't expect ideal performance out of the box, but once you get the fit going you should be fine. Now the average to good news. These seem to work quite well for skiing in changing weather conditions, due to the photochromic lenses that work like transition lenses. It is tricky to judge the extent of tinting variation having no googles for comparison, but I never felt blinded by sunlight or as if I were in a deep cave. The clarity and quality of the view is good, with no visible distortion. I also own the Chromapop regular sunglasses, and got these because of the excellent contrast that the polarized Chromapop lens provides. It is the way to go. The fit seems good, at least with the Smith Camber helmet. The build quality seems good, with a few useful features like no-slip surface on strap, vents in the right places, and generally solid feel. The red lenses look excellent on the outside too. Would I pay full price? Doubt it. Were they worth $120? Not when you know they are now selling for $80. Overall I would say a solid mid-tier choice, I hope to use them for a long time.

Moisture + fog
4 years ago
The first time I wore these google there was some light snowfall. Some moisture got inside the goggles after an hour or so and I could not get them dry or stop them from streaking. They also fogged up. I dried them out over night and gave them a second try the next day and line of moisture formed between the lenses and fog continued. I'd say I had 20% visibility. They would have ruined my day, but I was able to borrow a different pair from a friend. Sadly returning these.

Strap Silicone melts with exposure to Sun
4 years ago
I bought these prior to a weekend in Lake Tahoe. With three days on the slopes with temps between 28-40 F and mostly sunny all of the strap silicone melted on my helmet making a huge mess and essentially ruining the helmet and goggles. The lens were excellent but the mess was not worth it. Still using goo off a month later
