I think these are good goggles with a couple minor flaws. The lens change is one of the more difficult ones I've seen. Once I figured out you have to start with both ends it made it easier but still rather difficult. And this may just be my face shape but I have to tighten the strap quite tight to keep air and sometimes small amounts of snow from getting past the foam. Not a huge deal but slightly annoying. Other than that, I like the feel. They are comfortable for a full day of riding and I can see well. Quite a large field of view. I'd probably go with the squad mag if I did it over again but for the price these are solid.
These goggles are amazing. The visibility is like no other goggle I've worn. Highly recommend.
Excellent quality and clarity, fits my mission helmet perfect! Highly recommend.
Great wide view, fit perfectly!
Awesome! Great size
Great goggles
Just Da Best
I'm really happy with these goggles. I love the way the Everyday Red Mirror color looks. The yellow lenses are great for night skiing. These don't fog up on me, even when I'm wearing a face mask over my mouth and nose. My only critique is switching out the lenses can be a bit of a pain.
Got these after warrantying a pair of Moto/MTB goggles because the foam deteriorated without much use. Loyal SMITH customer for 20+ years because they have lifetime warranty. I'm thinking the Squad XL was a mistake. Not sure if it's quality control between the lease mold and the goggle frame mold, but holy hell the lease is almost impossible to install. The stock lense wasn't fully installed when I opened the package, and I thought I was gonna break either the lease or the goggles when I installed the clear lense. Google fit is comfy as always, and the field of view for the XL is great, but of all the goggles I'm owned over the years I've never had this mush trouble installing the lense (first I watch a video on YouTube, but it didn't matter)/
The googles don't fit well with the 'integrated' helmet. You need to improve your fitting site/instructions to help us figure how to buy the correct fittings when we are getting all from Smith. I had assumed getting it all from you verses a local store would have been a better experience. It definitely is not! I had to buy the Squad regular goggles and am also not happy about that helmet/google fit. Next move is probably buying a Giro helmet to get a better integrated' fit with these googles.
