Smith  4D MAG ChromaPop Snow Goggles with gogglesoc

I like this goggle very much. I’ve been using it with a prescription lens insert from SportRx with an anti-fog coating. Before getting the goggle and insert I couldn’t find much online about using them together, so I thought I would share what I have found using them in combination. One of the best things about the 4D Mag is you get an exceptionally large field of view without the lens growing to an enormous size. And besides the much improved downward “Birds Eye” vision, it’s also worth noting this goggle also has much less visual obstruction around and over the nose. [In the Smith I/O Mag for example, one eye or the other is often blocked by the goggle frame over the nose. In the 4D mag much more of the FOV is fully visible with both eyes.] I don’t have a very strong prescription so I was able to have my insert made using the larger of the two size inserts that SportRx offers for the 4D Mag. The internal name they use for this larger insert is “Sugar Bear”. As you can see from the photo this insert corrects the vision for a remarkably wide field of view including nearly all of the hyped downward direction. And I have found it is really nice having the improved FOV -easier to check pack straps, pockets, and other gear, less tunnel vision, and better situational awareness on the slopes. The goggle has no air vents on the underside where the Birds Eye vision feature is and near the nose where exhaled breath can enter. This is a good feature in my view. And has a larger than typical area of venting along the top. That may make fog-free performance more dependent on using the goggle with a helmet with a brim (like the Smith Vantage or similar) that both shields the top vents from snow and also is designed to pull air out of the top vents. Perhaps using the goggle without such a helmet brim design accounts for a few users reporting fogging issues. Used with a Vantage helmet I haven’t encountered any fogging issues whatsoever for either goggle or insert. Even when snowing heavily while in up-in-the-clouds high humidity conditions, and running hot from exerting and being over-dressed. Pretty remarkable anti-fog performance in my opinion. Though I haven’t had the chance to test the combo yet in the most extreme high humidity, rainy conditions we often get here in Tahoe at the start of a storm. Conditions that only the no longer available TurboFan goggles have been able to keep me fog-free in the past.

I'm a 63 years old passionate skier, I've never been able to ski in low light / foggy conditions due to my lack of contrast eye condition until last week when i bought these googles, i skied all week under snowy, low light and foggy conditions as if its was a sunny day vision conditions, had the best ski week of my life thanks to these googles, i bought a second pair as a spare in case i damage mine on a ski trip and cant find a replacement, lens change is a peace of cake, i've never written a review before but had to share my experience this time, well done Smith, you've put Oakley Prizim to shame.

been rocking Smith goggles for longer than I would like to admit, but 30+ years. I really wanted to like these and on non powder days they are great. Problem is for me that the lower part of the lenses fogs on snowy days when snow collects in my facial hair. the downturned lens that makes these "4D" is the issue as I had a couple pairs of just the I/Os for years and never had this issue. this is now my 3rd season with them and they have become my non-storm skiing goggles only. I really wish they were better but poor engineering on these as every time i get any snow in facial hair the curved lens section fogs.

These goggles are great in low light, better than my yellow lenses. They come with a case, gogglesoc and an extra lens for bright days which also was excellent on a bluebird day. They fit perfectly with my Smith helmet. The one thing I don’t like about them is the face foam liner, for some reason they put the logo IN the foam, and it makes the foam scratchy on my face and also worried the foam will wear out faster. The foam also leaves marks on my face, never in my 30 years skiing has that happened. Other than that these are my new go-to.

These are a game changer. Fantastic optics in any conditions with the included low-light lens. Field of vision is excellent and ventilation (no fogging) is superior to other brands I’ve used. I have these paired with the Smith Vantage 2 helmet and it’s a very comfortable combination. I’m extremely satisfied.

Everything you expect from Smith and more. Goggles, extra lens, lens cover, soft case and hard case. Super easy to switch lenses. Work perfectly with my Smith helmet. Well ventilated and do exactly what they are supposed to do.

I prefer sunglasses to give a wide vision view, but winter weather says you need googles. Well these are the perfect way to get that sunglasses vision

Fantastic easy switching of lenses. Field of vision is just like wearing nothing on your head, no obstruction. No fogging at all! Very impressed

Interface with Smith helmet is exceptional, no need to get cheaper brands, like they say, “You get what you pay for!”

great, easy to switch lens, and looks good on the face - I found this to be a better fit than the squad or IO
