Kept fogging up and the fog turns into condensation which freezes up. I let my brother borrow my $50 Amazon goggles. Neither he nor my sister’s goggles froze at all during the day. I want to note that in one run on Breck, the goggles iced up so bad coming down from Peak 6 that I swapped to the Photocromic lens… and that one also froze completely in the next 10 minutes.
I had to return the first pair due to the sticky silicone used on the strap to keep it from sliding off of the helmet melted off of it and all over my helmet. Seems it happened to another reviewer as well. Now the second pair I received has the same problem as you can see in the photo I attached. There is a lack of quality control. Very disappointing as they are great goggles otherwise.
Quite disappointed with the goggles' performance. Skied in different conditions. The regular lens for sunny day gave me bad visibility as soon as I moved into a regular shadow - couldn't see anything on the trail - didn't notice any eaningful chromapop action. In a moderate snow storm switched to the pink/storm lens - same very poor performance - I had better visibility with my old Oakleys even in flat out white conditions. Fogging wasn't a major issue due to the ventilation, however on a windy day it let some wind with snow particles through - I checked the frame fit and it was pretty tight. So overall these are not worth the price paid and I want my money back.
Both lenses it was sold with had defects and were unusable. They were so hazy that I couldn't see through them. Looking online, this is a common defect with the product. The product overall looks great, but until Smith fixes this issue with the lenses, I recommend steering clear.
Recently got these with a new Smith helmet and they are great. The optics are great and I appreciated having two lenses to swap for overcast and sunny days. The lenses are very easy to change. I had zero fogging issues with these goggles. Highly recommend.
I love to the look of them, but they fit tight around the nose area. better suited for those with small dainty noses.
He couldn’t believe the difference in vision. They really work wet, especially in the shady parts of runs.
The both sets of lens fogged in between each other. This happened just after the return window.
They're comfortable, don't fog and block just enough light to make skiing in bright sunlight a pleasure. They came with an extra lens for overcast days, but the standard lens works almost as well. The biggest drawback is that they're ridiculously expensive and i worry that the foam used in their construction will dry out and crumble like every other google I've ever had over the last 60+ years. For now, i love them.
I haven't had a new pair of Googles in over 10 years. I purchased these to have Prescription Inserts put in. Now I can see the signs while Skiing. I don't have to get right up next to the sign to see what it says!
