The idea that you just need 1 Lens is not accomplished by these goggles - They are not bad per se, but you still need to change out for differing conditions and they are hard to change. Ill stick to my Magnetic lens set up.
These googles work great in cloudy and sunny days
I’m going into my second season with these and I just remembered how much I hated them from last year. The lenses are very difficult to swap out, especially with cold hands. The lenses are always foggy. I wear them more on the top of my helmet than on my face. I got the gold chroma pop lenses and a clear yellow lens. The clear yellow lens is worthless in most situations. An uncolored clear lens would be better. Waste of $. Will be buying new goggles again this year.
I live in Minnesota and walk my dog daily for about an hour, regardless of temperature and windchill. My other goggles frost on the inside surface at temperatures in the minus teens/twenties. These worked well at -20F (-30 windchill) with no frost, though occasionally a touch of fog at the bottom of the lens that disappears on its own. My only complaint is that it is difficult to change lenses. Perhaps I will get better with practice. This review was done after only a half dozen uses. I can’t comment on how they perform over time, or with rougher use.
Why make these with interchangeble lenses when it is virtually impossible to actually change them? I know they make more expensive easier to change verisons but the fact that these came with two lenses seems to indicate that they are meant to be swappable. The package came with zero instructions. There are only some very basic and useles written instructions on how to do it on the Smith webiste. After watching several third party You Tube videos and over 30 minutes I managed to do it, but I am never attempting to switch them again. If you plan to swap out the lenses, do not buy these. As for actual use, they are about what I would expect for the price. They fog a little but not too bad. They are comfortable and easy to adjust.
This is my first pair of "real" "adult" goggles and I'm very happy with them. I only tried the tinted lens and it worked great in sunny conditions. I didn't need to switch to the yellow lens though I probably could have around 4pm. These are great for a small face like me, and they fit ok with my Retrospec H4 helmet.
It is a major pain to swap lenses on this model. Read 1 star reviews about that on Smith website. I am a man with strong hands - and it is still a major ordeal. No way my daughter can change lenses when needed. I do not understand how this expensive product with that major flaw can get high ratings.
Changing the lenses on these goggles is incredibly difficult and it seems like you will break the lenses each time you swap them. It’s not quick or easy. The low visibility lenses are very yellow, there are probably better low vis lenses out there.
Wore them once at the end of the season and absolute game changer. No fogging. No blur. It was super clear while snowboarding and I cannot wait till next season
Lenses are hard to change and even with the strap extended fully, the goggles leave marks on my face from being so tight (with helmet).
