Great value for the money

I'm no snowboarding expert but I will say these goggles worked great for me.

First off I bought the rc36 Lens. I was leery about the rosey/copper tint but the mountain looked great and almost like a sunset hue partway through the day. I have a somewhat large head and they are extremely comfortable. They also didn't fog up on me at all, which really surprised me. Came with a nice pouch to carry them in and they feel well constructed Not much else to say but really great value for the cheap price.

I picked these goggles up for a ski trip to Vermont and they worked great. They are not the most expensive goggles out there but they are a great value and I had no complaints.

The lens has a slight tint which is great on a bright day and not too dark for a cloudy day or night skiing. They are comfortable to wear for a long period of time & I would definitely recommend these goggles.

The picture below is of my ski trip, I’m on the left.

Great goggles!

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2013

Just had my first mountain experience with these goggles and they performed fantastic. I have a big head, but they fit and sat on my face with perfect comfort. I spent about 6 hours on the slopes and the only time they ever fogged up is when I was breathing very heavily. A little bit of fog formed on the bottom left side, but it went away with each inhale. It never presented a visibility problem.

Speaking of visibility, it's amazing how good the view is in these. I took them off a few times during a run and I couldn't believe how snowblind I was. Put them back on and I could see again. I had borrowed a pair of cheap goggles from a friend a few weeks ago and I barely wore them because I couldn't see anything. Thankfully these are miles above beyond that.

I have the "Black Frame, Blue Sensor Mirror Lens" version.

Love these goggles

I purchased these goggles with a smith optics helmet. I am very pleased with both. These goggles aren't as bulky as the cheaper goggles i am used too. Everything is super clear and crisp when looking through them. The ignitor mirror lense is a good color to go with for an all around weather goggle. It blocked just enough sun on clear days and wasn't too dark when it was overcast. They are vented too and I have never experienced them fogging up. I would definitely reccomend these goggles.

Dependable Above Zero

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2014

Purchased two pair for wife and me for 5-day trip to Snowshoe, WV. Extremely comfortable, protects against sun and wind, and breathable. Only complaint was during sub-zero temps first two days of skiing as moisture buildup on the inside froze (temps got down to -16F). I made mistake of trying to melt ice and wipe interior lens with shirt, which caused interior lens to scratch.

I believe the reason for the moisture buildup was ski mask protruding too high into goggle, so exhaled air was pushed up into goggle and froze on interior lens. My wife's goggle only did this slightly around bottom of lens, whereas my moisture freeze was across the top and nearly covered the entire right eye. She also wear a different kind of ski mask.

All said, I still used scratched lens for last two days with no problem with temps above 0 up to 35F. There was no moisture buildup these last two days, and no fog whatsoever during 4 days of use. I'll likely just replace the lens for next trip as the goggles are very comfortable and may try a different ski mask to prevent blowing air into goggle.

Not terrible for the price, but the lens scratches WAY too easily.

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2014

For the price (as low as ~$30 if you choose your color lens that way), it's actually not that bad. It has features of higher-end goggles, such as vents on the top and bottom, decent peripheral view, comfortable medium/medium-large size, lightweight, flexible, silicon on the strap to prevent it from slipping on your helmet, goggle bag...

However, where they cut corners must have been in the lens material or coating. One day on a very windy and very cold and wet snowy day, I got some ice on the goggles. I wiped it away with the included goggle bag. From then on, I have a scratch that simply does not go away (and at a very annoying spot right in front of my right eye so everything there is distorted/blurry so I'm snowboarding with just my left eye, essentially...!) when I brought it back home and tried to wipe with microfiber cloth with water. And there were lots of tiny scratches all over from my one wiping that I did that one day... The person with the 1-star review here also mentioned that they are not to be wiped when cold, else they scratch... Uh, we are out on the mountains during the winter, and it sometimes rains or snows-- it's cold out there Mr. Smith Optics...!

So I had to throw out the goggles (replacement lens costs $35-40 which is more than what I paid for the goggles, so of course it's not worth it). As a replacement, I got Electric Goggles EGB2 and although that one doesn't have the silicone on the strap (didn't realize that's such a useful feature!) like this one, it is far superior in every other way--- at about 2-3x the price, of course... I guess expensive goggles are expensive for a reason...

TOO BIG FOR FACE

These are great glasses and protected my eyes well from the sunlight. The only thing is that I am a female and have a pretty small face and the glasses take up more than half of it! Just be careful. They work fine but look ridiculous.
