AWESOME!
By Jacob Sigal
I spent a few hours (yes a few hours) researching this compared to the airbrake by oakley goggles. I ended up going with these for price and the lens selection. The blackout lens is great for sunny days and (though I was concerned) about the Red Sensor Mirror -VLT lenses being too dark for snow conditions, they are great.

Very minimal fogging issues, best for any google I have ever used.

the lens changes out super fast and has a very solid feel to it. The bag that comes with the goggles is great as it has a separate inner pocket to hold another lens to avoid scratching, a small detail but important one for transportation.

Goggle fits my Burn Hardhat (helmet) perfectly no issues whatsoever.

Strongly recommend. In fact one of my friends just bought this exact set based on my review. I would say this is the best goggle I have ever owned, without mentioning the price on amazon is awesome!

Also love the black on black on black look!

Good pair of goggles - slight condensation issues
By Doi
These goggles are stylish and they fit great. I used them with a helmet (Giro) and they were still comfortable. One of the main issues I've had is that when wearing a helmet, some goggles are just too big - which causes the helmet to push down on the goggles creating pressure on the nose and subsequently making it difficult to breathe. The Smith I/O goggle is just about the perfect size for use with a helmet and they balanced perfectly on my nose.

Aside from fit, the provided extra lens (black) was a lifesaver. The pictured 'amber' lens is great when there is cloud cover, but the black lens makes boarding in full sun much more enjoyable. Changing the lenses is simple enough once you follow the instructions. I tried to brute force it - don't. After reading the instructions - bend the frame as instructed and things will go much smoother.

The biggest problem I had with the Smith I/O goggle is the amount of condensation/moisture that gathered inside. While I didn't experience any fogging, when the weather got really cold I found ice forming on the INSIDE of the goggle. This experience may not be indicative of a greater flaw in the goggle - as I've used them three trips up the mountain and only experienced the icing issue in extreme weather.

Overall: Solid goggle, limited/no fogging, great extra lens, fits well with helmet, watch out for ice!

Scratched Lenses
By Karim Afeiche
I found these goggles to be good looking and very comfy... BUT I'm giving two stars for these reasons:

1- I read another review that these goggles shipped and had scratched lenses, and guess what I found mine with scratches on the lenses right out of the box! I was so disappointed as I was expecting to have a sealed box, but it looked like they were handled by someone or were on display at the store. (Sold by ACTIVE LIFE STORE)

2- Quality of the plastics was OK. My Oakley Canopy are far better in terms of rigidity, finishing and looks. The lenses of the Canopy are also far less prone to scratching as they have like a protective hard skin on top of the mirror to avoid scratching when cleaning/wiping.

3- The buckle seamed to be practical at first, but when I came to stretch it around my helmet for the 1st time, the hook part of the buckle came off. Each part of the buckle has 2 arms wrapping around the elastic belt, and if you pull on it the elastic belt can slip between those plastic arms, and you end up spending some time to fix it.

I really loved those goggles BEFORE buying them. Saw so many athletes wearing them, but after a closer look I got so disappointed with almost everything on these goggles. However, I was delighted with the ease in replacing the lenses. I just hope Smith Optics makes some improvement on these goggles for next season and I'm sure that I will be buying their products again.
