functional, comfortable but scratch
By Loris Villani
Bought models I/OS and I/O for wife and me. Both came with two lenses: Ignitor Mirror (VLT 35%, multipurpose all around light conditions) and Sensor Mirror (VLT 70% flat and low light conditions). The Sensor lens is ideal for skiing in cloudy and stormy days, we used both models during a heavy blizzard and the lens performed as well as we could hope for. Using anti-fog Fog-tech wipes we had very minimal fogging. Cons: lenses scratch very easily. We had read about that in another review so we were extremely careful. We also followed manufacturer's instructions not to wipe lenses when wet or humid. Despite all our care, lenses show some scratches just after one day of use (can't image having to pay so much attention on a regular basis!!!). At 50$ a lens, it's pretty bad when they scratch just by sitting in the box or looking at them. The hard plastic used for both the buckle and length adjustments can easily be one of the sources of possible scratches.Update: Since the initial review we had a chance to try the Ignitor mirror lens too. We were worried the lens was too light for a seriously sunny day, but to our surprise it performed rather well. We used it in a as "bright as you can think" day (gosh... I should post the pictures here to make you believe) and it didn't let us down. The shade color allowed for a smooth transition from completely sunny to shadow areas of the slopes and we it worked well throughout the day for different lights.Overall we are really happy with the purchase we made. We are planning to buy spares and we are seriously considering to repurchase the same lenses.

works great
By klone9999
Goggles work very well, extra lens is very hardy, the only downside is there is no easy way to carry the spare lens when you're on the slopes...Note to those considering, this goggle comes with a senson mirror lens as the spare, so when ordering, choose the lens you would prefer for bright light, and then you will have the senson mirror for flat light

By Dan
These goggles are awesome. I chose them as an upgrade from the Oakley A-Frame because the Oakleys were too small for my face. Oakley has larger goggles but none that fit as well as the Smith I/O or have as much peripheral vision. The Smith I/O is a great goggle for a good price. It is also nice that they come with an extra lens which is worth about $50, which you would have to pay for with any other goggle. I would recommend purchasing the Smith goggle Helmet Helper if planning to use with a helmet. It elongates the strap and eliminates the clip being in the back of the strap where the helmet goggle clip normally is. Overall very pleased with this purchase and would recommend to anyone, especially riders with medium to large faces.
