See the Mountain Right: Benefits of Smith’s Dual-Lens Goggles
Have you ever been halfway up the lift, sun blazing down on you, when suddenly clouds roll in and the light disappears? One minute your visibility is perfect, the next it’s all a white blur. Every skier and snowboarder knows that feeling when you can’t see the ground in front of you and every turn becomes a guess. This is where Smith’s dual-lens goggles come into play! Instead of using a single tint, hoping it works for the day, the Smith MAG series comes with two lenses right out of the box! One of these lenses are used for warm, sunny days and the other for cloudy, flat conditions. No matter which lens you use, they both have ChromaPop technology to enhance contrast, depth, and detail so you can stay confident when visibility drops.
Bluebird to Flat Light: Smith MAG Quick-Swap Lenses
Mountain weather can change so suddenly. One run it’s bluebird, the next it’s snowfall with flat light. That’s why having the right lens matters more than most think. Being able to see the terrain you’re riding on can drastically change the quality of the run. Getting caught off guard by a random bump you can’t even see is never fun. This problem can be solv ed by utilizing Smith’s dual-lens feature, helping you adapt to the conditions on the lift by swapping between the low-VLT lens for bright conditions and a high-VLT lens for cloudy or flat conditions.
Older goggles used pins and clips, requiring you to push fragile lenses in place, risking nasty fingerprints and causing much frustration. Contrastingly, Smith’s MAG series makes this switch easy with its magnetic lens interchange system, making switching lenses easier than ever, even with gloves on! Any goggle in the MAG series including the 4D MAG, I/O MAG, and Squad MAG will come with two lenses, both using ChromaPop technology.
Anti-Fogging and Venting for All-Day Comfort
Difficulty changing lenses may not ruin your entire ski day, but foggy goggles definitely will. Smith’s MAG series combats this issue with their 5x anti-fog inner lens coating, making it five times more fog resistant than standard anti-fog coatings. With the added AirEvac venting system, which works with most helmets to actively pull out moisture and hot air, giving you goggles that stay clear even when hitting the glades or sending those park days.
This isn’t an afterthought—it’s built into the MAG goggles from day one. Seamless helmet integration means air circulates efficiently, reducing the sweaty buildup that causes fogging.
They will also come with Smith’s 5x anti-fog inner lens coating and AirEvac venting, ensuring your vision is clear the entire day.
Fit and Comfort: Tailored for Everyone
Smith spent countless hours engineering their goggles to work with a wide range of face shapes and helmet models, so you don’t have to worry about awkward gaps or pressure points. Their triple-layer DriWix foam offers both soft comfort and moisture management, wicking sweat away from your skin. Their AirEvac venting and DriWix foam helps you stay cool and comfortable on the mountain.
Adjustable straps also ensure a snug fit, and the low-profile frames mean less bulk and more steez. As a bonus, for those with prescription needs, Smith also offer over-the-glasses (OTG) compatibility and prescription inserts on select models, so everyone can enjoy the various features of Smith’s goggles.
Final Thoughts
Mountain weather is always a wild card, you never know if it's gonna be a relaxing bluebird day, or a chilly cloudy one.
