“I spend a lot of days on the hill, and I always have trouble with fogging. I purchased the 4D Mag and a Smith helmet at the same time. I have had no problems with fogging (part of that might be due to have a goggle and helmet that work together). I recently purchased a ChromaPop Storm Blue Sensor lens, and it works well in flat light. For sure it's the best I've had so far in terms of dealing with flat light, which we get a lot of.
The field of view of the 4D Mag is my favorite features, the way it curves on the bottom makes it where you don't see the outline of the goggle.”
“Recently, I/O and 4D mag lenses have failed and it's very frustrating. I pay a lot of money for these top of the line lenses just to have them fail when I need them the most. I treat and care the for the lens to protect them on and off the face. So I must think there is a quality control issue. The lenses fail with moisture between the lenses so then the lenses fog up. I've been a Smith goggle & helmet wearer for decades. But for the last couple of years the failure with the fogging is pushing me to another lens. So, Smith,why do your lenses fail with moisture and fogging between the the lenses when I try and protect them?”
“If you’re looking for a lens to see well in flatter light conditions but still protect you from snow blindness, this is my choice. Im up in Ak and ride 90% of the time in a gol darn ping pong ball, so when it’s nice, I break out the Every Day Reds.”
“I real like the fit and the brighter light lenses, but I’ve gone thru two of the low light lenses due to a adhesive residue that has built up between the lens and the plastic film on the inside of the lens.”

“The optical clarity and comfort of fit are everything I could want out of a goggle. The Squad Mags breathe in spring conditions a little better but for deep winter the 4D is 10/10.”
