“Great field of view! Couldn't have asked for a better lens and the simplicity of changing between sunny and stormy conditions. Would highly recommend upgrading your current goggles to these.”

“The I/O Mag has been greatly improved since the 1st gen version, in which the strap hinge on the temple had a severe design flaw causing it to fail when changing lenses or ever so slightly overextending the range of motion of the hinge. The problem has been rectified, allowing all the other aspects of these goggles to shine. Lens swaps are now easy and can be done without fear of breakage and completed with minimal effort. The optics of the Smith lenses are some of the best I've encountered and the second lens option makes it easy to address changing light conditions to ensure optimal visibility. Everyone's eyes react differently to light, but I was concerned the Gold mirror lens was going to be too dark for any conditions besides bluebird days, but the light transmission range was broader than expected, proving to be pretty versatile. Clarity without distortion is something Smith has absolutely achieved with this lens- honestly, it's pretty amazing.
Overall the fit of the I/O Mag is great. However, I was hoping for a better-integrated fit with my Quantum helmet. When worn together I do experience a significant amount of pressure across the bridge of my nose. Unfortunately, no amount of adjustment eliminates the pressure without sacrificing the proper protection of my frontal lobe- having to wear a mask isn't helping the fit either. With that said, faces are all dimensionally different, so to ensure a great fit I would recommend trying the goggles on with your helmet before investing.
Over the years I've had some good and some really crappy goggles...these are hands down the best I've owned. Great optics, fit, and aesthetics. And now that the Smith MAG technology has been refined so it works without breakage, I really can't imagine going back to another brand at this time.”

“I absolutely love these goggles! They were great on a partly sunny day. The fit on my helmet was super! With the season winding down I look forward to using them lots next year!
A super product!”
