Smith Prodigy Spherical Series Goggles - RC36 Lens - 2007

Don't sweat it if the weather changes from bright sunny to cloudy to impossible flat-light conditions. Smith's Prodigy Spherical Goggles with an RC36 Lens improves depth perception and cuts down on glare in any weather. You don't need a different lens for every condition—the RC36 has you covered. Adjustable vents along the front of the Prodigy Spherical Goggles open to allow airflow when you heat up on the slopes, and the Carbonic-X lens won't distort objects in your peripheral vision. These Smith goggles' custom painted, angular frame adds an aggressive look to your ski outfit. All you have to do is live up to it.

Bottom Line: Don't waste time messing around with ten different lenses. Just grab Smith's Prodigy Spherical Goggles with an RC36 Lens and hit the slopes.

Great goggles

By:

Nice fit for large faces, and excellent sightlines through the frame. Never fogged up on me once in 4 days of skiing, including a warm day.

The strap is long enough to go around my helmet, but requires the $5 Smith Universal Helmet Helper accessory to really fit correctly. This is due to the location of the goggle strap buckle in the middle of the strap, where it interferes with the goggle clip on the back of my helmet. I guess I would prefer a simple one-piece strap rather than the one with a buckle in the middle.

The RC36 lens offers a good overall compromise, but can be a bit too light for super bright days. But if you want to carry just one lens around, this is a good choice.

The lens itself seems very durable. I try very hard to protect the lens from abuse, but inevitably someone else will drop my goggles or bang them up. So far, the lenses are holding up great.

Good all-around lens

If you need a 1-goggle quiver, this is it. The RC36 lens does reduce glare and improve contrast in any condition. My only complaints are that on super bright blue-bird days, these goggles don't do enough to reduce the brightness like a pair of mirrored lenses do. On those super-socked in days or when night skiing, they make it hard to distinguish what's in the shadows. If you can afford it, I'd really suggest going with a pair of goggles for bright days and a separate pair for dark days. Otherwise, these goggles will do the trick.

These work okay in all conditions if you need a do-it-all goggle. Otherwise, spend the money on 2 great pairs of goggles -- 1 for dark days and 1 for bright days. Your eyes will thank you.
