Foggy goggles suck. Protect yourself from clouded vision with the Smith Prodigy Turbo Fan Goggle, which uses a two-speed micro fan to provide additional ventilation. The Prodigy also features a spherical, Carbonic-X lens with Smith's TLT Optics for clarity, and dual-layer DriWix face foam for a comfortable fit. The Articulated Outrigger Positioning System helps the Prodigy fit snugly with or without a helmet.
This is the second pair I have tried , first thing is they are the most comfortable googles, the foam is soft and con forms well. They work great in the cold. seen these used on a Everest expedition so I tried them out and wow they are amazing , if your in the bitter cold you dont want to take of your googles and expose your fingers so these are perfect for that ! fan has a low and high speed! really sucks out the fog , lenses are super nice as well.
I use these goggles for eye protection for outdoor winter work, like snow blowing & wood chopping. I've tried several other brands of industrial work goggles, tactical goggles, & snow goggles, all claiming to be "fog-free." In reality, this is the only pair I've found that actually stays fog-free after more than a few minutes of work. And they do fit over my eyeglasses. I wish I had found these sooner, because I've wasted far more money on past goggles that fogged up than I spent on these.
Not specifically, but they're pretty big so they should work. Search for Smith's OTG (over the glasses) line to find ones that are designed for the purpose.
Any one who has problems with fogging these are a must have. I have used them in the backcountry , and resort skiing, they have always performed. They are large on your face, but who cares how you look when your working for first tracks.
You would have to go directly through Smith and they would be able to get everything set up. I would just give them a call. Here is there number 800-635-4401
I got these straight from smith after having fogging problems with the regular prodigys. I have taken my share of diggers and headers this season and the fan seems like it has developed a type of short. The fan runs slower, even on high, and sometimes would just stop. They did work before they "shorted". I have never had a pair of goggles that would not fog and the turbo fan worked when it was working right. Guess they are no that durable
Smith has a limited lifetime warranty, so your best bet would be to shoot their warranty department an email. They should be able to hook you up, but they might charge you if they think that it was due to "normal wear and tear"
I got these after my I/O's fogged up consistently, ruining a day at Alta. I sweat a bit in all conditions, so I think that led to it. Got these, they took care of that problem.
The good: no fog ever, good fit for my huge melon, mirrored lens works well.
The bad: lenses scratch easily, expensive, if fan breaks you're back to square one, you can hear the fan even on low.
The Sensor mirror is a light rose base lens tint with a multi-layer mirror that totally maximizes color definition and increases depth perception in varying conditions. It has a 70% VLT.--------------And it's the best flat light lens ever.
These goggles worked great until I was eaten by a back country snow drift that sank me over my head. After that, the fan never worked again, which is not the worst thing. Getting the POWDER out with my hand, just like I had done frequently with an older, cheap pair of goggles, left these Smiths unusable - totally scratched up over half the lens where I had picked out little slush chunks.
I have used the Smith turbo goggles with eye glasses for several years and they work great. Make sure they fit over your eye glasses. Also make sure the air inlet at the top of the goggle is not blocked by your hat or helmet (I cut out a small notch in my helmet to improve the air flow)
this may be a stupid question but is there any other type of ventilation system other than the fan? I can't really tell from the pictures and was wondering in case the fan were to break.
Well, in case you were wondering the turbo fan really does work! I am an ex-college o-lineman, so needles to say I work up a real sweat on the Mt. and I had some problems with other goggles fogging up (even ones with vents) so I bought these hoping they would keep the fog at bay, and they most definitly do, even on a 50 degree blubird day at Kirkwood last January, no fog! They are sized to fit bigger faces and work awesome with my helmet.
skiied them 2 days under the snowguns of northeast the lense scratched. Called Smith and they were no hope and lenses are not under warranty pretty much under any circumstances. Unfortunetely Smith Goggles don't hold the same standards of the sunglasses. At least, Oakley, Bolle, Spy are customer service friendly.
Sure have! They're really nice lenses for super sunny days. The r36's are great for everything else..... first thing in the morning, afternoon to evening. They're great all 'round lenses.
I really like the look and functionality of these goggles but I am female and have a small face. Are they going to be Ok or is there a similar brand with good lenses and turbo fan out there for women?
unless your glasses are super low profile I doubt they will fit under any non-glasses specific goggle.*************************The Smith Knowledge OTG Tubo Fan Series goggle will fit over your glasses and is in the same price range as theses. For about half the price, the Smith Knowledge OTGs and Oakley Proven Over the Glass do the same thing. By the way, WHY ARE YOU YELLING!? Relax; people will answer your questions.
