Smith I/O Interchangeable Optics Spherical Series Goggles - Mirror Lens
Smith's sleek, rimless design matches up nicely with the ease of their interchangeable technology when you wear the I/O Interchangeable Optics Spherical Series Goggle. Oversized spherical lenses curve like the natural shape of your eye to provide optimal visual clarity when you ride. The quick release lens system makes it easy to change out lenses depending on the weather and which lens works best in certain conditions. Smith uses their Vaporator lens technology on the I/O to keep fog off your lenses for crystal clear sight on the mountain.
Bottom Line: Smooth style meets clear visual.

PROS: Swapping lenses is ridiculously easy. Wide field of vision. Looks high-tech to justify the price. It integrates well with SMITH brand helmet, I used it with the Hustle helmet, and they were made for each other.
CONS: The gasket that seals the lens to the goggle frame has a tendency to leak in certain situations. Louie Fountain complained about this very thing to me on a pow day in Mt. Baker. Also, depending on the shape of your face, it might not fit correctly around the nose area, as some people have already mentioned. Flat faced people like me will have a huge gap around the nose unless you sag it real low. I personally wear the Prodigy goggles more often, or a Japan/Asian fit Fuse Regulators that I special ordered from japan (It has thicker foam around the nose for flat faces).

I tried several goggles before pulling the trigger on these. The I/Os are great. Great field of vision, comes with two superb lenses (bright and low light conditions), good fit for my medium face, dont fog, and look cool- kinda a darth vader look with the big mirrored lens but not over the top. Come with a very nice hard case to store your investment. Five stars

Changing lenses, it sucks (ahem...Oakley). If you think it really sucks and you have the right kind of face, then this goggle is right up your alley.
The switch is simple: Flip up the top tabs, pull off the top, pull off the sides, then pull off the bottom part of the frame. BOOM! The lens is off! To stick a new lens in, just go in reverse. Without a doubt, the easiest lens changing system so far in the industry.
There is more though. The amount of vision you get top-to bottom and peripherally is surprisingly large. It also comes with either the Ignitor lens (a decent all around to sunny lens) and the Sensor Mirror lens(one of the best low light lenses in the industry).
Now for the bad, there isn't much. The frame is definitely for the larger faces out there and a small amount of people have complained about an annoying amount of air coming in through the bottom.
Overall, those people with bigger faces and problems switching out lenses, prepare for Nirvana!

smith i/o goggles are well constructed, comfortable and stylish. super easy to change out the lens, super nice that two lenses are included! where they miss the mark a bit is that they tend to leak a bit and cause a draft around your eyes.. the main issue w/ any goggle is fogging, while these do a better job than most they are not immune from fogging.. when the industry figures out how to totally eliminate fog, we will be golden...

The lenses are relatively easy to pop in and out. The goggles don't fog up too easily, and clear pretty quickly if they do. They have a good field of view, and they look sick. My only gripe is that the lenses aren't labeled. I'm not even sure which one I have in right now. I might have to break out the dremel and carve a label into them or something. Still, they're pretty nice.

These goggs make you feel like you a savvy F16 jet fighter. Your range of sight is better than any goggle, the ease of changing out your lenses is no longer a frustration, and you get to pretend you are flying an F16 or a single prop plane from the 40's - your choice.

these things are awesome. i got rolled up and had to clean out the lens. the following run was a bit foggy and hazy but after airing them out on the lift everything was back to normal with a couple nominal water drops. oh and changing the lens has honestly never been easier. only problem is that i have to sag the goggles quite a bit for them to fit my face just right...but i can live with that

I have the Smith Variant Brim helmet that I use with the I/O gogg. My favorite thing about using them together is the way that the ventilation is set up on the helmet lines up perfectly with the vents on the I/O, so even though there are no lens vents (which I thought was sketchy at first) it still ventilates well enough that I don't ever have a fog problem, even hiking all over at Alta. The only downside that I should let you know about is that when I wear them with a hat they are not quite as tight around my nose as I normally prefer, but that could also be my head shape...
